Number one; there is the option to switch to cleaner energy sources such as wind, solar, wave, geothermal and solar power. In fact, it would be a good thing if EVs could force this switch!

Mostly if your car sustains damages worth 75% or more, it is given a salvage title. But each State has its own rules. E.g. Florida considers a car as junk if the car damages are worth 80%. Several States also use the salvage title to identify stolen cars.

sailing on a budget If the car is not registered or you cannot find the registration, a visit to the DMV will help. There you can get a Vehicle Registration/Title Application, or a Certification of Registration for Transfer of Non-Titled Vehicle. You could also use an original Affidavit of Sale or a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin. In some situations you can use an expired registration certificate.

The next option I explored was to ask dealers and mechanics if they’d be interested in buying the car I wanted to sell. I did come across a few dealers and mechanics who were interested. I later learns that dealers would refurbish the car and sell it to others and mechanics would do the same or they would use the car parts for repairing other cars and sell the metal body to metal companies.

I was then advised by a friend to visit a dealership. My friend told me that, since I wanted to sell my car, which happened to be a classic model, I should ask some dealerships nearby. I was surprised to know that these companies showed a high interest in my vehicle, particularly because of its model. When I inquired about what happens to the car after they buy it from me, they informed me how they are going to refurbish the car and sell it to other buyers. It amazed me because I wasn’t aware of this. Apparently, these dealerships aren’t the only people who were interested when I had to sell my car. There were a few mechanics that showed an interest as well, which made me realize that mechanics are also interested in buying cars.

The family car buyers then strike a good bargain with buyers and sellers in their established network. This is how they run a smooth business. Many people approach these companies that cater to junk car removal as a popular choice for various reasons. They require parts and prefer to use these re-usable ones that are less expensive than the real parts.

Now there are thousands of different companies set up all over the world that help people get rid of their old junk cars by paying them cash and taking it from them. These companies then break the junk cars down to retrieve whatever spare parts remain inside them in working condition. They sell these spare parts further ahead to different automobile companies like garages and repair workshops. These companies have huge crushers and melting pots in which they send the metal of the junk cars to first have it all crushed down and then melted. This melted metal is then sold by these companies to other factories and manufacturers who need it in their production lines. This is where the business of car companies runs on a day-to-day basis.

Now that you have these three values you can come up with an average to determine the value of your car before selling. Most people fall in love with their vehicles and think they are worth a lot more than what they actually are.
