Moving Soon? Here’s Why You Should Leave That Old Junker Behind

You've done all the hard work and are ready to finish the job. With moving day fast approaching, you’re now faced with the question of what to do with that old car sitting in your yard.


Moving is a great opportunity to evaluate what items you truly need and what’s just clutter. Moving a junker is a debate. We understand that dealing with an old car, especially if it's no longer running, can be a real hassle. It's no wonder you’ve left this task to the last minute.


Is It Worth Keeping Your Junk Car?

You’ll need to weigh the costs of keeping the car against the expense of getting rid of it. If the car is non-operational, towing it can cost at least a few hundred dollars, in addition to the standard towing fee, to have it removed and taken to the junkyard.


Consider the potential repair costs too. Minor repairs might run a couple of hundred dollars, but major mechanical issues could cost thousands—often more than the car is worth. If the cost of towing or repairing the car exceeds its value, it might be time to let it go.
