Compare your selling options honestly

Local scrap yard

A yard can be direct, but ask whether you must deliver the car and whether it values anything beyond weight. Your net amount is the yard price minus towing and your time.

National online buyer

Online convenience can help, but some sites sell the lead to another operator. Confirm who will pick up the car and whether the displayed estimate is firm.

Private sale

A repairable vehicle may bring more privately, but the process can involve listings, messages, no-shows, test drives, and arranging transport for a non-runner.

Dealer trade-in

A trade-in is convenient when buying another vehicle, but it ties the transaction to a purchase. Compare the standalone cash value separately.
