TOP 5 TIPS:  HOW TO TELL WHEN IT'S TIME TO SELL YOUR USED CAR AS A JUNK CAR 

Knowing whether or not it’s time to sell you car can be tough. Should you hold on to your used car and repair it; or is it time find places that buys junk cars to sell your junk car it for cash? Pull-A-Part is here to give you the top five reasons you need to sell your used car as a junk car.

1. SELL YOUR CAR WHEN YOUR HEATER'S BROKEN

If you're using a wood-burning stove to keep warm, you might want to call Pull-A-Part. Pascal Prokop of Switzerland once added one to his 1990 Volvo 240 station wagon. No one knows what made him wake up one day and say "I really need to take the chill out of the old Volvo, think I'll install a wood-burning stove in the passenger's seat!” but if you're faced with a broken heater you’ll be much happier with cash in your pocket than a stove is the passenger seat.

2. IF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER'S BROKEN, IT’S TIME TO SELL YOUR CAR

An air conditioner compressor costs big bucks -- and you'd really hate to waste $600-$800 on an old clunker that you might end up selling to a salvage yard anyway. But this rig isn't cool. What kind of ticket do you think you'd get if a cop decided to take a closer look at that Frigidaire hanging out the back window?

3. IT’S TIME TO SELL WHEN YOU HAVE BUSTED GLASS

Whether it’s your mirrors, windows, windshield or lights, replacing broken glass on your car doesn’t come cheap. If you have a significant amount of broken glass on your car the cost to replace everything will start to add up fast. Maybe a broken rear-view mirror alone isn't enough to call Pull-A-Part for a free tow and some cash, but you'd probably agree the CDs belong on the inside of the car, so if you find yourself using a CD as a mirror, it’s time to call Pull-A-Part.

4. LET GO OF YOUR JUNK CAR IF THERE'S A LOT OF RANDOM REPAIRS AND STUFF GLUED TO YOUR CAR

It’s never a good idea to fix a broken car with glue, and you could be doing more damage than good with this approach. If you find yourself gluing anything on your vehicle, it might be time to sell. You're probably looking at an "obstructed view" ticket if you tried to drive this bad boy down the road. Let's face it: making an art car is the last step before selling it to a junkyard. But when you do, please remove the plant, antlers and flags.

5. SELL YOUR JUNK CAR IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE RUST PROBLEM
