No, your car does not need to be running! Champion Junk Cars buys vehicles in all conditions, whether they start and drive, start but don't drive, or don't start at all (even if it requires a jump-start). We provide free towing, so its operational status isn't a barrier.

We pride ourselves on speed! In many cases, Champion Junk Cars can arrange for vehicle pickup and on-the-spot payment within 24 hours of you accepting our offer, sometimes even the same day in the Memphis metro area. We'll schedule a pickup time that's convenient for you.

Yes, Champion Junk Cars is committed to environmentally sound practices. After purchase, your vehicle is transported to a licensed auto salvage facility. There, all hazardous fluids are drained and disposed of correctly. Reusable parts are salvaged, and the remaining metal is crushed and recycled, reducing waste and conserving resources.

Getting a quote is quick and easy!

• Online: Visit our website and complete the "Vehicle Quote Questionnaire." You'll provide your contact info, vehicle details (year, make, model), ZIP code for pickup, and answer questions about its condition (e.g., runs/drives, title status, damage).

• Phone: Call Champion Junk Cars at [Your Phone Number]. Our team will ask you the necessary questions over the phone to generate your free, no-obligation cash offer.

Typically, you'll need:

• Vehicle Title: This is the primary document proving ownership.

• Valid Photo ID: A driver's license or other government-issued ID.

• Lien Release (if applicable): If your title shows a lien from a past loan, you'll need the official lien release document from the financial institution.

In some specific cases for older vehicles, a current or expired registration matching your ID might be acceptable if a title isn't required by the state. Please discuss your specific situation with us.

Champion Junk Cars is your trusted local car buyer in the Midsouth. We specialize in purchasing old, junk, damaged, wrecked, or simply unwanted vehicles – including cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. We offer instant cash quotes, free towing in our service areas (like Memphis, Bartlett, Southaven, West Memphis, and many more), and fast, reliable payment. Our goal is to make selling your car for cash simple and convenient.

Selling a car without a title can be tricky and depends on state regulations.

• Tennessee: Requires a title. You can get a duplicate from the County Clerk's office.

• Mississippi: Requires a title. Duplicates are available from the Department of Revenue.

• Arkansas: Requires a title. Duplicates can be obtained from the Arkansas DMV.

It's best to secure a duplicate title. However, for certain older vehicles, alternative documentation might be possible. Contact Champion Junk Cars to discuss your specific situation in Memphis or your Midsouth location.

Your offer is based on several key factors to ensure fairness:

• Vehicle Details: Year, make, and model (we reference a database like the one provided for base weights/values).

• Condition: Our "Vehicle Quote Questionnaire" helps us assess this. We consider if it runs, has a clean title, mileage, exterior/interior damage, missing parts (like the catalytic converter), inflated tires, etc.

• Weight & Scrap Value: The vehicle's weight in scrap metal is a significant component, influenced by current market prices.

• Location (ZIP Code): This affects towing logistics and local demand. Vehicles in ZIP codes not on our primary data sheet might see a deduction from the base value.

• Base Value & Adjustments: We start with a base value apply deductions based on your questionnaire answers, and then clamp the final offer between a minimum and a maximum (which can be dynamically adjusted).

Yes, we can still typically purchase and tow your vehicle. Knowing if wheels are flat or missing helps us select the best tow truck for the job, as indicated in our questionnaire

No! Champion Junk Cars offers FREE towing for every vehicle we purchase within our extensive Midsouth service area. The cash offer you accept is what you get, with no surprise towing deduction.

Yes, please! We request photos of your vehicle (front, under hood, sides, rear, interior dash/console , seats). These images help us verify the vehicle's condition and provide the most accurate cash offer possible. If you have title photos (if selected), those are helpful too.

Champion Junk Cars proudly serves a wide area across the Midsouth. This includes major cities like Memphis, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Arlington, Millington, Oakland, Somerville in West Tennessee; Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Hernando in North Mississippi; and West Memphis, Marion, Earle, Turrell in Eastern Arkansas, plus many surrounding towns. Check our "Service Areas" page or call us to confirm service in your specific ZIP code.

Champion Junk Cars cannot purchase vehicles that have an active loan or lien against them. The vehicle must be paid off, and you must be able to provide a clear title (or title with an official lien release) for us to complete the purchase.

Champion Junk Cars ensures you get your money fast. You will be paid in cash (or by check, depending on the specifics of the local towing partner and transaction) at the time we pick up your vehicle.

Yes, if the vehicle's condition and details accurately match what you provided in the questionnaire or over the phone, the offer Champion Junk Cars gives you is guaranteed. Transparency ensures a smooth transaction when we pick up your car.

While exact mileage is helpful, we understand it's not always verifiable, especially for older or non-running cars. We round to the nearest thousand, and if you can't verify it, we'll have to estimate, which may affect the offer. Just provide the best information you have.

We prefer the registered owner to be present to sign the necessary paperwork and receive payment. However, if this is not possible, please contact Champion Junk Cars in advance. We can sometimes make alternative arrangements if all documentation is in order and left with a trusted representative.

Yes, Champion Junk Cars may still be able to purchase vehicles that have been in a flood or fire, as asked in our questionnaire (Question 5.15). However, this type of damage will significantly impact the offer due to the extensive harm it causes to a vehicle's components and structural integrity.

The condition of your vehicle, including damage or missing parts (like deployed airbags, missing catalytic converter, severe rust, flood/fire damage), does influence the final offer. Our questionnaire is designed to capture these details. While these factors result in deductions from a base value, Champion Junk Cars still aims to provide a fair cash offer for your vehicle "as-is."
