San Rafael - it’s simple to sell your junk car.  We pay fast cash for junk cars

Over the past months and years, you’ve spent dollar after dollar trying to repair your junk car. Now, it would be one thing if your vehicle were finally fully restored and back in good running condition. But, that’s far from the case. Instead, your junk car still looks like it’s about to fall apart. Plus, it’s breaking down as often as ever. In fact, sometimes it seems like the more money you put into fixing it, the worse it runs! You’re at your wit’s end, and you’ve decided it’s time to just get rid of it once and for all.

The thing is, every vehicle is going to need the occasional repair. That’s completely normal. But when the repairs start to really pile up and sap your bank account, that’s when you have to draw a line in the sand. If you’re ready to sell your junk car here in San Rafael, the easiest way to get the most cash for it is to call Rusty’s Auto Salvage. 

We always pay cash for junk cars, which means you won’t have to worry about dealing with a check. Plus, we can offer you payment regardless of what condition your junk car is in. That’s because we’re an auto recycling company, meaning we plan on turning your car into scrap. So, even a wrecked vehicle is worth plenty of cash to Rusty’s! Call us at 866-439-4401 to get an instant quote for your vehicle.

How large of a tax refund will I get if I donate my junk car?

The size of your tax refund, and whether you're even eligible for one is determined by your income and other factors that only an accountant will be able to figure out. If you want a tax refund, just give your accountant a call, explain the situation, and then relay that info to us when you choose to donate. We'll make sure that you fill out the correct car donation papers.

How to sell my car with a smashed windshield?

Smashed windows do not alway reduce the value of your junk car. If your car is in bad condition it may end up being sold for scrap metal, in which case, the broken window will not impact the value of your vehicle. If we can find a buyer to take your car and recondition it, a new windshield is often figured into the recondition plan. Call our agents and describe the glass issue and we can get you a great price on your car.

Do you buy junk cars from anyone?

We'll buy junk cars from anyone who owns one. As long as you're honest about the state of your junk car, we'll be able to offer you a quick premium quote in no time. Call us now to let us know you want to discover the true value of your old, rusted, falling apart car! We'll ask you a few questions and you'll be on your way to a sale.

How do I sell a totalled junk car?

It's easy to sell a totalled car to us. Since we recycle junk vehicles, the fact that your car's smashed up doesn't have a huge affect on how much we're able to offer. What matters more to us is the weight, make, and model of your junk car. These factors will tell us a little bit about the metals in your car, and are much more important when it comes to determining the junk vehicle's value.

Will you buy my junk car if the motor has siezed?

Your junk car could be missing a motor and we'd still offer a huge amount of cash for it! Sure, the absence of a motor or the fact that it's seized may affect the price that you'll be able to get, but all junk cars are valuable to us. If your car is 15 or 20 years old, we're probably more interested in the metals anyway!

Does car donation automatically mean I'd get a tax deduction?

An in kind donation is defined as taking a tax deduction for a donated car. Take into consideration that the IRS has special rules when it comes to non-cash donations. You need to itemize your taxes to take a deduction and you need to have the documents that show the true value of your clunker. You may need an accountant if you plan on taking a tax deduction.
