Junk or Jackpot? How to Maximize Your Car’s Value

Junk or Jackpot? How to Maximize Your Car’s Value

Is your old car a worthless heap or a hidden goldmine? Before scrapping your vehicle for pennies, follow these expert tips to get the most value from your junk car!


1️⃣ Know What Your Car is Really Worth

🚗 Junk cars still have value! The payout depends on:
✔️ Make & Model – Some brands have high-demand parts that boost value.
✔️ Condition – A running car often sells for more than one that doesn’t.
✔️ Scrap Metal Prices – Larger vehicles with more metal fetch higher offers.

💡 Tip: Check scrap metal prices before selling to get the best deal!


2️⃣ Compare Offers From Different Junkyards

💰 Not all junkyards pay the same. Some specialize in parts, while others focus on scrap weight.

✔️ Cyrus Auto Parts offers some of the best payouts in Dayton, OH!


3️⃣ Sell Valuable Car Parts Separately

Certain components may be worth more on their own than as part of the whole car:
🔹 Catalytic Converter – Contains precious metals like platinum and rhodium.
🔹 Battery – Many auto shops buy them for recycling.
🔹 Rims & Tires – If in good condition, they can fetch extra cash.

💡 Tip: Ask the junkyard whether keeping or removing parts affects the offer.


4️⃣ Choose a Junkyard with Free Towing

🚛 Towing fees eat into your profit! Many junkyards charge for pickup, reducing your final payout.

✔️ Cyrus Auto Parts offers FREE towing within 40 miles of Dayton!


5️⃣ Have Your Paperwork Ready

📜 Most junkyards require:
✔️ Title – Proof of ownership.
✔️ Registration & ID – May be needed for legal transfer.

💡 Lost your title? Some junkyards can help with alternatives—call ahead to ask!


6️⃣ Avoid Common Selling Mistakes

⚠️ Don't make these costly errors:
❌ Selling to an unlicensed junkyard.
❌ Accepting the first offer without comparing.
❌ Not checking for hidden towing fees.

✔️ Cyrus Auto Parts is a licensed, trusted junkyard that offers transparent pricing.
