Got my offer online, tow truck showed up the next day, walked away with cash. That simple.

I tried two other sites first and both gave me the runaround. Clunqr gave me a real number, showed up on time, and paid exactly what was quoted.

My car wouldn't even start and had no title. They still bought it, towed it for free, and handed me $350 cash.

New York rules

Selling a junk car in Rochester: what to know

Proof of ownership. Your title in your name plus a photo ID, or current registration with a photo ID.
Plates stay with you. In New York the plates belong to you, not the vehicle. Remove them before pickup.
No title? Request a duplicate from the New York DMV, or sell with current registration. We also buy salvage and rebuilt titles.
After the sale. File a release of liability with the New York DMV so the vehicle is off your record.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I get my car picked up in Rochester?
Most Rochester pickups happen same-day or next business day. Upstate Auto Recyclers runs their own fleet of tow trucks, so they don't rely on third-party schedulers.
Do I need a title to sell my junk car in New York?
Not always. New York allows sale of junk vehicles without a title if you have a valid photo ID and current registration. Your Clunqr buyer handles all the DMV paperwork.
