Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to keep sinking new money into your old car for repairs and maintenance. Sometimes you’re just ready for an upgrade, or you don’t want to look at that rusty old clunker anymore.
Regardless of the reason, CarBrain will help you get rid of your car by giving you the best offer for the fair market value of your car. It doesn’t matter what condition your car is in, whether it has extreme high mileage, whether it’s suffered a wreck or been totaled, we’ll make an instant online offer for practically any vehicle in less than two minutes.
If you’re wondering how to get rid of an old car for money, you have a few viable options depending on your location …
The first place most people turn to when they want to get rid of a junk car is the local scrap yard. Unfortunately, most local junkyards are flooded with incoming cars these days, which means they’re likely to waste your time with lowball offers or pressure you into selling for a price you’re not comfortable with.
You could try a private sale on Craigslist or AutoTrader instead, but those can take weeks (sometimes even months) and involve inconvenient car showings and inviting complete strangers to your home—which isn’t always desirable.
Instead, why not sell your car online with CarBrain? Our online pricing tool will get you a guaranteed offer for the fair market value of your vehicle in 90 seconds, and each offer comes with FREE towing from your home, office, or practically anywhere in the continental United States. That means you can get rid of a car without even having to leave the comfort of home!
To donate a broken car might seem like a good way to give back to charity and get yourself a tidy tax write off—but it’s not always as simple as it seems.
First of all, you have to make sure your charity of choice is a verified 501(c)(3) organization. Then, you have to organize delivery of the car, and find out exactly what they’re going to do with it, since the value of your write-off will be dependent on whether they sell it, repair it, or continue to use it. Not all charities are equipped to handle incoming cars, and even those that are prepared for it are likely to hand you a blank receipt and leave the paperwork up to you.
Instead of donating a junk car, it’s often better—and more efficient—to simply sell your vehicle to a junk car buyer like CarBrain, then donate the cash proceeds to your charity of choice. Cash will be easier for them to handle, and easier for you to deduct at the end of the tax year.
