How to See How Much My Junked Car Is Worth Online

If you have a junked car--whether it's old, nonworking or completely wrecked--you should be able to sell it to an auto salvage yard. Look up how much your car might be worth by searching a auto salvage yard online. Many companies offer online quotes. It may be best to search for a local company, as your car will need to be towed to the yard.
