A car that won’t run is a car that costs you. We’ll pay you for it and tow it away free.
The repair quote came back higher than the car is worth. We bought that car. We’re 716 Cash for Cars, a Buffalo company that buys junk cars from Cheektowaga homeowners and families. Wrecked, rusted, or just finished: you get a real cash offer.
Cheektowaga cars live in traffic. Walden Avenue, Genesee Street, Broadway, and the Kensington Expressway mean constant stop-and-go. Add potholes and a winter of road salt, and a good car goes bad quick. One call gets you a quote, a tow, and cash at pickup. You never have to find a truck or a buyer yourself.
Want the full process first? See our cash for junk cars service page.
We look at the make, model, year, and condition, then check what the market is paying for that car right now. You get one number, up front. That number is what you get paid. Nothing comes off it at pickup.
One customer had a car that wouldn’t drive. We towed it the next day and paid $350. Yours could land higher or lower, and a 2-minute call will tell you.
Tell us the year, make, model, and what's wrong. Photos are welcome, and optional.
We quote based on condition and demand. If the number doesn't work, you owe us nothing.
Often the same day or the next.
Our driver completes the sale, hands you cash, and tows the car off at no charge.
If you’ve been told yours isn’t worth anything, call us anyway. We take:
If it has wheels and a frame, we’ll most likely make you an offer.
A junk car that doesn’t move still costs you. Insurance and registration keep coming on a car you can’t drive.
It also takes up a spot you could use. If you’re parking on the street or in a shared lot, that’s a real problem. One call clears it.
We buy junk cars across Cheektowaga: Sloan, Depew, Bellevue, Maryvale, Cleveland Hill, Pine Hill, Doyle, and South Cheektowaga. Streets off Walden Avenue, Genesee Street, Broadway, Union Road, Harlem Road, and Transit Road are all in range.
We also pick up in nearby towns:

Most junkyards pay $100 to $500 for a typical junk car. Trucks, vans, SUVs, and cars with in-demand parts can bring $500 to $1,000 or more. The offer depends on the car’s weight, make, model, year, condition, and current scrap prices in Western New York. At 716 Cash for Cars, you can get a free, no-obligation quote in minutes.
It depends on your goal. Junking means selling the whole car to a buyer, which is fast and convenient, and the buyer usually handles towing and paperwork. Scrapping means selling the car for its metal weight, which can pay well for heavy vehicles but takes more time and effort. For most people in Buffalo and the 716 area, selling directly to a local car buyer is the easiest way to get paid quickly.
Sometimes, yes. A title is the best proof of ownership, but New York rules vary by the vehicle’s age and condition. Very old vehicles may not need a title, and some buyers can accept other paperwork, such as a registration and a bill of sale. The safest route is to apply for a duplicate title through the New York DMV if the car is in your name. Not sure where you stand? Call 716 Cash for Cars and we’ll tell you what you need before you sell.
Licensed auto dismantlers, salvage yards, and local car buyers may be able to take a car without a title, depending on the vehicle and your other paperwork. At 716 Cash for Cars, we review your situation, explain your options, and help you through the process. Be careful with any buyer who offers to skip all paperwork. A legitimate buyer will always want proof that the car is yours.
Yes. Family members can sell or gift a car for $1 in New York. You will still need to complete the transfer paperwork and register the car in your name. Gifts between close family members are often exempt from sales tax, but you may need to file a form with the DMV to claim that. Check the current requirements with the New York DMV before you finalize the transfer.
We look at the make, model, year, condition and current market demand. You hear the number before we send a truck.
Get that car off your street or out of your driveway this week. 716 Cash for Cars is the junk car buyer Cheektowaga drivers can count on for fair offers, free towing, and payment at pickup.
