Here’s how the cash for cars process works

But you don’t need to be a genius or have an advanced degree to use our cash for junk cars service. We’ve been streamlining and perfecting our process for over ten years, and we’ve made it about as simple as possible.

1. Start your engine and share the details

   Actually, it doesn't matter if your engine can start or not, but we do need to know that information! We'll need to know what condition your car is in, and of course what year, make, and model the car is. We'll ask a few easy yes or no questions to get an idea of how much to offer.

2. Take a pit stop and consider our offer

   The Clunker Junker has a proprietary instant valuation system we use to generate quotes for your car. In most cases you'll receive an instant offer in seconds based on the information provided. If you choose to accept the offer, one of our Indianapolis junk car buyers will reach out to you to schedule a time for pickup as soon as possible.

3. Take the checkered flag and get cash for your car

   At the scheduled time of pickup our junk car removal specialists will arrive at your location. They'll do a quick inspection of the vehicle to make sure it is the right car and is in the stated condition. Then they'll hand over payment in the form of either cash or a check and load the car up on the truck. Easy!

We buy all cars in Indianapolis, junk or used!

When you hear the name “The Clunker Junker”, I bet you’re thinking we are only interested in cars that are in really bad shape, don’t drive, have accident damage, etc, right? It’s actually not true! We buy a wide variety of cars in all kinds of conditions, as long as all the parts and pieces are there. Whether you broke the suspension on your car on one of Indy’s potholes and it’s no longer driveable, or the vehicle was involved in a wreck on I70, we want to make an offer.

How much money we can pay for cars depends on a number of factors. Here are some examples:

• Value of the raw materials

  Cars are made of steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys. Those raw materials can often be melted down and recycled for new projects, or even new cars! As a general rule of thumb a vehicle that is large (like a Chevy Tahoe) would be worth more in scrap value than a small Honda Civic. Some metals like aluminum and copper can be worth a lot more than steel, which means if your car has fancy alloy wheels it may be worth more than if it has standard steel wheels. When we put a value on junk cars in Indianapolis we take all of these things into consideration if the car will be going to a salvage yard.

• What condition is the car in?

  You might wonder if the value of a junk car is based on its size and weight, why does it even matter if the vehicle can start and drive or not? Cars that are still running can be worth more because it is more of a guarantee that the parts are all in working order and can be resold. The same goes for a vehicle with major body damage. All of those panels that may be damaged (bumpers, doors, hood, etc) usually become worthless and can't be sold to someone who needs them. All of these things are considered when figured out how much your car is worth.

• Do you have a title for the car?

  Believe it or not, we can sometimes buy junk cars in Indianapolis without a title. However, this is taken on a case by case basis and we cannot buy every car without one. If we can make an offer, however, it is often a bit lower without a title than with. Why? For one there is a lot more inherent risk in buying a car with no title. Maybe there is a hidden lien on the vehicle, for example. Plus, after the sale the options available for making money are greatly reduced. All of this leads to a lower offer if you don't have a title.

What should I do before and after I sell my car in Indianapolis?

So you’re ready to take the plunge and get cash for your junk car in Indy from The Clunker Junker? Great! Here are some things you should do before and after the sale to ensure a smooth and successful process. You can never be too prepared!

• Clear out all your personal stuff from the car. Hats, jackets, children, etc.
• If possible, remove your license plate(s) from the car.
• Pull your title out of the file cabinet, safe deposit box, or dig it up from the backyard.
• After the sale, you’ll want to notify the BMV that you sold your car and cancel the registration.
• Also let your insurance company know the car is gone as well.

Once the sale is a done deal, you’ll finally be able to stop worrying about selling your car and enjoy some of the great attractions in Indianapolis. Bring the kids to the Indy children’s museum or Zoo, or tailgate at Lucas Oil Stadium before a Colts game. Whatever you do, put that junk car out of your mind and the cash into your pocket!

Here is what other cash for cars customers have said:

• "The water pump and timing belt are broken, so it overheats. Brand new tires, complete exhaust, front brakes, spark plugs, PIL change, all new in last three to seven months."

• "Dash ripped out in a car theft, passenger window locked in place with wood. Two brand new tires (less than 100 miles on them) and new battery installed 12/14."

• "The engine is in the trunk because the car is at an auto shop. They messed with the car after we told them not to. All car parts should be there, along with a new/redone RBL cylinder head. "

• "It has been sitting in front of my house since October, so I do not think it will start but I honestly have not tried. Sorry for the confusion. There is no flood damage, it just has some water damage."

• "I'm looking to junk my car. I replaced the motor and I could hear metal grinding inside. It has damage from a large tree limb falling on it. The transmission and 4WD still work pretty well. The interior is in decent condition. "

• "The battery is dead but the vehicle will start and makes a horrible noise that leads me to believe the engine is going. It has minor dents, decent scratches, but no rust. Transmission was replaced last year and it has two tires that only have 250 miles of wear, tops. The third brake light needs replaced and the car comes without a stereo. "
