I do understand that we all get caught up in the moment at times, but please, before you sign anything, step back and evaluate the situation. Ask yourself, am I under pressure? If you are, go home and sleep on it. In my mind, if the salesman won’t respect that, he doesn’t deserve your business.

The third option I found when finding ways to sell my car was through a junk car removal service. These companies provide you the service of towing your car away from your garage while paying you cash for selling their car to them. Many reviews from people, on the internet, were very positive about the company and many were extremely satisfied by the reliable service they offered. What I learn was that this service is hassle free and no title work is required for the car if it is a model produced after 1995. Also, these companies accept cars in absolutely any condition and those companies which operated nationwide were reputed to give good money for the cars they were taking away. I was astonished because I had never heard of such a service before.

Well, you’ll basically want to take the information mentioned above, and apply it toward the car at your house. If you don’t know how many miles a gallon your car currently gets, a quick Google search online will be able to tell you.

Now, pay the dealer a visit with your car. The first thing he will most likely do is to research a fair market value. The dealership will probably work one or more of the auto value guides such as Kelley Blue Book, Black Book or the NADA Guide, depending what area you live in.

Last, you must find the car title to your car. If you are not the title holder, then you may not be in position to sell the car at all. If you do not have the title but you are the owner of the vehicle, you must contact the local BMV for information on filing for a new car title. Most junk car removal companies and «cash for cars» services prefer to purchase salvaged cars with the title. In some cases, scrap car buyers don’t mind purchasing cars without titles.

The numbers don’t add up. The government reports 457,000 sales under the Cash for Clunkers program – but even if every sale was at the maximum payout of $4500 (unlikely) there should have been over 650,000 sales. It would seem about one billion dollars of borrowed money has just disappeared.

Your third option is contacting a junk car removal service. This by no means should be your last option because most people prefer these services to get car removal companies. These removal companies are interested in buying cars no matter what condition they are in. They tow your car away for free. Instead, they pay you for selling your car to them. The reason why many people prefer these services over any other method of getting rid of a car is because most of these removal companies, especially those that operate nationwide, give you a good price for your car. It is unbelievable, right? They tow your car for free and even pay you for it, even though it is in the worst state possible. It might sound unbelievable, but it is actually 100% true.

Money is simply being transferred to one taxpayer’s wallet from someone else’s. All you need to do is agree to have a perfectly serviceable vehicle destroyed. But how many of those clunkers (which all must be scrapped) are in good running condition? How long could they provide dependable transportation?

As we all know, the car market has been dead as a doornail the last year and a half. The Great Recession brought sales to a stop. When this occurred, companies started taking dramatic measures to save money. One of the common steps was to greatly reduce inventory by offering amazing terms and bringing production to a stand still. It was a classic reaction.
