If you have small children they will want to play around the car, they could be cut, shocked, burned, or become stuck in the car.

They will make you an offer over the phone, if you accept the offer, they will make an appointment to come and tow away the car. All you will need to do is sign the title over to them. A junk yard will probably make you the lowest offer on your car but they will take any junk car.

Another great way to sell your junk car is to sell it to charity. Actually, you are giving the car to charity but they will send you paperwork that will allow you to claim a tax deduction. The one drawback of donating a car to charity is that it has to be in running condition. It does not have to be in great condition, but it does need to have the ability to drive on the highway. This is because the charity will do minor repairs to the vehicle then auction the vehicle, or give it to a low-income person as work transportation. Once you call the charity, they will make an appointment to pick the car up from your home. You will sign the car over to the charity and in one to two months they will send you paperwork telling you what they got for the car. Save this paper for your taxes and you will be able to take a tax deduction for the amount the charity received for the vehicle.

Once you tell them how you want paid they will contact a local tow company to come and retrieve the car. All you do is sign the title over to the driver. If you do not like the offer, you can opt to have the company e-mail you offers until you get one that you like. Your offer will go up or down based on the price of steel, the current price of steel is how most online companies make their offers on your car. As you can see, there are several simple methods to sell your car.
