It isn't something the average consumer thinks about, but junk yards in Florida just might offer a solution if your car has too many miles and too many problems to warrant investing the amount of money needed to make it a trustworthy means of transportation. You have a car you want to get rid of, but your 'For Sale' sign has garnered no interest and you don't want to spend money on ads. You've reached the point where your only recourse seems to be to have it hauled away. But if you live in southwestern Florida (Ft. Myers and surrounding counties), you might want to consider selling your unwanted car to a junkyard. Think about doing it sooner rather than later because parts can deteriorate quickly when a car isn't running. If the car was on the road until recently, be sure to tell the junkyard as you may get a better scrap value. A car in running condition is worth more than one that isn't. If it runs, that saves the junkyard the time and trouble of towing, which is worth some money to them and should help you net at least a little more than the minimum for scrap. How Much Can You Get? That depends. Several things come into play including: - Make and model of the vehicle
- Age of the vehicle
- Number of miles
- Condition of the car, exterior and interior
- Status of the title
- Location
Some makes and models are more popular than others, so the demand for parts for those cars make them worth more than others. Lower mileage usually means more parts can be salvaged and sold. You can make a few calls to get an idea of the dollar amount that junk yards in Florida might be willing to pay. If you decide you want to go that route, clean everything out of the car before you take it to sell, and be sure you have the original car title and your driver's license with you. Overall, it's not a bad option to make space in your garage and pocket some cash for that clunker.
