Junking vs. Salvaging: Which Gets You More Cash?
When you’re looking to get the best price for your vehicle, it’s important to understand the difference between junking and salvaging. Junking your car typically offers a quick sale with immediate cash, but salvaging may allow for higher offers if your car has reusable parts or valuable materials.
Salvage buyers focus on extracting value from the vehicle, usually offering a higher price. We connect you to both options, ensuring you get the best possible price based on the condition of your car.
Whether you choose junking or salvaging, we help you make an informed decision and maximize your payout!
What Document Do I Need to Junk My Car?
You can still junk your car even if you don’t have the title! While having the title makes the process smoother, we work with you to handle junking your vehicle without it.
All we need is some basic information about your car, such as the make, model, and year, as well as valid identification to prove ownership. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure everything is taken care of.
Don’t worry about missing paperwork—just contact us, and we’ll help you junk your car, title or not!
Frequently Asked Questions
What Do I Need To Junk My Car?
You’ll need your title, a valid ID, and a completed BMV Form 3774 if applying for a duplicate title. All liens must be cleared. Visit the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to get started. However, Ohio law allows vehicles that are at least 10 years old to be junked without a title, provided you complete a BMV form 4205 (Affidavit for a Junk Vehicle Without Title) and supply supporting documents such as a bill of sale or expired registration.
How Much Is My Car Worth?
It depends on your car’s make, model, condition, weight, demand for parts, and local scrap prices. Salvageable parts can boost your payout.
What If The Car Still Runs?
Even better—cars that run or have reusable parts usually earn higher offers. Whether it’s a total lemon or something with a little life left, we’ll lock in the best deal—while you sit back and relax.
What Type of Vehicles Do You Buy?
Everything from sedans and pickups to vans, motorcycles, and RVs. No vehicle too big or too broken.
Is My Car Too Good To Be Considered Junk?
If it’s in fair shape, we may list it as salvage instead of junk, earning you a higher payout. Find out more about vehicle salvaging.
What’s the Difference Between Junking vs. Salvaging?
Junk cars are crushed and recycled. Salvage vehicles still have valuable parts and bring in more cash. Salvaging is perfect for vehicles that are too expensive to repair. When you provide us with details about your vehicle, our salvage calculator will do the rest.
When and How Do I Get Paid? Can I Receive Cash?
Payment is made at the time of pickup, usually by check. Some buyers may offer cash—just ask during scheduling.
