We buy cars in Austin Texas with a smooth and easy 3-step process.

Anyone who has ever tried to sell a car online knows just how much of a headache it can end up being. Most of the people you talk to haven’t read your ad, won’t show up when they say they will, and definitely will not come pick up your car for free like The Clunker Junker will. We’ve made our Austin cash for cars process so simple, it’s basically just three easy steps:

1. 1. Tell us how weird your car is.

   You live in a wierd city, and you might even have a weird car. Is your front bumper falling off? Does the engine make a loud knocking sound when it's running? To make you an accurate offer on your car, we will need to know these details, along with what year, make, and model the car is. Give us a call or use the form at the top of the page to let us know.

2. 2. Tap "Accept Offer".

   In most cases an offer will be generated in a matter of seconds. Take as long as you'd like to think it over, and then click "Accept offer" when you're ready to move forward. We'll connect you with our awesome Austin junk car buyers who will reach out to you promptly to schedule and arrange a time for pickup.

3. 3. Get paid cash on the spot.

   The final step (and our favorite) is when we get to pay you cash for your junk car in Austin. Our junk car removal specialist will arrive and glance over the vehicle to make sure it's complete. They will hand over either cash or business check and then tow the car away. There are never any hidden fees or charges, the amount you accept is the amount you are paid.

Do you buy more than junk cars in Austin?

We get this question a lot. Many people see our name, The Clunker Junker, and automatically assume that we only buy junk cars in Austin. But that’s not true! We buy all kinds of cars in all kinds of conditions. The good, the bad, and the ugly. However, as you can probably imagine not all cars are priced equally. So how do we put a value on a junk car? Here are some things we take into consideration:

• The age of the car

  It's pretty well understood that newer cars are worth more money, and it tends to hold true in some cases in the junk and salvage industry as well. In general (but of course not always), newer cars have fewer miles and less wear and tear on them. They have newer technology and the parts can be sold for more, or the vehicle can be re-sold at auction or on a dealer lot. At The Clunker Junker we'll pay cash for your car in Austin regardless of how old it is!

• The size and weight of the car

  Junk cars that are in really bad shape will more than likely end up at an Austin auto salvage yard. Here they will be dismantled, drained of fluids, and then crushed and recycled. When this is the case, what matters most for the value of the car is how much the raw materials are worth. The bigger and heavier the car, the more it might be worth. In some cases this can mean big heavy cars from the 1980s are worth more than a newer car from the 2000s. That's pretty weird to think about, but it's true!

• The condition of the vehicle

  Another factor used to determine the value of the car is what condition it's in. If the engine is blown and the car doesn't run, that may mean the parts are less valuable and it will be worth less to our junk car buyers in Austin. If the car has been involved in an accident, there may be few usable parts left depending on how severe it was and this can also diminish the car's value. If the car is to be resold at auction, even superficial damage like dents or scratches may make the car less appealing to potential buyers.

Everything is bigger in Texas, even our offers

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and Austin is no exception to this. It boasts a huge and growing population, and even has the largest state capital building in the country! That’s why at The Clunker Junker we like to make our offers big, because we know that whether someone offers you $500 more or $5 more for your car, we could lose the sale. The bottom line is, we don’t make any money ourselves if we can’t buy your car because you sold it to someone else.

Whether your car looks like it belongs in The Cathedral of Junk on the Southside, or on a showroom floor at a dealership, we’d love the opportunity to make an offer and prove to you that we really do offer the best junk car removal service in Austin. Once we buy your car, the rest is up to you. You can grab some famous breakfast tacos or catch a show at Zach Theatre. Let us worry about your junk car and get an offer from The Clunker Junker today!

If you prefer to get a quote over the phone, you can reach us at (888) 383-4181 during our normal business hours.
