Do you have a car that you do not want? Perhaps it is not in working mechanical order and you want to get rid of it. You may think of it as an "eyesore" and want it off of your property especially if retaining ownership of it is costing you money. Some jurisdictions and homeowners' associations have strict rules about storing non-working vehicles. Storage sanctions can be expensive. So, you likely have thought about getting the car to a junkyard. You may not have a mode of transportation to get it there, which can also be problematic. Another confusing part of getting rid of a junk car is whether to sell and how. The following points will help you identify some options to get cash for a junk car. 

Sell Locally Directly or Online

There may be individuals in your local area or nearby who have a need for parts on your vehicle. Almost every non-operational vehicle has some parts that can be salvaged and reused. Some older vehicles may not be in production anymore. This can make it difficult for individuals who own them to find replacement parts because some parts may have become obsolete. The vehicle that burdens you could be a good fit for someone who needs the parts. Choosing to sell locally could help with transportation costs because you could negotiate the sale and require the junk vehicle buyer to pay for the transport costs. 

You may also want to consider selling the vehicle online if your efforts to sell locally do not advance as fast as you would like. There are numerous platforms that you can utilize, and you may be able to accept bids, which could yield a decent profit from eager buyers.

Scrapping

This is a method of getting rid of your vehicle that will likely be the easiest. This is because scrap metal companies will likely have a value-added service that offers pick-up solutions. This solution may also be the best option if you are facing issues such as pending court dates for excess clutter on your property. If you do not have a local salvage lot, you might be able to find one that services nearby areas or nearby states. 

Piece by Piece Sales

This option may take a while to finish. This is because it involves selling parts of your junk car as they are needed or requested. The process is probably too tedious for most individuals especially if they are not familiar with removing parts from vehicles. You may also end up selling parts to buyers who complain about the quality.
