where to check out junk cars

Since we usually own our cars for such a long time, it’s easy to store things in them that we forget about. But once it’s time to sell your junk car, you need to always remove your personal belongings from the inside. To ensure that your belongings aren’t left behind in your car after you sell it, identify some common places in your car where personal items might be stored.



trunk

While it may not seem like a big deal, it’s easy for many people to forget about the trunk. However, since the trunk’s primary purpose is to store items, this should be the first place you check. Items such as emergency necessities, blankets, or forgotten disposable items often find their way back here, so a thorough trunk inspection is often necessary before the junk car buyer arrives.

Also, the spare tire may be hidden under the trunk, so if you can lift the trunk floor, do so. Items long forgotten about may still be there.

Central console

The center console may seem like just a good place to rest your arms while driving, but it often provides space for items like glasses, tissues, cords, chargers, or flashlights. So before handing over your car, always open it and remove everything inside.

Side pockets

The side pockets are a great place to store old receipts, water bottles, and snacks. So be sure to go through them carefully. That way, you can make sure you don’t miss that forgotten fruit snack or fast food receipt from years ago.

Under the seat

Seats are often the most forgotten storage space. Water bottles, fast food cups, and age-old snacks may be stored there, only to be discovered years later. However, when giving your car to a junk car buyer, be sure to thoroughly check under all seats. If possible, use a flashlight to check all nooks and crannies, and push the seats forward and backward to make sure you haven’t missed anything.

Additionally, many cars have a hidden storage space in the back seat that you can find by flipping the back seat up. Long ago, you may have stored tools, winter essentials, or blankets in this space. So be sure to remove these items when necessary.

Glove box

One place you probably won’t forget is your glove box. However, it’s always worth double-checking because it’s often home to valuables like your car’s title and registration, or personal items like CDs. Make sure to pick out any personal items from the necessary documents you’ll need to hand over to your junk car buyer, such as your registration.

Dashboard storage space

The dashboard can be equipped with one or more storage spaces. However, you may forget about these storage spaces, especially if you don’t use them often. Still, it’s important to carefully check these storage spaces to see if there are any forgotten items you may have stored there.

Sun hat

Sun hats may seem like a useful tool for keeping out the sun, but people sometimes place important documents on top of them. Flip your sun hat down to make sure you don’t forget any important documents.

Cup holder

You probably have one or more cup holders, but these storage spaces can hold everything from old cups or lids to forgotten trash or dirt. While you may not have anything important or valuable in your cup holders, it’s still important to remove anything that could contain information about you.

rearview mirror

A rearview mirror is more than just an adjustment tool that allows you to see oncoming traffic. People often like to hang dice, car air fresheners, or disabled placards on their rearview mirrors. However, since you may have become accustomed to hanging your item there, you may forget about it. Be sure to check this mirror frequently to avoid forgetting precious or necessary personal items.

No matter which warehouse your car is stored in, be sure to inspect it thoroughly so that you can sell your junk car with confidence. Cash for car Offering you same-day cash and free vehicle pickup, we look forward to buying your vehicle!
