Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

Do you have a junk car taking up space on your property? It may be tempting just to leave it there; after all, who has time to worry about what to do with an old car after you spend the week working and running errands? Did you know you can earn cash for your old cars, though? Getting rid of it provides plenty of other benefits as well.

1. You’ll Have More Space

A car that doesn’t run is just taking up valuable space. Getting it out of your garage gives you more space for the things you truly want to store. Use the newly freed-up area to store sports equipment, add a pool table to your property, or even to add a new, working car to your list of vehicles.

2. It’s Better for the Environment

Old cars that sit in one spot are a health and safety concern. They may cause hazardous chemicals to seep into the ground and eventually make their way into the water supply. This not only poses a threat to humans but to the ecosystem as a whole. Additionally, junk cars are often used for their metal, which reduces the pollution associated with mining and manufacturing new parts.

3. You’ll Make Cash Fast

Typically, when you get cash for cars in Columbus, OH, you’ll get your money the very same day. Now, don’t expect a huge payout. In most cases, junk cars only bring in a few hundred dollars. Even so, that is enough to cover a bill or part of your rent, buy groceries, or simply have a fun night out on the town.

4. Your Yard Will Look Prettier

If your junk car is sitting on your lawn or in plain sight in your driveway, it’s likely taking away from your property value. Removing a junk car from your yard makes your lawn look nicer and prevents weeds and animals from taking refuge in and around the vehicle. This is especially important if you intend to sell your home sometime in the future.

5. You’ll Have It Hauled Away for Free

Spending money to haul away an old car can be expensive, but if you’re selling it for cash, the company you sell it to will likely haul it away for free. Depending on the company, the tow truck driver may be licensed, bonded, and insured for your peace of mind.

6. You’ll Save Money

In the state of Ohio, any car that you have on your property must have an up-to-date registration, even if it isn’t drivable. This may not seem like much money, but registration costs $30 or more per year, which adds up.

7. You Can Buy a New Car

Now that you have the space and the money for a down payment, you can buy a new car. This means finding a new daily vehicle or a project car to work on during the weekends.

Not all places that buy junk cars are created equally. Before settling on one place, call around first to ensure you find one that will haul the car away and pay you a fair amount for the vehicle.
