Junk Car Buyer Scams Happen Everyday Scams Junk Car Buyers Do!
I wanted to make a quick post about the most recent Junk Car Buyer scams going around in the junk car industry. As I learn about these things, I try to post them.
Recently I have been getting a lot of reports about two things. The first is calling other car-salvage companies and getting very high quotes for their vehicle only to find out that the quote is not accurate. . The second, is receiving a junk car quote that is not what they expected and they feel like they spent their time and lost money. I want to make sure that you are getting an accurate quote before you decide to purchase a sell salvage car. There are a lot of factors in determining the fair market value of your vehicle including condition, mileage, damage, and model year.
Here is How the Junk Car Buyer Scams Work
You call the company to get a quote; the company is located everywhere. They then send you an envelope and request you to send them the title to your vehicle. After they receive the title, they have a towing company pick up your junk or old car. They then do a condition report on your car and go down on the price that they quoted you. If you don’t like their new quote, then they expect you to have your vehicle towed back
along with paying the original tow bill from the first tow company. What if you don’t have a title to your vehicle? Simply call the tow company and ask them what they need as proof of ownership.
I can’t believe that this has been going on without any criminal charges being brought against these companies. Wrong to do, and it is having a horrible impact on the junk industry. We Houston Junk Car Buyer will never participate nor be any part of this tactic. In our opinion, this is a fraud!
-
Another scam is the “Vacation Voucher.” What happens if you call a company, and they give you a cheap quote on your junk car or truck? Then they will tell you that it includes a free vacation for up to four people.
-
When the company comes out to pick up your vehicle, they do not have the vacation vouchers with them. They tell you that they will mail coupons to you. Of course, you never receive the vouchers in the mail.
-
A method junk car buyers often do is give you half the cash payment and tell you they have to inspect the scrap car in the yard. You never get your money.
-
This is a fraud any way you put it and take advantage of unknowing customers. This practice is wrong and will ultimately give all junk buyers a lousy reputation.
