While most tourists know Colorado for its beautiful Rocky Mountains, skiing villages and chalets, the majority of Coloradans are struggling to get by just like the rest of America. At the Clunker Junker, we understand that, and we recognize that one of the main reasons why our customers choose to sell us their junk cars is because they need money and quickly. You might not be able to wait two weeks to receive cash or a check, which is why we aim to pick up cars in less than three business days in most cases and pay when we collect the vehicle.

Your junk car just doesn’t fit in with the beautiful scenery of places like the Garden of the Gods, Pike’s peak, or Mesa Verde. It’s time to get that rotting hunk of metal out of your driveway and free up some valuable space in your garage or driveway. If you need cash for junk cars in Colorado, The Clunker Junker has you covered with the best offers and the fastest, friendliest, and most professional service available.

With all of this experience we’ve made our Colorado junk car removal seamless so that you can rest in the comfort of your own home or hit the mountains while we do the heavy lifting. Here’s how to sell us your junk car:

1. Tell us what junk vehicle you have

   Before we can give you a precise offer for your vehicle, we need to understand what we are buying. First, you should fill out our offer form at the top of the page and tell us the model year of your vehicle and the make and model of the vehicle. We'll also need to know the title status and the condition of the vehicle.

2. Accept our cash offer

   With this information, we can calculate out how much your junk car is worth and therefore what we can offer you. We pay top dollar for junk cars so that you don’t have to waste your time creating ads and dealing with unreliable buyers on auction or classifieds websites.

3. Our team picks up your car for no charge

   Unlike many other junk car buyers, we pick up your car free of charge from your home or wherever it’s located.

When we arrive we’ll buy your junk cars for cash or a check.

For how much can I sell my junk car in Colorado?

The chances are that your car is probably worth far more than you think it is, especially if you’re basing your quote off of a Colorado auto salvage yard. We pay cash for your junk car in Colorado and strip all of the valuable parts for sale before crushing the vehicle for scrap. Our process allows us to offer you far more than you might expect depending on the condition of the car:

Real junk that’s beyond repair

If your car is a piece of junk with no valuable parts it’s only worth the value of its scrap metal. These are the kinds of cars that most of us think of when you hear the word “junk”, a rusted out shadow of its former self that would be impossible to repair. These vehicles are typically priced based on their size rather than parts and you could expect to be paid between $50 and $225 for a vehicle in this condition. We’ll even pay cash for junk cars with no titles whenever possible.

Vehicles with some valuable parts

Cars in this category are normally in fairly bad condition, but may have some valuable parts, or they aren’t in the absolute worst condition. We can afford to pay you significantly more money for a vehicle in this condition because the parts hold some value in the resale market.

Not junk at all!

While some of the cars that we purchase are covered in rust and haven’t been started in years, we also buy used cars in Colorado that aren’t junk at all. Depending on the vehicle that you own and its condition you could expect a paycheck between $200 and $10,000. Fill out our offer form today and find out.

How to sign your Colorado car title

We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Colorado title when you are selling your vehicle. If there are multiple owners listed on the title, they must all sign the title unless the names are separated with "OR".

2. Sign your name on the back of the title where indicated by "Seller(s) Signature" (see image).
   Always sign in pen on the seller line and never sign in the dealer section.
3. Hand print your name on the back of the title where it says "Seller's hand printed name(s)". Always include any and all middle names or initials that are used in the owner section.

• "The title couldn't be transferred due to failure of emissions. The title was open and notarized, but it was signed in the buyer section. It is now a parts car. It's probably a simple fix, I just don't have the time."

• "I'm junking the vehicle due to not being able to fix the timing issue. It has a bunch of new parts on it such as the radiator, thermostat, water pump, air filter and gas cap. It comes with new spark plugs, wires and oil change supplies. I cannot afford to fix the timing issue. The tires have good tread. Everything on it worked as of three weeks ago, until the radiator cracked and caused the rest of the issues that need to be fixed."

• "The vehicle's head gasket is blown, the heater core is broken, and the passenger-side floor is flooded from the leaked coolant. Due to the gasket, the muffler blows out thick white smoke making driving the vehicle unsafe."

• "The vehicle overheated and the motor blew. I just put $2,250 into it in September for a new transmission, water pump and complete rear brakes. The interior is in great shape. I have no time or cash for a new motor, and I don't want to part it out. It's stuck on the side of the highway right now."

• "I got into an accident. The wheel well on the front right side of the car is damaged. Because of it, I can't open the right side doors. The car runs fine, but the rod that connects the front right tire to the steering is broken."

• "The vehicle has only had one owner, it's never been wrecked, and there's no body damage. The radiator has a small leak. The power steering has a small leak as well. There's also a slow leak in the driver-side rear tire. It runs well, and everything works. It is loaded. It has a six-disc CD Boise player, a sunroof, power seats, windows, and the A/C works. It needs a radiator, and some power steering leaks need to be repaired. It was maintained exclusively at the dealership, only. It's an AWD."
