Do you have a junk car sitting in your yard,
taking up space in a garage or driveway, or just being an eyesore? Before considering having your junk car in Chicago IL towed away for free or, for the less patient - torched, think about selling your car and making some real money off of it. Many people are looking for old cars and antique or spare parts. Your car may be just what they are looking for and a buyer would be willing to pay to have it.
Before selling it, however, there are steps you can take to make your junk car in Chicago IL more valuable and in order to make more money off of it. First of all, you must have the vehicle title; a legal business will only buy the car from its owner. If the car is a family member’s make sure they give you the title so you can have it to give the purchaser. Once you have the title, you should asses the vehicle you are selling, make a list of any damage to the body, and also make a list of any systems or parts that are malfunctioning or just not working at all. While checking this, make sure to include any missing parts on the list. While assessing your vehicle make a check of the wear on the tires and check the interior condition. Make sure you know as much about the car as you can, as the purchaser may ask several questions about the quality of the vehicle before making an offer on the original price. If at all possible, try to get the car into running condition because a working car will be able to get you as much as 10 times the amount that a junk car in Chicago IL that’s not running will.
Once you are ready to sell, call for quotes to get information on who will give you the best price and to learn about their towing policies. You should also find out whether they will charge extra for a long-distance tow. Of course, if you have managed to get your car running, you will not need any towing information. There is also the option to tow the car yourself, using a tow dolly or bar to deliver the car yourself. Many purchasers will offer an increased price for a car that they don’t have to tow themselves.
