Agreed on offer and failed to show for pickup twice.
Response from The Clunker JunkerAug 7, 2026
Thank you for reaching out, and we're very sorry for the missed pickup on behalf of the tower. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been. When the tower made contact with you, they requested images due to the vehicle's location they needed to confirm they could safely get a tow truck into the area without causing any damage. We're sorry for the experience you had, as this isn't what we strive for, and we wish we could have made the difficult pickup location work. Thank you

Texted me saying they "bumped my offer $75" after I accepted that offer while I was putting in my vehicles information they dropped it back down to the original offer. Bait and switch. This happened within 10 minutes and they're response was "I’m sorry. When we verified your acceptance, the pickup availability supporting $780 was no longer available, so the offer was re-priced."

I listed my son's car with them. He had died a year and half previously, so was not possible to get all the info related to his vehicle. Clunker Junker made an initial offer, then came back with a second higher offer and then with a third even higher offer. I accepted the third offer. They said a trucker driver would be in touch re pickup and would pay the agreed upon price at pickup. In reality, Clunker Junker turfs it over to a third party, who does not seem to be committed to standing by the agreed upon offer. When the driver finally showed up, after numerus delays and rescheduling, they would only provide 40% of what was offered (Agreed upon price was $495. They were only willing to offer $200, stating that the catalytic converter was an after market and not OEM. Going back and forth with the company who sent the driver and Clunker Junker, they would not honor their written offer. This outfit is a total scam. I would never use them again nor would I recommend anyone else use them. I filed a complaint with BBB, which went nowhere. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Rob, our website is extremely clear, and we are the ONLY company in our entire industry currently being transparent about this, that if the catalytic converter is missing or has been replaced with aftermarket, the offer WILL change. This is on our home page, it's on every one of our local area pages, and there are three large orange disclaimers throughout the vehicle intake form that explain this that are hard to miss. There is a specific question we ask in our intake form: "Has the catalytic converter been replaced or removed?" to which you answered "No". By your own admission in this very review, it's likely you had no idea the converter was replaced, and that is understandable, but simply not knowing does not make the aftermarket converter you had any more valuable. We provided you this explaination to, we provided photo evidence of the aftermarket converter to you and the BBB. We provided screenshots of all our disclaimers that specifically say if the converter is aftermarket, and this is why the BBB sided with our company. The local buyer gave you the option to decline the updated offer, but you decided to take it anyway. After your complaint, we even offered to simply give you the car back, and you declined. I can't imagine how difficult it is to deal with the loss of your son and to dispose of his possessions, and then have to deal with this. I am truly sorry it worked out this way. However, I don't know what else we could have done differently. We appreciate your passion and feedback and wish you the very best of luck.

Reached out to me with better offer for my car than the original. I accepted and then they rescinded the better off saying "it expired". I argued and they then said they would honor the better offer and set up a pick up. I reached out again noting the pick up company had not called. They then said they could no longer honor the better offer and offered less than the original! Spent 5 days going back and forth. Waste of time on my part. Their offers cannot be trusted and feels like a classic case of bait and switch

We had agreed on a specific written price for my vehicle via email, which is a legally binding contract in every state. After sending them a photo of my clear title, as they had directed, they changed the agreed-upon price to a much lower amount. I immediately contacted CashforCars.com, and they gave me a much better offer, which we agreed to, and they will pick up the vehicle this Friday, honoring their commitment.

It's all a scam. They give you offer. Then some random tow truck driver comes out knowing he is going to cut the price before he even gets here. He immediately starts bad mouthing my truck saying he can't pay the honored price. I know my truck has issues if it didn't I would not be calling clunkerjunker......it's kind of in the name.
