Business Is My Business

If you have a junk car that you want to sell for cash, you might be hoping that you can sell it as quickly as possible. You might be in a pinch and might need the cash payout as soon as possible, for example, or you might have recently received a letter from your HOA telling you that you need to have the junk car removed from the property by a certain date. No matter why you are in a rush to sell your junk car to one of these companies, you can follow these tips to prevent any delays.

Contact the Junk Car Company as Soon as Possible

Many companies that pay cash for junk cars will pick up vehicles from their customers pretty quickly. However, some companies do require 24 or 48 hours of lead time, and some require even more time, especially if you are going to require them to come and pick them up from your home or other location. Therefore, if you already know that you want to sell your junk car, it isn't a bad idea to contact one of these companies as soon as you can. Then, hopefully, they can get you on their schedule as soon as possible.

Gather Your Documentation

In many states and with many companies that pay cash for junk cars, you are required to have the title for the vehicle, or you might be required to turn in some other documentation or proof that you are the owner of the car and that you do have the right to sell the car. Gather up this paperwork now so that you won't have to worry about related delays on the day that someone comes to pick up your car. If someone from the company has not already told you what documentation they will need when they arrive, you may want to ask them ahead of time so that you will be prepared.

Make Sure You're Available

You will probably need to be at home on the day that you have your junk car picked up. You may need to sign paperwork and hand over the title for the vehicle, for example. Plus, you will probably want to be there to receive your cash payment. In many cases, the companies that pay cash for junk cars are pretty flexible with scheduling. This means that they should be able to work out a pickup time that works well for you.
