Selling a junk car in Gary, start to finish

Gary Cash For Junk Cars Inc is a storefront at 6600 W 9th Ave, Gary, IN 46406. You tell us the year, make, model and where the vehicle sits, and we call with an offer. If you say yes, a truck comes to the vehicle and you are paid when it is collected. There is nothing to drive in.

  1. Send the details. Two short steps on this page, or call and read them out.
  2. Get the offer. We call back, ask about the title and the condition, and give you a number.
  3. Pickup. We tow it for free, usually without you moving a thing. Same-day pickup is available.

Titles in Indiana, in plain words

Indiana wants paper on every junk car sold to a recycler. That paper is either the title (or a duplicate from the BMV) or a BMV certificate of authority. A car at least 15 model years old can be sold without a title if you hold the certificate. A car under 15 model years old needs the title: buying one with neither paper is a felony for the buyer, so we cannot take it. Tell us what you have, including a registration, and we will confirm which route fits on the call. The no-title guide has the statute citations.

What moves the number

Weight, whether the catalytic converter is still there, whether it is whole or stripped, and whether the parts are in demand. A heavy truck and a stripped compact do not price alike. See how a junk car is valued before you compare quotes.
