Questions and answers
Plain answers about selling or scrapping a car through this site.
Tell us about your car
Two short steps. No obligation to sell.
- 1. Your car
- 2. How to reach you
What happens after I send the form?
We look at the details and pass suitable requests to a local buyer in the Thunder Bay area. The buyer can then talk with you about an offer and pickup. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to sell?
No. Sending the form does not book a tow or commit you to sell, and there is no obligation to accept an offer.
How much will I get for my car?
We do not publish prices or promise an amount. Any offer comes from the buyer once they understand the car. Before you agree, confirm the amount and whether towing or a hard-to-reach car changes it.
Is towing free? How fast is pickup?
We do not promise free towing or a fixed pickup time. Agree both with the buyer before you say yes.
Does the car need to run?
No. Choose "No, it does not run" in the form and tell the buyer where the car is sitting. Cars that don't run
What paperwork do I need?
Have your ownership information ready, and tell the buyer if the registration, keys or other papers are missing. In Ontario you keep your licence plates; they stay with the owner, not the car. More on paperwork
Will you text or email me?
The form has one box for text messages and one for email. Both start unticked and both are optional. You can reply STOP to any text from thunderbaycars.ca. See the exact wording.
Who sees my details?
thunderbaycars.ca and the local buyer we pass your request to. Service providers that host the site and deliver messages also handle it. Privacy
Can I send photos?
Yes, up to six, in step one of the form. They are optional, but they help a buyer understand the car.
Why recycle an old car?
Recycling removes fluids and hazardous parts safely, lets working parts be reused, and turns the metal into new steel. How car recycling works
