As a resident of Long Island, you shouldn’t be too weirded out by odd neighbors. Differences in cultures are what gives vibrance to life here in Long Island, NY, and we dare say you’ve come to love your oddball neighbors. That’s who we at CashforCars are too, your oddball neighbors who’ve devoted their lives to buying junk cars for cash in Long Island.
But we’re not annoying neighbors like Jerry from next door, who always lets his dog poop on your lawn (F*** you, Jerry). We’re helpful neighbors who’ll help you FINALLY get rid of that ancient car that’s been sitting in your driveway all this time.
And yeah, we know how much that rusty old clunker probably means to you. Maybe you have fond memories of going out with friends to Long Beach. Perhaps you took your wife for your first date to the Old Westbury Gardens in this same car too. Or maybe it was just your companion as you drove into work every day through the Steinway Tunnel.
Those were indeed great times, but like the ever-evolving city around you, it’s time to move on and leave your junk car behind. But hey, look at the bright side, at least you can get a very reasonable price for your junk car when you sell it to us for cash. We won’t tell you what to do with the money, but you should at least consider buying a Cheesesteak Sandwich at Sid’s All-American to celebrate the sale.
Selling your car for cash at the cultural center of New York
The city of New York has been touted time and time again as THE melting pot of cultures globally and for a good reason. And while each borough brings its flavor to the pot, no neighborhood in the giant metropolis is as unique as Long Island.
Sure, Manhattan will always remain the unchallenged business center of the city. Still, it’s the people who make the city what it is, and with nearly 40% of New York’s population concentrated on this one island, we’d say Long Island deserves a lot of credit.
But with so many people on just one island, how do you know who to trust? You’d want to sell your junk car for cash, but you’d also not want to be swindled by the guy you’re selling it to. Luckily for you, that’s where we come in. We make it our business to be the best junk car buyers in Long Island, NY, and customer satisfaction is our middle name (Just kidding, not really. But you get the idea).
Why we’re your best option when selling your old car for cash in Long Island
Long Island is a big place, with plenty of people doing all kinds of business, day in and day out. And, of course, we’re not the only people who’re willing to take your junk car off your hands for a cash payment. So, what makes us better than the rest?
Well, for one, we’re wholly committed to treating our customers with as integrity as possible. Having worked in this business for so long, we’re well aware of some buyers’ disagreeable tactics, especially junkyard owners. In particular, these people often make a huge fuss when it’s time to pay a client for their junk car. They’ll negotiate a fair price for your vehicle over the phone, giving you all the assurances you need to strike a deal with them, but go back on their offer when they come round to pick up your car.
We never do that with our customers. To us, our word is our sacred bond with you, and once we’ve agreed on a price, we NEVER try to cheat you out of it. And we work online too, so there’s no need to drive out to our office just to figure out if selling your car to us would be worth it.
Besides that, our prices are arguably the fairest you’d find in town. We know no two cars are ever worth the same, and if your car is more valuable than others, we’ll be sure to compensate you for it properly.
But what about other online platforms like Craigslist, you might ask. Our prices might be fair, but they won’t necessarily be the best; someone online might offer a better price for your old car. Why not go for this option instead?
Well, you could try, but here’s a couple of reasons why it won’t be worth your time. Even in the densely populated neighborhoods of Long Island, the chances you’d find someone willing to pay a lot of money for your junk car are very slim. And there’s no guarantee you’d find them right away. It might take days, weeks, or even months till the right buyer comes along… IF they come along, that is.
And besides, you’d still have to handle the entire process yourself—no guidance on what papers to have ready, no streamlined process to get the whole job done. You might even have to pay for towing (which we do for FREE), and that can seriously cut into the money you’ll earn from selling your junk car for cash.
…See, what we mean?
Ok, down to business… how do you actually sell your junk car on Long Island
Unlike the recipe for Long Island Iced tea, our process for buying junk cars is fairly straightforward and won’t leave you with a headache in the morning either. It comes down to 3 simple steps:
1 - Figure out what kind of junk car you have
The first thing you need to do is note down all the relevant details about your car. In particular, you need to know its make and model, the condition it’s in, and whether you still have the title. Not having the title can be a little troublesome, but if you’re looking to sell a junk car with no title in Long Island, we might still be able to help with that. We can’t guarantee it, but we’ll do our best to help you.
2 - Input the details into our system to get an instant quote
Once you’ve got all the details figured out, simply input them on our website to get an instant quote on your junk car. That’s right, no lengthy waits, no “we’ll be in touch with you in a couple of days”, none of that baloney. We know your time is precious, so we do our best not to waste it. Our system will always return a fair price in just a couple of seconds, that you can choose to accept or reject as you please.
If you’d instead not use our online system, feel free to give us a call. Our representative will happily take down your details and get you an instant quote based on your description.
3 - Schedule your delivery and get paid!
If you choose to accept our offer, you’ll be asked to schedule a time for delivery with one of our Long Island drivers. You’ll also have to leave us details on who to call, what your Long Island address is, and what times you’ll be available for pickup. After that, you can just sit back and enjoy the sun till our Long Island driver comes over in a tow truck with your payment in hand.
How much cash can I get for my Long Island junk car?
By now, we’ve hopefully convinced you how we’re a convenient and reliable Long Island service to sell your junk car to. But how much exactly could you make by selling your junk car? Are you always guaranteed a fixed amount, or does it vary from car to car, model to model?
In reality, there are only 3 things that affect how much you can get for selling your junk car in Long Island:
- What car is it? Is it really junk?
- What condition is it in?
- Do you have the title?
The car’s make and model are the biggest factors when determining the price of an old car. Newer cars tend to have more reusable parts, so a 2013 Toyota Corolla will always be worth more than a Dodge Intrepid from the 90s. A car’s total junk if there are almost no parts that can be harvested from it, in which case it’s usually just sold as scrap metal.
If your car is absolute junk, you can still get paid around $50-$200 for it, depending on the weight. However, if it’s even slightly usable or has a few good parts in it that can be recycled, the price is significantly higher, usually around $500.
But all of that is only if your car isn’t in running condition or if you don’t have the title. Both these things add a lot to the value since the car can now be sold as a used. And while we specialize in junk cars, we’d be more than happy to buy your old working car and will compensate you accordingly.
If you have a decent model in working condition with the title in hand, your car may even be worth upwards of $12,000! So be sure to input all the correct details so we can give you the best quote possible.
But don’t be discouraged if your car’s pretty banged up from an accident or if you don’t have your car title. We might still be able to do something for you. Each case is different after all, so do your best to explain it to us, and hopefully, we’ll be able to figure something out for you.
Oh, and did we mention? Towing is always FREE
Picture this. You finally find a buyer for your old junk car in Long Island after looking around for so long. The payment isn’t huge, but it’s pretty substantial. Now, imagine if you had to pay almost the same amount of money just to tow your car off your property to his place. Ironic, isn’t it?
We don’t want you to go through this. We know how much towing a car can cost you, so in the interest of keeping our clients satisfied, towing is always on us. That way, you don’t feel swindled out of your money and can use it for something you want, like maybe a quick getaway to the Hamptons.
When you schedule a pickup with any of our Long Island drivers, they’ll tell you when they can come and pick up the car. Since each driver manages his schedule himself, we can’t tell you exactly when he’ll come, but you can always negotiate a time and date that suits you. You may even be able to schedule the pickup on the same day.
Regardless, when you sell your junk car to CashforCars in Long Island, pickup is always free. Our driver will come to your house, hand you the check or cash amount, and just tow away the car. No hassle whatsoever.
