4 Ways to Get Money From Your Broken Down Car

If you’re tired of that eye-sore in your yard, or you’re needing money fast, you may want to try out some of these quick tips to getting money from your broken down car.

Sell a Working Beater

Maybe it’s not that broken down. You can easily sell a working beater to title loan places (which will typically pay you more if you’re selling outright rather than taking a loan) or trade it in at a dealership for a better deal on a newer model.

If you’re willing to do so, you can even sell to a private buyer online.

However, you may want to go with them to make sure they actually put the title in their own name, as you may be held responsible for any issues that pop up if they don’t.

Sell to a Pick-a-Part

You’ve probably heard the bad news about junkyards that just let cars sit, but don’t let that deter you from a pick-a-part place.

There are specialists who will help you with your junk car removal, as well as safely dispose of toxic or hazardous materials.

They don’t stop there, however, they help to recycle every part of your vehicle, helping others in need of parts as well as the environment.

Sell It as Scrap Metal

If you’re strapped for cash and you have no other choice, this is a good way to get rid of your old beater.

You won’t be racking in a ton of cash as most metal scrappers pay per ton rather than pound, but it gets you to cash in hand pretty easily.

You’ll have to haul your vehicle over yourself and make sure that your car is empty.

This may be your only option if you don’t have a title for your beater, as some metal yards don’t require a title to scrap.

DIY Junking

With a little time and experience, you can remove and resale easy-to-get parts from your clunker.

Just remove high-demand items from your car’s make and model and list them for sale online.

Keep in mind that you may have to wait a while for the right buyer when it comes to some or all of the parts.

If you’re in dire straits, it’s better to sell the whole thing.

Now that you know you have options, get rid of that clunker and get some extra cash today!
