Top Three Challenges When
Selling Your Car
Fraud Claims
In most states, as an individual selling a car to another individual, the vehicle is being sold “as-is.” Meaning the seller is not responsible for any repairs after the sale. However, this will not protect you from being accused of fraud if the buyer is unhappy with the purchase. If you make any kind of false statements that the buyer can prove were made intentionally, to make the sale, you might be on the wrong side of the law and may find yourself in court.
Non-Registration
Let’s say you find a buyer for your 2008 Taurus, they pay you in cash and you sign over the title. But, the buyer fails to follow through and properly title the car in their name. Then, a few months go by and they either abandon the car or get involved in an accident, leaving your name on the title. This may mean that you could be held legally responsible for a tow bill and a whole host of other legal troubles you don’t need.
Scammers
Unfortunately, there are untrustworthy people who prey on people who are selling their cars privately. Besides the wasted time of dealing with people who have no intention of actually purchasing your vehicle, you may encounter real scam artists. For example, a buyer who’s willing to pay full asking price and presents you with a cashiers check for the purchase. Only, a week later, your bank calls you and says the check is a worthless counterfeit.

How To Get The Most Selling Your Car
If your vehicle isn’t in good working order, and it’s going to take money to get it fixed, you must make a calculated decision whether or not the car is worth investing in. If you’ve decided that dealing with the chicanery that goes on, when attempting to sell it privately is not in your best interest then selling your vehicle to a scrap dealer is your best bet. But, for most people, negotiating with a salvage yard for top dollar is difficult. That’s because you may not be armed with the same information the scrap guys have.
Best Value for Sell Junk Cars in Chicago
At Bedford Recycling, we suggest that you get a good idea of your car’s value before you approach a scrap yard. Of course, if your car has been sitting in a barn for 20 years there may be very little wiggle room for the salvage dealer. In order for the deal to go through, both you and the scrap dealer must make a profit. So, when selling your old and dilapidated cars and trucks, always consider gathering a little more information before you decide to sign over the title.

For the most part, salvage yards are not going to tell you that your car is worth more than it is. Frankly, it’s not in their best interest to do so. In fact, many scrap dealers will come right out and lie about the value of your car. That’s why it’s a good idea to know a little about what scrap yards value when buying clunkers.
Most motorists have no clue what their junk car’s value is. And are at the mercy of the scrap yard owners and employees. If they know that your car has great value, but at the same time know that you don’t know this information, it can be a perfect storm that may culminate in you getting less than your car’s worth. But, this doesn’t have to happen to you.
Of course, you don’t need a degree in scrapology or experience working in a smelting plant to protect yourself. But, when selling, you should learn a little bit about what scrap dealers value about your junk car. There are basically four ways that a salvage yard will dispose of, (Make Money) from the vehicles they purchase. They are: Auction Sale, Car Parts, Recyclable Material, and Scrap Value.
If your vehicle is not running and you don’t have the money to invest in fixing it, you can sell it to a scrap dealer who may or may not repair it himself. This depends on if the the resale value is worth more than the recycle value. So, one way of hedging against a low-ball offer is to know what’s wrong with your car, and what it might be worth if it were repaired…prior to making contact.
