What you need at the time of sale.

Before we can buy your junk car in Columbia, MO you’ll need to take care of a couple of things:

1. Get your car ready for sale and remove all your personal items.
2. Have your keys and your title ready if it’s required. We buy cars with no title in Columbia, MO but cannot buy every car in every circumstance.
3. Contact the Missouri DMV and cancel your registration. You’ll probably want to cancel insurance as well.

On arrival, our Columbia car buyer will check out the car and makes sure it matches the actual description and then hand over either cash or check in the agreed upon amount. Abandoned cars cannot be legally purchased, and we cannot pay any impound fees.

We buy cars in Columbia, MO to save your sanity

Let’s talk about your other options for a moment. You’re probably thinking, “I bet I can get more cash for my car in Columbia, MO” by selling the car myself. We won’t lie, you might be right! But at what cost? Here are a few things you’ll be dealing with when trying to sell your car on your own:

• No matter how detailed your ad is, people will be bothering you with the dumbest questions you can possibly think of. “How many miles are on it?”…197,000 just like the ad says. “Can I come take it for a test drive?”… No, the ad says it doesn’t run. You may soon lose your faith in humanity.

• Even though you’re advertising a junk car for sale, people will nitpick every single minor dent, scratch, and paint chip to try and get you down on price. When we buy junk cars in Columbia, MO, we expect them to be and never hassle you over imperfections.

• You’ll run into multiple no-shows and time wasters. “I’ll be there at 6:30pm!” they’ll say. As 9:00pm rolls around, its clear you’re never going to hear from them again. It’s too bad you just canceled that dinner date and ruined your whole night.

Maybe you think having a Columbia, MO junkyard or salvage yard to buy your car will be better? That’s what they’re in business for, right? We would probably get carpel tunnel trying to write about all the horror stories we have heard over the years. Here’s a common scam they like to pull: You’ll call them up, give them accurate details about your vehicle, and they’ll give you a quote over the phone. So you have your vehicle towed to their junkyard expecting to receive that amount. What do you do when they hand over a check for $100 less than they said? You’re not going to pay to have your car towed back home, you’ll probably just accept that you’ve been scammed and move on. Bummer!

When you get cash for cars in Columbia, MO from The Clunker Junker, you can be sure the amount you see on our website is the amount you’ll be paid. That is the end of the story! We have been building our positive reputation for years and are very proud that we’ve become known as one of the most honest car buyers in Columbia, MO.

How long does it take to pick up my vehicle?

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

Will I be paid by cash or check?

Whether you are paid by business check or cash depends on the policy of the buyer near you who places an offer on your vehicle. While many of our buyers do pay cash for cars, many have started using checks for the safety of truck drivers and better record keeping. If you are paid via business check, remember that The Clunker Junker fully guarantees all payments and will pay you in full if there is any issue with the local buyer!
