You may hesitate when it comes to trading your junk car for cash in Maine. After all, selling a nice used car is hard enough. Imagine trying to sell a car that doesn’t even run? How do you even know how much it’s worth? There is no blue book for end-of-life vehicles. At The Clunker Junker we’ve become experts at determining fair market value for junk cars.
As Maine junk car buyers, we’ve seen a bunch of wrecks. We like these wrecks because they’re great to salvage. They’re worth a good chunk of cash, especially if they have working parts left. Some people make as much as $150 for these vehicles.
Sometimes a car isn’t totally wrecked, but it’s still a mess. We purchase beater cars that are still running so that we can sell the parts. You should expect to make between $100 and $250 with heavily worn cars when you sell them to The Clunker Junker
You’re probably thinking: “My car isn’t really junk, why should I sell it to The Clunker Junker?”. But actually, we can pay up to $15,000 or more for used cars that have life left in them. Maybe they just need minor repair, or you just need to sell the used car quickly because you are moving.
We have put together a simple guide and example for how to sign your Maine 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".
The process for getting a duplicate or replacement Maine title is fairly simple. If the vehicle was last titled in a state other than Maine you must apply for a duplicate title in the previous state. The registered owner should do the following:
Title Examination & Information Unit
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
29 State House Station
Augusta, ME 04333-0029

"The vehicle needs a catalytic converter. I do not want to repair it. It also needs the spark plugs and wires to be replaced. I have all 16 of them new in the box including the spark plug wires that will go with the vehicle. "
"There was some engine trouble. Both of the side mirrors are hanging off. There are no dents. There's just small rust marks from not being used or taking care of it in a while. The interior is intact, but it needs to be cleaned out. The lights and mirrors are intact."
"The engine has a knocking noise near the bottom of the engine. It hasn't been started in a while, but it was able to be driven when it last ran. I did not want to run it any longer and parked it."
"The vehicle was in a front-end accident. It's not worth fixing. The radiator is pushed back, and hood is in a "V" shape. The headlights are broken. The rest of the body is in good shape. Previous to the accident, the engine was well maintained and appears to be undamaged. It still runs. It has less than a two-year-old battery in it. The front tires are semi-worn, and the rear tires have a little wear. The interior is in good condition. The airbags did not deploy. It has updated speakers in the rear. "
"The only thing wrong with it is that it needs a new battery. I drove it probably once a week until a couple of months ago. I waited too long, and the battery died."
"I just bought a new car, and I am looking to junk my old one for some cash. It has front right side door damage as well as paint stripping on the roof of the car. There is a crack in the front windshield. Other than that, it runs perfectly and has never broken down on me. "
