What makes a junk car?

What makes a junk car?

When people find out that I am in the auto recycling industry, I get asked this question all of the time.  It is usually in a different format, something like?  I wrecked my car.  It is a 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo, what should I do?  My 1997 Toyota Camry has a bad motor, should I fix it or scrap it?  Well the answer is actually simple.  What is your car worth after it is fixed?  How much would it costs to fix it?  Knowing these two answers should give you the knowledge of whether or not that you should scrap your car or not.  Below is a picture of a 1997 Mercedes S420 that someone decided was a junk car.  You never know what someone is going to consider to be junk.

Wrecks-We meet by Accident!

Indianapolis-Wrecks-We meet by Accident!

Anyone that lived in the Indianapolis area in the 1970's, 80's or 90's has looked for either a used car part, used engine or transmission or anything else that would have come out of a junk yards has been to Wrecks north of Indianapolis in Whitestown, Indiana.  Their motto was "Wrecks-We meet by Accident!"  I always thought it was the way a professional junk yard should be ran.  It seemed like that had at least one of every junk car possible in the junk yard.  They had a knowledgeable stuff behind the counter to help you like any current New Auto Parts store would today, the only difference was that you were buying quality used auto parts.  I am not really sure what happened to Wrecks, but they have been out of business for some time.  Today I drove by there on I-65 and you can still see the sign some distance off of the road.  I took a picture though it didn't turn out very good.  Here is the picture. 

I am sorry for the lack of clarity in the picture, but kind of tells you how desolate the place is now.  I am not really sure what happened.  Maybe the increase of the price of junk cars put them out of business, or maybe it was just changing times, or maybe it was all of the Cash for Cars Indianapolis Junk car buyers.  Either way, I will always remember Wrecks.  If you have a junk car to get rid of click on the link Indianapolis Junk Cars or just give us a call at (317) 454-3202 and we will give you a free quote on what we will pay for your junk car or truck.

Ford Fairlane Convertible Junk Car

Ford Fairlane Convertible Junk Car

This is a mid 60's Ford Fairlane Convertible.  I am sure that in it's day it was one of the most beautiful cars on the road.  Now it is worn out and rusting away to a total junk car.  It is a shame when such a nice car has been let go to the point that it is nothing but a junk car.  However, we do buy them.  Give us a call at (317) 454-3202.

Indianapolis Junk Cars

Chrysler K Cars

Chrysler K Cars

One of my favorite cars of all time is the mid 80's Chrysler Lebaron Convertible or it's counterpart the Dodge 600 Convertible.  These were little boxey cars, that really made a snazzy convertible.  I have never owned one of these cars, but it is on my dream list to get me one and fix it up someday. 

Having said that, I do believe one of the ugliest automobiles every built or produced is the Chrysler K cars.  This includes the Dodge Aries, Chrysler Lebaron and the Dodge 600.  If it wasn't a convertible, it was ugly.  Now, why the rant on K cars today?  Today we actually bought a 1988 Dodge Aries.  Obviously it was a junk car and not worth anything but scrap price.  Here is where the irony comes in.  We actually got 2 more phone calls from people trying to cell there K cars today.  We probably don't buy more than 3 or 4 K cars a year, so to get 3 phone calls from folks trying to sell them makes you wonder what's up.  One of the K cars was actually a Dodge Aries Wagon.  I had forgotten that they made this car in a wagon.  Anyway, it was just a mild walk down memory lane with Dodge, Chrysler and the K car.  Remember, if that K car of yours is a junk car, call us and we will pay you cash for your junk car and tow it in for free.  Thanks for looking and call us at (317) 454-3202 if you need a quote on what we will pay for your junk car.
