Fill in a short form with the year, make and model, whether it runs, the title and how fast you want it gone, which sets how long buyers have to bid. Add photos, the mileage and the VIN if you can, because buyers who can see the car bid a price they can stand by. There is no phone call to make and nobody to wait on hold for.
Buyers around Memphis who take cars from your ZIP bid on your board, each bid with the earliest time they can pick up. Your board shows the three who can come soonest beside the three who will pay the most, each bid shows the buyer's name and town, and you can message any of them through our site.
Take the bid 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.
Each buyer gets one bid, and it never goes down. If a buyer tries to pay less at pickup you can say no, and after pickup we check that you were paid the full amount.

Call centers, listings named after search words and businesses that don't buy cars were left out.
We researched the businesses that buy junk cars around Memphis, read what their customers say about them, and kept the 5 with the strongest track record: real local buyers who actually buy cars and treat sellers well. Call centers, listings named after search keywords and businesses that don't really buy cars were left out.
Enter your ZIP and tell us about the car once. Buyers who cover your ZIP bid cash on your board. You compare price and reputation, take your pick, and book the pickup. You never have to give a buyer your number.
The five are four junk car buyers and a salvage and used parts yard, based in two towns around the city. Each buyer sees your photos and answers, then decides whether to bid and how much.
Most Memphis buyers pick up across the whole area, so try another town.
Star ratings come from public online reviews and are shown for reference, and the write-ups are our own. How we choose buyers.
You can list a junk vehicle in any condition. It can be a car that still runs or one that has not started in years, an old truck or van, a car with parts missing, one that was in an accident, or one your insurance company totaled. The buyers who cover your ZIP see your photos and answers, and each one decides whether to bid. Some buy almost any junk car and some pass on cars they don't want, which is why it helps to hear from several at once.
Most buyers start from the same sum. A scrap buyer looks mostly at the metal: what the car weighs, times what a scrap yard pays per ton that week. A salvage yard can add what it will sell from the car, like the engine, the transmission, the catalytic converter, body panels and wheels. Each buyer then takes off what it costs to send a truck and tow the car back, and keeps a margin for the work. That is why offers on one car can be far apart, and why photos help: a buyer who can see the car does not have to guess. Our guide to what a junk car is worth goes through each part of the sum.
Most junk cars are recycled. The yard that ends up with the car usually drains its fluids, pulls the parts it can sell and crushes what is left, which is sold for recycling as steel and other metals. A tow company that buys cars usually passes them on to a yard that does this work.
To get cash for your junk car in Memphis, enter your ZIP code at the top of this page and describe the car. Bids from the buyers who cover your ZIP come to your board, and you take the one that suits you.
Tell us about the car once and buyers bid on your board. We text you when a new top bid comes in, and nobody gets your number.
Every buyer here passed our screening, so you can weigh each price against the buyer's reputation and message anyone before you decide.
Towing is part of every bid, and the buyer pays you when they collect the car. Say no to anyone who tries to add a fee.
Tennessee rules
Checked October 2026 against the official sources below. Rules change, so if anything here does not match your situation, the Tennessee Department of Revenue has the final word.
Lost the title? Selling a junk car without a title, state by state.
Every screened buyer in the state: junk car buyers in Tennessee.
Every bid says the earliest time that buyer can come, and your board shows the fastest pickup near the top, so the quickest Memphis buyers are easy to spot. If you choose ASAP, bids close in an hour (at 10 AM when you list after 2 PM or before 8 AM) and 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.
We don't list their phone numbers. Enter your ZIP and the buyers who cover it bid on your board, 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.
Tennessee plates follow you, not the car. Your county clerk can move them to another vehicle for a $1 fee. Every rule, with its official source, is listed above under "What you need to sell a junk car in Tennessee". If you can't find the title, say so on the form and message buyers before you take a bid, because some can still take the car.
Tell us about your car, your ZIP code and how fast you want it gone, which sets how long buyers have to bid. Screened local junk car buyers bid cash on it, and each bid says the earliest time that buyer can pick up. Your board shows the top bid and the fastest pickup up front, and you take the bid you want.
You choose when you list. ASAP gives buyers 1 hour, and By tomorrow closes bids at 10 AM the next day, where your car is. ASAP is there until 2 PM, and an ASAP car listed before 8 AM takes bids until 10 AM, so buyers are up to see it. A clock on your board counts down, you can take a bid at any time, and your bids still stand for a day after bidding closes.
Top is the biggest bid on your car. Fastest is the buyer who can pick it up soonest. Best of both marks a bid that is among the three biggest and the three soonest at once. They only point things out, so you can still take any bid you like.
No, but the more you add, the more accurate your bids. 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 bid 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.
Yes. It costs you nothing to get bids or sell. Buyers pay us a fee only when they win your car, and it is on top of their bid, never taken out of it.
No. Bids arrive on your board and we text you when they do. Buyers never get your phone number, not even the one you choose: calls go through our number.
Often, yes. Many buyers accept cars without a title if you can show ID and proof of ownership. Rules vary by state, and the bids may be lower.
You can say no. The bid you took is the price. Tell us on your board and we will step in.
It may not have met our bar, which is a rating of 4.0 stars or better, 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.
Buyers who bid 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.
Let local buyers battle for it. It's free, and your phone number stays private.
