Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Kinds of Vehicles Do Car Buyers Serving Champaign Accept?

    Bryant Industries accepts vehicles in virtually any condition, including cars that do not run, trucks with major body damage, and vehicles that have been sitting unused for years. Older, high-mileage, and wrecked vehicles that a dealership would typically decline are also accepted. The condition of the vehicle affects the offer amount, but it does not usually determine whether Bryant will buy it.

  • Do I Need a Title to Sell My Car in Illinois?

    Yes, a clear title in your name is required to sell a vehicle in Illinois. The title shows legal ownership and allows the sale to be transferred properly. If the title is lost or not in your name, the Illinois Secretary of State can issue a duplicate or corrected title. The sell your junk car page outlines the documents to have ready before scheduling a pickup.

  • How Quickly Can I Get Paid When I Sell My Car to Bryant?

    Payment is typically made at the time of pickup. After you accept an offer, Bryant schedules a pickup time and pays you when the vehicle is collected. Timing depends on scheduling availability and whether the title and paperwork are ready, so having those documents prepared in advance helps the sale go smoothly.

  • Does Bryant Charge for Towing or Pickup?

    No, towing and vehicle removal are included as part of the sale. Bryant does not deduct towing or pickup fees from the offer, which is useful for vehicles that do not run or cannot be driven safely. Sellers do not need to arrange or pay for separate transportation to complete the sale.
