You will have several options for selling your junk car. We feel that once you explore those options, you will see that Cash Cars Buyers can offer you the best deal.
Use Your Car as a Trade-In
If you are in the market for a new car, the dealership is likely to offer you a trade-in for your junk car. Before you even go into the dealership, you should call us and find out how much your car is actually worth. Most dealerships will give you far less money than you should get.
The salesperson may give you what looks like a good trade-in allowance for your old vehicle. However, you should read your paperwork very carefully. Wily salesmen will often tag the amount of the trade-in allowance back onto the final price of the car.
When you go into the dealership, do not tell them that you have a car to trade-in. Let them make you an offer on the new car and then tell them about your junk car and the price that we have offered you. They are unlikely to be able to match it.
Collect Insurance Money on Your Car
If your car was destroyed in an accident, you may be able to collect insurance money for it. West Virginia is a tort state, which means that a person who caused an accident is responsible for all of its associated bills. If your car was damaged due to the negligence of another driver, you are entitled to money for your car.
When you have an accident you should always call the police and wait for them to arrive. They will fill out an accident report and you should get names of witnesses and pictures of your car. You will then take the vehicle into a mechanic.
If the damages to your car are greater than the value of the car, it will be considered totaled. If your car is totaled, the insurance company must pay you for the value of the car just before you had the accident. The insurance company will determine this value; there is no legal protocol.
If you are not satisfied with what the insurance company offers you for your car, you will have to hire a personal injury attorney to negotiate with them on your behalf. This can take a long time and you will have to pay the lawyer a percentage of your payout.
Cash Cars Buyers can get you a great price for your car and tow it off your property within 24 hours. In some cases, an insurance company won’t bother to collect your totaled car. You may be able to sell it to us and get the insurance money anyway.
Sell Your Car Online
All you have to do is Google online car sales to find many a website on which to list your used car. These sites will charge you a certain amount of money to post an ad for one to six months. The trouble with car sales sites is that so many people use them and it may take a long time to sell your car.
If you have a junk car, it may take twice as long to sell than a working used car would. The person who buys it will almost have to be a mechanic. Some mechanics look online for car parts and they may not be interested in the entire car.
When you do have an interested buyer, you will have to take time out of your day to meet with them and show them the car. You may have to show your car to several people before anyone buys it. Listing your cars on such websites can be dangerous as you are giving strangers your name and address.
Cash Cars Buyers is staffed with trained, vetted professionals. We will tell you if we want to buy your vehicle over the phone and come get it right away.
