How do I Buy Junk Cars in Kennesaw, Georgia?

Automobiles that have been involved in accidents or have several non-working parts, such as an engine or transmission, are sometimes considered junked cars. Purchasing a junked automobile from a previous owner or junk yard requires a thorough knowledge of the cars' valuation to avoid buying a car that is worthless and considered less than junk.

Instructions

1

Look in your local newspaper for consumers seeking to sell their cars for "parts" or at least looking to sell a car that doesn't run or has severe engine problems. This method likely will net you a junk car which is less expensive to purchase than buying from a regular junk yard as there are no storage fees factored into the final selling price. Local newspapers such as the "Bright Side Newspaper," "Marietta Daily Journal" and "Atlanta Journal & Constitution" offer a classified's section where users can list automobiles for sale in the Kennesaw, Georgia area.

2

Call the junk yards in Kennesaw that allow automobiles to be purchased as well as sold and inquire about the specific procedure to purchase from their establishment. Businesses such as Marietta Auto Salvage (see Resource 1) and Marietta Towing (see Resource 2) allow buyers to purchase junk cars off the lot or during junk car auctions and also provide towing services to the desired location for a nominal fee (fee depends on final destination).

3

Review online classified websites such as Auto Trader to search for junk cars that may not have much value to the owner, but are highly lucrative once used for parts or completely restored to a drivable condition. These type of websites require a registration of at least a name, address and form of payment before a purchase can be made.

4

Secure the title before actually taking possession of the junked vehicle. Most cars are sold for parts only; however, regardless of the car's final outcome, the title is necessary to prove ownership even if it is eventually sold again for parts only.
