Picture this: You’re cruising through the Valley of the Sun to an Arizona Diamondbacks game at Chase Field when all of a sudden your old junk car overheats in traffic because of the hot, arid, Phoenix air.

How our Phoenix cash for junk cars service works

Our main goal is two-fold: First, we want to make sure you get the most cash for your car as possible, that’s a no-brainer. Second, we want to pick up and remove your junk car as quickly as possible because you’re busy working downtown and don’t have time to waste. We have over a decade of experience buying junk cars in Phoenix, and we’ve learned what our customers need. We’ve come up with a streamlined process to sell your junk car in Phoenix, here is how it works:

1. What kind of car are you driving?

   Maybe you're driving a Ford Mustang convertible to take advantage of the over 300 days of sunshine Phoenix, AZ gets every year. Or, a Chevy Silverado 1500 that you use to tear up Bulldog Canyon. Whatever it is, we're prepared to make you an instant cash offer. Let us know the exact year, make, and model and tell us what condition the vehicle is in. Remember, being honest and accurate with your information will guarantee that there is no dispute at the time of pickup. In Arizona you'll need to have your notarized title, so make sure that is readily available as well. We usually can't pay cash for junk cars in Phoenix unless you have a title.

2. Accept our instant offer

   When you finish our short vehicle condition questionnaire, our valuation system will kick in to overdrive and pop out an instant offer for your car right on the website in about 30 seconds or less. That's right, you won't be waiting for anyone to "Call you back" with an offer. When you accept the offer, we'll collect some contact information so our local junk car buyer in Phoenix can schedule a time for pickup. How long will it take? Usually around 1 to 3 business days but as we don't handle scheduling we can never make any guarantees.

3. Schedule a convenient pickup time

   When we have all the info we need on of our local junk car removal specialists in Phoenix will be reaching out to you to schedule a time for pickup. They'll do their best to work within your schedule. Evening and weekend pickups are sometimes possible and they can even pick up on the same day under certain conditions (we cannot guarantee this).

How much can I sell my junk car for in Phoenix?

I bet it’s no surprise that this is the most common question we receive here at The Clunker Junker. Our offer range is pretty wide, between $25 and $11,000, because there are a wide variety of vehicles that come through our system on any given day. It’s a little difficult to answer without specifics about the vehicle, but here is some insight into how we put a value on junk cars in Phoenix:

• Year, make, and model matter the most.

  There's a big difference between a 2008 BMW 5 series and a 2001 Kia Rio. Obviously the BMW is going to be worth a lot more. In fact, we can pay more for cars like the BMW because rather than crush or recycle them as you might expect for a junk car we can usually sell them at a Phoenix area auto auction. That means we can pay more cash for cars in Phoenix than a local junk yard! Conversely, something like the Kia would probably end up at a salvage yard and eventually be crushed. The offers for the respective vehicles will reflect this difference.

• How's the condition of the vehicle?

  Junk cars that do not start or drive are worth less than those that do. "Why does that matter for a junk car?", you might be asking. The reason is because when a junk car buyer can be sure that the engine is not damaged, they can have more confidence that the parts on the vehicle can be removed and re-sold, thus making the value of that car more than if the parts were not usable. The same thing goes for cars that have been involved in a wreck. If the entire front end is damaged the buyer can no longer sell parts light headlights, hoods, bumpers, etc.

• Do you have a title for the car?

  The ownership status of your car is a big deal. In the rare case that we can pay cash for junk cars in Phoenix with no title, the offer is always going to be less than if the title was available. Remember when we talked about auctions before? We can't sell junk cars with no title at auction, so that really limits the options available once our Phoenix junk car buyer takes the car off your hands. There are also often fees associated with properly getting rid of a junk car with no title in Phoenix.

We buy junk cars in Phoenix and don’t mess around.

There are a lot of auto salvage yards and junk yards in Phoenix, AZ that will try and buy your car, but none of them can provide the offers or level of service The Clunker Junker can. Many of these businesses are extremely antiquated. Don’t even think about getting an instant offer from them, you’ll be lucky if they don’t make you send a fax! We pride ourselves in being a modern company with awesome technology and communication. Many other junk car buyers in Phoenix will also try and pull a fast one on you by making an offer over the phone, and then trying to give you a lower amount when they show up to remove your junk car. Shade is a valuable resource in the hot Phoenix sun, but a shady junk yard isn’t going to do you any favors, that’s for sure!

The Clunker Junker maintains a positive reputation in the industry and we work hard to go above and beyond for our customers.

How much will you pay for my car in Phoenix?

The current average value for vehicles in Phoenix, Arizona is $249 with free pickup. If you have a full size pickup like a Chevy Silverado or SUV such as a Nissan Armada, the average value is a little more at $311, but is only $211 for smaller and mid-size vehicles like a Saturn. Obviously, your vehicle's real offer depends on various factors:

• The year, make, and model. If we can sell the vehicle at wholesale auction, it's worth more than metal values.
• How big is the vehicle and how heavy is it? Junk pricing is often based on vehicle size .
• Does the vehicle work correctly? Vehicles with usable parts are often worth more money.

How long does the pickup take?

We can often pick up most vehicles in Phoenix within 1 to 3 business days. However, your local buyer or carrier manages all their own scheduling, so we can't ever guarantee a specific time or day for pickup on the buyer's behalf. Same day pickups are sometimes possible, but never guaranteed.

Do you pay cash or check at pickup time?

Whether you are paid by cash or business check depends on the policies of the buyer near you who places an offer on your vehicle. While many of our buyers do pay cash for cars, a lot have started using checks for the safety of tow drivers and better book keeping. When you are paid via business check, remember that The Clunker Junker fully guarantees every payment and will pay you in full if there are any issues with the local buyer!

Here is what other cash for cars customers have said:

• "Only three out of the five windows work. Both doors on the passenger side needs some "loopty loo" to open, but are accessible. Driver's side mirror is damaged (the fish lens is the only useful part). Of course, some sun damage on the paint on the hood. Oh, and most importantly it runs! Everyday last week, I took the car to my job in downtown Kalamazoo, via the highway. However, for about a year now, the suspension had a tension that finally decided to give this past weekend. So, the driver's side axle has dented the hood of the car, causing it to rumble while in motion. I'd feel terrible selling this car to a stranger on craigslist for it to be their problem. Instead, i'm hoping to sell my junk car for a fair cash price to someone with the passion of pulling apart and putting together large and complicated metal contraptions. I can also bring the car to you! I know that this car still has the possibility of making a freshman look cool in front of the ladies. "

• "The vehicle has no axles, wheels, front sub-frame, cross-member, and everything in the front besides two damaged fenders and a damaged hood. The entire interior of the car is dismantled and removed."

• "I recently bought this Jeep for my son. In the process of him going from his learners to provisional license I parked it at a coworkers. Now the truck starts only when it wants. "

• "This car is a soft top and has 200,000 highway miles. Hurry before its gone."

• "The vehicle has around 117,000 miles and normal wear from CA climate. It's got a new battery, new tires, and a new engine only about a year and a half old."

• "I'm getting rid of the car because, although it runs perfectly with no engine trouble, the rear end suspension is bent, causing the tires to wear quickly. I don't have the money to replace the rear end."
