How do you sell a junk car in Chicago?
- Write down the year, make, model, title status, and what runs, what's damaged and what's missing.
- Get quotes from two or three buyers, giving each one the same details.
- Ask each whether towing comes out of the offer and when you're paid.
- Pick the offer that leaves the most in your hand at pickup, and keep the car complete until then.
That's the method in how to compare junk car quotes, in four lines.
Three cars worth a closer look
Most junk cars are simple: complete, not running, done. These three need more care, because offers for them vary the most.
