With the arrival of warmer weather, many people are inspired to undertake spring cleaning. This involves decluttering and getting rid of old or unwanted belongings. For some people, this includes their broken down junk cars. Here are just a few ways you can easily make a few bucks off of a used automobile.

Sell for Parts

One of the best and simplest ways to get junk cars off your hands is to sell them to an auto salvage center for its working parts. These companies help other car owners get replacement pieces at a discounted price. They do this by purchasing scrap cars and salvaging the pieces that are still in working order. Depending on the type of vehicle and its condition, you can get a hefty chunk of change for your transmission, used tires, and engines. Look for a company that has been in business for an extended period. This ensures you are working with a trustworthy business that will pay you an appropriate amount.

Sell for Scrap

A secondary option is to sell your vehicle for scrap metal. This is a good choice if there are very few or no working parts inside the car. The weight of the metal itself will determine how much money you receive. Thus, smaller, lighter automobiles won't grant you as much. Likewise, some cars are made using a mixture of plastic and metal. These will also fetch less money. Before you make a decision, visit an auto parts shop to see what they can offer you and compare prices.
