Be Careful When You Buy a Car, It Might Be a Lemon!

As metro Atlanta's leading junk car buyer, we've seen our fair share of heart breaking stories about people being taken to the cleaners by less-than-ethical car dealerships and private sellers who were eager to unload a lemon on an unsuspecting buyer.

Since we've been buying junk cars for several years, we're never really that surprised when we hear someone's unfortunate story about how they were swindled into buying a lemon vehicle, but in each and every case we've seen, we've always felt terrible for the person who was stuck having to deal with what to do with the car once they found it wasn't the reliable vehicle they thought they were purchasing.

In the video below, one of our Atlanta junk car customers tells his story about the 1999 Chrysler Sebring that he purchased and then decided to get rid of in just a short two months time.


If you've been the victim of buying a lemon and want to recoup some of your losses, More Cash For Junk Cars Atlanta will be happy to pay you cash and tow that lemon away so you never have to see it again!

Have a Junk Car with No Title? Don't Worry!



So often in our business, we get asked by vehicle owners if they can sell junk cars in Atlanta without a title.

There are several stipulations on selling a junk car without a title in Georgia. When we buy junk cars, a title is ALWAYS preferred as proof of ownership and in vehicles that were made in 2001 or after, they're required to make the sale.

If your junk car was manufactured prior to 2001, we can buy it from you with proof of registration and identification from the owner of the vehicle, so long as the junk car is in that person's name. There are some instances where we simply can't buy the junk car from you if you do not have a title because there is a lien on your vehicle's title, or if you've title pawned your vehicle.

If your car is 2001 or newer and you have lost your vehicle's title or the title has been damaged to the point that it is illegible, you can get a replacement title from the state of Georgia fairly easily.

The process for replacing a missing title is not that time consuming, nor is it expensive. There are a few things you must provide the state of Georgia in order for them to reissue replacement title.

First you must fill out and deliver the state's MV-1 Title/Tag Application Form. You must also provide an original Lien or Security Interest Release Form from each lien or interest holder on the original vehicle title that confirms all liens have been satisfied.

Once you've provided the state these forms, you will need to then forfeit your damaged original title if you have it, and then pay an $8 fee for them to reissue you a replacement vehicle title.

At More Cash For Junk Cars Atlanta, we're committed to doing things the right way. We've helped countless junk car owners get replacement titles for their vehicles so they could sell their cars to us for cash.

If you want to sell your junk car without a title, give us a call and we'll help you get a replacement!

Junk Car Companies: What to Look for Before You Sell


Selling a junk car is a big decision for some people. That old beater could have been your first car. It might have been the car you had your first kiss in.

When it comes to our automobiles, there are a lot of memories that we associate with them. We form bonds with them. They sometimes become part of your family. Part of your identity. That's what makes selling junk cars a decision you shouldn't take lightly.

That's why before you choose who to sell your junk car to, it's important to know what to look for in a reputable junk car removal company. Below are some tips you can use to identify which junk car buyer you should work with, and those you'll want to avoid.

  • Look for a junk car buying service that has no hidden charges or fees: In most cases, you will find some companies charge unnecessary title transfer fees, towing fees and they may tack on other ridiculous fees from the initial cash offer. Don't get fooled by these scam artists. The best thing you can do is choose a reputable junk car company that doesn't slip in these ridiculous fees to reduce the amount of cash you'll receive for your junk car. Make sure you ask questions about any fees associated with the transfer prior to arranging a time for the buyer to pick your car up.
  • Find a junk car buyer with reliable and on-time towers: Unfortunately, certain junk car towing companies are not reliable with their scheduling and pickup times. A lack of clear communication between the towing drivers and the junk car company can lead to many headaches and inconveniences that you'll definitely want to avoid.
  • Choose a company that focuses on customer service: When selling junk cars, you never know what kind of problems may arise with liens or holds on your vehicle's title that could prohibit the junk car buyer from transferring your title. If something like this happens, you'll want to be sure that you're working with an experienced junk car company that's focused on providing top-notch customer service and is savvy enough to assist with all issues and other questions you might have to help you get the money for your vehicle, while working through any issues that come about.
  • Avoid companies that give you the run-around: Have you placed a call or filled out a contact form to a junk car company wanting a quotation for your junk car but haven't heard back from them. Or, maybe you've heard back but they can't commit to a time to come out to you and tow away your unwanted vehicle. This behavior should throw up a red flag for you, as this company is probably being run by amateurs who aren't that familiar with the industry and what the true value of your junk car might be. Go with someone prompt and knowledgeable and is going to give you the best deal for your junk car.

No matter what your reason for finally parting with your vehicle, make sure you're well informed and are working with a reputable company that is going to pay you the most cash possible for your vehicle.
