You spend a few hours getting photos, writing up an amazingly detailed ad outlining everything that’s wrong with your car, and spend $25 or $50 to list it for sale on Autotrader and Craigslist. And then you wait. And wait..and wait some more. Nothing. After a week, you finally receive an email from a prospective junk car buyer in Vista, CA who seems interested and wants to come take it for a test drive. The only problem is, your car doesn’t start, which you already made clear in your ad; but of course no one read it thoroughly.

If you have accepted our offer on your junk car you’ll need to gather and take care of a few things prior to and after the sale:

1. Make sure you have all your documentation ready. While we buy junk cars with no title in Vista, you’ll often get a higher offer if you have a title in your name ready to go. Please note that we never guarantee being able to buy a car without a title, but we can work with you within the laws set forth by the state of California.

2. Clear out all your junk from the inside of your junk car! You don’t want to leave clothes, electronics, or other personal belongings in your car when it gets towed away, right?

3. At the time of pickup you’ll want to have your keys, title (if required), and of course your vehicle ready to go.

4. After the sale you’ll be responsible for letting the DMV know you sold your car and to cancel your registration and insurance.

How much is my car worth in Vista?

The current average offer for vehicles near Vista, California is around $246 with free pickup. If you have a full size pickup like a GMC Sierra or SUV such as a Lincoln Navigator, the average value is a bit more at $307, but may only be $209 for smaller and mid-size sedans like a Nissan Altima. Obviously, your vehicle's exact value depends on various factors:

• The year, make, and model. If we can resell your vehicle at wholesale auction, it's worth more than salvage values.
• What size is the vehicle and how heavy is it? Scrap offers are often based on vehicle size and weight.
• Does the vehicle work correctly? Vehicles with working parts are often worth more money.

How long does the process take?

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

What form of payment will be made, cash or check?

Whether you are paid by cash or business check depends on the policy of the buyer near you who makes a bid on your vehicle. While some of our buyers do pay cash for cars, many have moved to check for better book keeping and the safety of truck drivers. If you are paid via business check, don't forget that The Clunker Junker fully guarantees all payments and will pay you the full amount if there are any issues with the local buyer!

Here is what other cash for cars customers have said:

• "The transmission is bad. There are small dents on the hood from hail storms and the windshield is cracked. The main thing is it will crank and go into first gear but that is it."

• "My car stereo was stolen back in 2009 so my dashboard is cracked a little from them prying it out. I've replaced the stereo, but the dash isn't fixed. I got hit in the rear back in 2013 and the frame underneath got crushed in a little. The bumper is sagging, and the muffler strap broke so it's just hanging a little. Just recently I was going to get my license renewed for the vehicle but it started doing this lunging when keeping it at a certain speed. I tried to take it somewhere to get fixed and they said that they thought it might be the transmission, but wasn't sure. He said I'd be able to drive on it for a while which I did, but now it's starting to overheat when sitting still or idling. I'm tired of pumping money into this car so I want to get rid of it and get some cash for it while it's still running. "

• "The vehicle was in a car accident. The front bumper fell off, but is available. The engine is likely fine, but the battery was removed so I can't test it. The front windshield is cracked. The air bags deployed and insurance declared it a total loss."

• "Front end crashed, hood will not open, running lights, broken on one side. Cash offer for cheap vehicle to replace this one. $2,000 trade in value. "

• "No missing parts. We're junking the vehicle because the transmission is failing (works on and off) and we don't want to pay to replace it. It also needs a tune-up (plugs, wires)."

• "The car's transmission is really touchy, too much for it to be emissions tested. The repairs would be too costly, so I'm junking it. The seats have seen better days but the rest of the car isn't too bad past the cracked windshield and some rust spots. Relatively new engine and starter. "
