Time To Sell That Car Towards The Junkyard

Part of the problem is that the car is basically no longer worth anything. And that's one of those funny things about buying junk cars; the person selling it, tries to build value in it, even though it's going straight to the scrap yard. When the car gets purchased for scrap, it's by the pound a certain amount... so it doesn't matter if the "interior's in great shape" or you "just put new brake pads on it," that's all VERY irrelevant!

What you can do is tie up with a friend or neighbor to use their backyard or vacant space lot for storage or then rent out such a space. But make sure the rented space is a safe place.

If you answered "no" to any of the three questions, get rid of it! You can throw it away or perhaps donate it to a charity. Just get it out of your house as quickly as possible.

It is time for reality check: unless you begin to do something about your junk car now, you'll never get this job going. Instead, why not sell your car and make some money? That's right, even junk cars can fetch some cash, money that can come in handy elsewhere.

If you test drive the car and aren't sold on it, you should keep looking. If you aren't comfortable with the car, used or new, after driving it, it wouldn't be a good deal for you. Don't just buy the only car in your price range. Keep looking for one that will fit your budget and your needs.

Let's face it; you may even still have to have this old clunker insured and may be paying for tags for it too, so basically you're losing money having this car. It won't run, and even if it would you might be too embarrassed to drive it down the street.

If the junk vehicle in your yard is obviously not a classic car but is in decent cosmetic condition, the first thing you should do is see if you can get the car started. In most cases the engine has seized up which could mean it will cost you a lot of money to get it fixed. Contact a mechanic or somebody who knows a lot about cars to see if they can diagnose what is wrong with the vehicle. In most cases they will tell you it needs a new engine and perhaps a new transmission. The cost of buying these parts and installing them will probably far exceed the value of the vehicle. In fact, you might even be able to buy the same vehicle in working condition for far less than it would take you to fix the junk car in your yard. Not to mention that would be far less headache.

Cash and Carry: Make everything cash and carry. People will always try to get more for their money by feigning an inability to carry off an item after they bought it. They'll ask you for an additional discount for having to haul it away or try to scam you into a free delivery. Never offer to deliver anything or accept less for a large item just to have a buyer 'take it off your hands." Do not offer cash back just because a buyer suddenly realizes they cannot fit the item they bought into their vehicle. You can always offer to hold it for them a day or two until someone can pick it up for them, but this is generally unwise.
