Can I sell my car without the title?
It depends on a few different things like the location, age of your vehicle, and what other documentation you may have available. We can buy some cars without titles in some states, but you will usually need a photo ID that matches a valid registration and/or insurance card to prove ownership. Sometimes additional documents will need to be signed and notarized. We cannot purchase abandoned vehicles or vehicles that have active liens under any circumstances. We will also not pay for impound fees if they are required to release a vehicle.
When can you pick up my car? I need it gone today!
The Clunker Junker makes every effort to be or work with the fastest and best junk car buyers in your area. Once we collect all the required information (and photos in some cases), we’ll forward it to our carrier or buyer immediately and they will reach out to you to schedule an exact day and time for pickup. Our carriers usually respond within a few business hours but can sometimes take longer. Because The Clunker Junker does not directly handle scheduling, we cannot fully guarantee any specific time or date. With that said, however, most of our pickups happen within two business days and many even happen on the same day as submission.
Are there any hidden fees, or will you change your price when you arrive?
Never! We know there are a lot of other junk car buyers out there who will try and do what’s called a bait-and-switch, where they offer you one amount online or on the phone and then try and change it when they arrive. This has unfortunately given our industry a bad name. When you sell your car to The Clunker Junker you can be sure that the offer you accept online is the amount you will be paid, guaranteed. It is, however, important that you accurantely and honestly describe your vehicle in our questionnaire as our junk car removal team will inspect the vehicle before towing it away.
How are your offers calculated? Why is mine so low?
Our offers are calculated in real time based on a large number of market forces such as recent sale and auction prices, prices of raw scrap metal, current buyer inventory, distance from your location to the buyer’s facility, and more. Our prices always include the cost of towing, which can sometimes be more than the value of the vehicle itself. Our offers fluctuate constantly and we cannot lock in any specific price until an offer is accepted and the required information is provided.
