Many people are familiar with the process of selling vehicles to auto dealerships, but not as many know about the ins and outs of liquidating a vehicle to a junkyard. If you have some junk vehicles that you are considering selling to a junkyard, but you aren’t familiar with how the process works, below is a guide for how to sell your junk cars in Lubbock, Texas, to a junkyard.
Get Proof of Ownership
For the sale to be legal, you need to prove you own the vehicle. This can be done by providing any of the following documents: title of ownership, auction sales receipt, mechanic’s lien, storage lot lien, or a repossession affidavit. If you can’t locate the title of ownership and need a new copy, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for your state can tell you how to receive one.
Receive Free Quotes
After you have proof of ownership in hand, it is time to start receiving free price quotes. Ideally, you should receive at least three quotes to get a fair idea of a vehicle’s ballpark value, even of you have already checked a price guide. The buyer will likely inspect the vehicle before buying it, but the preliminary price quote will give you an educated idea of what the final offer will be.
Sell the Vehicle
After your receive price quotes, it is time to choose a buyer. After you select a buyer, the junkyard will send an employee to your location to examine your vehicles and provide payment. The employee will likely be driving a tow truck in order to tow away the vehicles after purchasing them. If you sell multiple cars, removing them may require the tow truck to make several trips.
