4 Tips for Selling a Used Car in Tucson to a Scrapyard

At SUYC, we want our customer experience to be second to none. So if you’re planning on selling a junk or used car in Tucson, here are a few tips for dealing with buyers like us:

#1 Do Your Research

Don’t just take the first offer you get. Call around and see what other buyers in your area are willing to offer. Be sure to ask about any fees, such as for towing or processing paperwork. Keep in mind that not all clunker buyers are the same. You have direct buyers, like SUYC, you have lead generators, then you have corporate giants who buy the leads and sell them back to companies like ours.

#2 Prepare Your Vehicle

You’ll want to make sure that your vehicle is ready to be sold by gathering all of your personal effects, including any paperwork you keep in the glove box, and coins you may have collected. Your vehicle is not worth any more or less to SUYC if it washed and detailed, so please don’t put any unnecessary work into cleaning ‘er.

#3 Gather the Necessary Documentation

It’s illegal to sale a vehicle that doesn’t belong to you and even more so for a company like ours to buy one without the proper paperwork. Because of this, you must have the title or bill of sale in your name and you must have a valid, state-issued ID to work with cash for cars companies.

#4 Be Honest About the Vehicle’s Issues

Tell us about the vehicle’s condition and any missing parts prior to our tow truck driver showing up to pick it up. Otherwise, if, for example, the vehicle doesn’t have certain OEM parts, it may not be worth as much and our offer may be reduced or retracted altogether. Be sure to be honest and upfront about your car so that we can make a fair market price offer for it.

About Sell Us Your Car

Sell Us Your Car is one of the largest buyers of used cars in the Tucson metro area. We want our customers to feel good about selling their vehicle to us, which is why we always make fair and honest bids to buy them. One reason we’re able to offer more than the other guys is because we see more value in your clunker than they do. Here are a few reasons why:

• We don’t just send your vehicle of to the smelter. We extract the parts that are still good and sell them on the resale market.
• Most other buyers in Tucson are either middlemen or lead generation companies, unlike SUYC who buys directly from consumers. This means that we don’t have to pay middlemen and can offer you more.
• We make offers based on current market values for certain metals. Unlike others who use an algorithm to make a tentative offer, at SUYC, you get to speak to a hooman!
• We value our customers and the business they bring to SUYC and we want to be the most trusted name when it comes to junk car buyers. We won’t lose a deal over a fair counter offer!
• We’re a local business in Tucson and we want to see our community thrive; doing what we can to contribute. This is a commitment that isn’t shared by larger, nation-wide operations who, unfortunately, may treat you more like a number than a neighbor.

In addition, our operation is designed to make the entire process of selling your car to us as easy for you as possible. Here are a few of the ways we work to get this done:

1. We provide instant quotes over the phone (during normal business hours) and quickly reply to contact form submissions.
2. We can often arrange to pick-up your car around your schedule – same-day pick-up is possible.
3. We buy junk cars for cash. You don’t have to wait on a check to clear.
4. We never charge for towing, while many of the middlemen in the business will apply a fee for pick-up.
5. SUYC handles all of the paperwork so you don’t have to stress. We provide copies of the transaction for your records and file the needed paperwork for ADOT. All you have to do is prove ownership and collect your money.

These are just a few of the things that separates Sell Us Your Car from the other guys. We’re very confident in our ability to make appealing offers, but we back it up by encouraging you to call around. As they say, we’ll keep the light on!

Please keep in mind that we buy all types of vehicles – cars, pickups, SUVs, fleet trucks, construction equipment, RVs, motorcycles, and everything in between. We don’t care if your ride’s been in a wreck, won’t start, or is missing parts. Give us a call today to see what it’s worth.

About Tucson

Pima County, Arizona

Tucson, being a little bit higher in elevation than Phoenix, is also a little bit cooler. While the average summer temperature in the Valley of the Sun is approximately 90 to 95 degrees, Tucson engines a noticeably cooler 85 to 88. This is still hot enough to increase the rate in which cars break down and components fail, including batteries, tires, air conditioning, belts, and hoses. Be sure to regularly maintain your vehicle to avoid unexpected issues and costly repairs.

Engine failures and parts breaking is just one way the heat impacts Tucson drivers. The sun itself can cause extreme heat and damage inside the car too. One way to keep the Arizona sun from damaging your vehicle and to keep cooler, is to install tint, park in the shade, and use window shades to reflect the heat when not in use. In Arizona, the law lets you have a VLT of 33 percent on front windows and 35 percent on back and side windows.

Every year Tucson goes through extreme weather patterns, commonly known as monsoon season. These storms bring haboobs, heavy rains, and wind. All of which can lead to vehicle damage. Wind regularly blows trees over and causes branches to fall. Heavy rains and dust storms reduce visibility and increase road accidents. If caught in heavy rains or dust, pull over at a safe spot and turn your lights off (to avoid other drivers mistaking your car for the road).

When it comes to registering a vehicle in Arizona, it must be done by the owner and insured to operate on our roadways. Out of state vehicles are subject to a level one inspection before they can be registered. When selling your car in Tucson, you must complete a transfer-of-title form with Arizona Department of Transportation (which can be done online).

Like its state capital counterpart, Tucson is subject to vehicle emission testing. Gas cars that are more than five years old must pass emissions every other year.

Tucson is a major city with more than half a million residents; all of which equates to traffic and plenty of it. While rush hour will congest the I-10, which runs right through the middle of Tucson, it’s not usually a snail’s pace like surface streets tend to be. In addition to the 10 freeway, state route 77 connects drivers to northern cities, the 86 takes you on a southwest route to the town of Why, and the I-19 takes you straight to Nogales.

As with any red-blooded American city, car culture is strong in Tucson. Here are a few of the most exciting clubs and meetups in town: Tucson British Car Registry, 54 Ford Club of America, Antique Automobile Club of America (Tucson), Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts, Classic Chevy Club of Tucson, and Door Slammers Car Club.

Owning an EV in Tucson is a great way to get around town. The city boasts that it has more than 400 charging stations, great for locals and those passing through. Tucson freeways also have carpool lanes that allow for alternative fuel, hybrids, and fully electric vehicles.
