How selling a junk car in Buffalo works

  1. Describe the car online

    Fill in a short form with the year, make and model, whether it runs, the title and when you need it gone. Add photos, the mileage and the VIN if you can, because buyers who can see the car offer a price they can stand by. There is no phone call to make and nobody to wait on hold for.

  2. Let the buyers battle

    Buyers around Buffalo who take cars from your ZIP send offers to your own offers page, each with the earliest time they can pick up. Your page shows the three who can come soonest beside the three who will pay the most, each offer shows the buyer's name and town, and you can message any of them through our site.

  3. Pick your winner and get paid

    Choose the offer that suits you, whether that is the most cash, the soonest pickup or one near the top of both, and book that buyer's time or a later one they have open. The buyer tows the car for free and pays you the full amount when they collect it.

Buffalo's 8 screened junk car buyers

8 buyers

Wilbert's U-Pull It of Buffalo

4.6 Elma
Chain location

Wilbert's runs a big pull-your-own-parts yard in Elma, and it buys whole cars too. Recent sellers set up a pickup on the website and had a truck haul off a car that had been sitting in the driveway. Most reviews come from people pulling parts, and a few of those grumble about core charges, but the car sellers felt the price was fair.

Route 20 Auto Parts Inc

4.6 Angola

Out on Route 20 in Angola, this small family yard has bought junk and totaled cars from people in southern Erie County. Past sellers say the owner kept it simple and paid a fair amount, and one had an old car picked up from home. Most reviews are about used parts rather than selling a car, and many are several years old.

Buffalo Auto Wrecking Inc

4.4 Buffalo

This wrecking yard in North Buffalo mostly sells used parts, but it has bought junk cars too. Sellers over the years got a price up front and had a tow truck at the door within the hour, and a recent one said junking a car there went smoothly. Car-selling reviews are few and mostly older, and some recent parts buyers were unhappy.

Instant Cash for Junk Cars

5.0 North Tonawanda

This North Tonawanda buyer often shows up the same day, sometimes within an hour of a seller getting in touch. Sellers had Hondas, a Durango and cars with a locked-up wheel hauled away, with cash paid on the spot and offers that often topped other quotes. One seller felt lowballed on a clean SUV that still ran, so its offers suit junk better than good used cars.

Junk My Car Buffalo

5.0 Buffalo

Junk My Car Buffalo is a small cash buyer that covers the city and the Southtowns. Recent sellers in South Buffalo, Lovejoy, Hamburg and North Collins had a dead car, an old Pilot or a beat-up Trailblazer picked up within a day, with cash handed over at the curb. Nearly all its reviews are recent, so its track record is shorter than the old yards'.

Buy My Car

5.0 Lake Erie Beach

A one-man buyer based near Lake Erie Beach who will drive a long way for a car. Sellers in Dunkirk, Cheektowaga and out in Conewango Valley say he showed up, towed it for free and paid cash the same day. One had two cars sitting by a barn full of mice, and he took both without a fuss. Its review history is short.

South Buffalo Auto Parts

4.1 Buffalo

South Buffalo Auto Parts is a busy parts yard that will also come get a junk car and pay cash on the spot. Past sellers had trucks and cars hauled from home, and one sold a car that had no title. Most of the reviews are about parts and are several years old, and the parts side gets mixed marks for slow callbacks.

Skyway Auto Parts Inc

4.0 Buffalo

Skyway has been buying junk cars on Buffalo's south side for decades, and several sellers say it beat other quotes. People had a broken car towed the next day with cash in hand, and one sold three junkers there for a good sum. Reviews are mixed, though. A recent seller got about a fifth less than the quote once the car was on the lot.

You might be wondering

How fast can a Buffalo buyer pick up my car?

Every offer says the earliest time that buyer can come, and your offers page shows the fastest pickup near the top, so the quickest Buffalo buyers are easy to spot. If you tell us you need it gone today, the list starts with the soonest pickups. You book the buyer's time or a later one they have open, up to a week ahead, so you can pick the time that suits you.

Can I call the Buffalo buyers listed here?

We don't list their phone numbers. Enter your ZIP and the buyers who cover it send offers to your offers page, so you compare prices side by side instead of calling yard after yard. Once you pick one, calls go through our number, so neither side's number is handed out.

What do I need to sell a junk car in New York?

Take your plates and windshield registration sticker off before the sale. Unless you move the plates to another car, turn them in to the New York DMV. Turn in your plates before you cancel your insurance. If you do not, the New York DMV will suspend your registration and can suspend your license. A New York title does not need to be notarized when you sign it over to the buyer. You sign the transfer section on the back of the title and a bill of sale, form MV-912. Lost the title? If your car is at least eight model years old and worth $1,250 or less, you can sell it to a DMV-registered dismantler using form MV-35. If you can't find the title, say so on the form and message buyers before you choose, because some can still take the car.

How does BeaterBoss work?

Tell us about your car, your ZIP code and when you need it gone. Screened local junk car buyers send cash offers, and each one says the earliest time that buyer can pick up. Your offers page shows the top offer and the fastest pickup up front, and you pick the buyer you want.

What do Top, Fastest and Best of both mean?

Top is the biggest offer on your car. Fastest is the buyer who can pick it up soonest. Best of both marks an offer that is among the three biggest and the three soonest at once. They only point things out, so you can still choose any offer you like.

Do I need photos, the mileage or the VIN?

No, but the more you add, the more accurate your offers. Buyers price a car from what they can see, so photos of the front, the back, the dashboard showing the mileage (with the engine running, if it runs), the inside, any damage and the VIN plate let them offer a price they can stand by when they arrive. The VIN is on the dashboard by the windshield, or on the driver's door frame. Please don't add a photo of the title: it shows your address.

Is it free for sellers?

Yes. It costs you nothing to get offers or sell. Buyers pay us a fee only when they win your car, and it is on top of their offer, never taken out of it.

Will I get a lot of phone calls?

No. Offers arrive on your own offers page and we text you when they do. Buyers never get your phone number, not even the one you choose: calls go through our number.

Can I sell my car without a title?

Often, yes. Many buyers accept cars without a title if you can show ID and proof of ownership. Rules vary by state, and the offer may be lower.

What if the buyer lowers the price at pickup?

You can say no. The offer you accepted is the price. Tell us on your offers page and we will step in.

Why isn't a Buffalo business I found on Google listed?

It may not have met our bar, which is a 4.0 or better Google rating, usually from at least 10 reviews, and signs that the business actually buys vehicles. We also leave out call centers and listings named after search keywords.

Why are some buyers shown first?

Buyers who make offers through BeaterBoss are shown first, because you can get their price here without a phone call. They pay us a fee only when you pick them and they pick up the car; you never pay anything. Everyone else is shown in a different order on every visit, so no one is stuck at the top or the bottom.
