An old car that doesn’t work or a gas guzzling “boat” that you rarely use is a waste of space in your driveway or up on blocks in your yard. If you decide you want to get rid of it, there are a couple of options available. The first is to donate the car to a charitable organization, and the other is to contact a company that provides cash for junk cars. Chicago, IL has both opportunities available for people who have old or unwanted vehicles.
Even if your car doesn’t run, there is likely a charitable organization or an auto salvage lot that will take it off your hands in order to use the parts. If you donate your car to charity, of course, you will not make any money and the charity will most likely contract with a salvage yard that gives cash for junk cars in Chicago, IL instead. In turn, the salvage company resells the parts to consumers and to car mechanics at cheaper prices.
Many people opt to make some cash for junk cars in Chicago, IL by selling it to a salvage yard. The process for doing so is fairly easy, even if your junk car isn’t working. In most cases, all one needs to do is make a phone call and the company will send a tow truck to pick up your vehicle at no cost to you. Often if you do not have the title or the keys, arrangements can still be made to have the car picked up, and you will still be paid cash.
How much you get for your junk car may depend more or less on the quality of what you are selling and the company with which you are dealing. Some may have a flat amount of money they are willing to pay in order to take a non-running car off your hands. Others may offers cash on a scale depending on what still works and can be resold. Many companies offer payment based on weight.
Whether you have an old car that doesn’t run and would be glad to get rid of it at no cost to you by giving it to your favorite charity, or want to make some extra cash by selling it to a salvage yard, calling to have your car towed away presents absolutely no risk to you. You can get rid of your unwanted vehicle for free, and in most situations make a few extra bucks in the process.
