If you have ever tried to sell your car online, you know just how much of a headache it can turn out to be.

How much cash for junk cars do we pay in Memphis?

It’s probably no surprise that the number one question we get from customers looking to get cash for cars in Memphis is “How much is my car actually worth?”. While there is no one size fits all answer, we can give you a little insight into how we place a value on and used cars. Even if your car wouldn’t really be considered in the traditional sense, we’ll still make you a fair market offer for it!

• What is the size and weight of the car?

  For cars that will end up going to a local Memphis junk yard or salvage yard, one of the most important considerations when valuing the car is how much it weighs. As many of these cars are only worth the current price of scrap metal. A large Chevy Suburban will be worth a lot more than a small Toyota Corolla for example. Things like age or whether the car starts and drives often do not matter in this category.

• Does the car have useful parts?

  Many cars may be considered , but they are worth more than just the scrap metal and other raw materials. If the vehicle has many usable and desirable parts those will be stripped from the car and added to the junkyard's inventory. It can take years to recoup the investment from these parts, but it is often worth it to a salvage yard. Once all the usable parts have been removed, the rest of the car will likely be crushed and recycled.

• Is the car still fully operational?

  We realize our name is "The Clunker Junker", and people often think we only buy cars in Memphis, but that's actually not true! Many of the cars we buy are being driven every day and still have plenty of life left in them. Rather than send these cars to a scrap yard, we have an auto dealer license in Tennessee and can resell these vehicles at auction. What does this mean for you? It means we can pay you as much as $15,000 for used cars! We can often beat dealer trade in as well.

One thing to remember is that no matter what offer you get for your junk car from The Clunker Junker, it always included free towing and car removal. In more rural areas surrounding Memphis, this may mean that your offer will be a bit less than if you were in the heart of the city. Tow trucks can get expensive quickly the further away you get!

We are the best car buyer in Memphis, guaranteed!

We know you have a lot of options when you are trying to get cash for your car in Memphis. You could call up a local junkyard, or post the vehicle for sale on Craigslist. However, these options have their downsides. Memphis is full of flaky, unreliable, and potentially dangerous strangers who will give you the run-around when trying to sell your car. You’ll never know if they will even show up, or just waste your time. If they do show up, who knows if they want to do you harm!

Junkyards aren’t too much better. These establishments are known for having extremely poor business practices. Have you ever heard of a “bait and switch” scam? That is where an auto salvage yard will give you one price for your car on the phone, and then try and change it when they show up. When we buy your junk car in Memphis, you can be absolutely sure the amount you accept on the phone or online is the amount you’ll be paid. We stake our reputation on it!

So whether your car is a real clunker that doesn’t run and is falling apart, or still looks nice enough to be featured in the car museum at Graceland, we want to make an offer to buy it. You can get a free offer in about 60 seconds online, so what are you waiting for? It’s time to get cash for your car, so you can go enjoy some world renowned Memphis style BBQ at Charles Vergo’s Rendezvous!
