On arrival our Columbia junk 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 purcahsed and we cannot pay any impound fees.
Let’s talk about your other options for a moment. You’re probably thinking, “I bet I can get more cash for my junk 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 junk 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 junk 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 it’s 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 junk yard or salvage yard buy your junk 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 junk car towed back home, you’ll probably just accept that you’ve been scammed and move on. Bummer!
