Avoid these 5 mistakes when selling your junk car

So, you've decided that it is time to sell your junk car. Whether you are selling because your junk car is a total loss or end of life vehicle, or you've just decided that the time is right, when you go to sell your junk car make sure that you avoid these 5 common mistakes.

1) Make sure you have the title. Buyers of junk cars are not legally allowed to buy the car from anyone other than its legal owner. For help replacing your title visit the service area page at Rusty's Auto Salvage to view a copy of the title replacement document for your state and click the image to go to the correct state DMV office near you.

2) Collect all of your personal belongings from your junk car. This can include any customized or stock stereo equipment as well as emergency roadside items such as jumper cables, snow chains, and tire irons. Don't forget to go through the glove compartment, side door compartments and center console as well.

3) Know the value of your junk car. Different junk car removal companies will have different pricing models, so make sure that you take the time to find the one that offers you the fairest price. Some things that may influence their offers are current scrap metal prices, your junk car's make and model, cosmetic damage, and whether or not it runs, so make sure you do your research. Read this for more information.

4) Make sure that the company you agree to do business with includes the pick-up of your junk car at no extra cost to you- most reputable companies include in their service model.

5) Finally, remember to remove your license plate and cancel your insurance after you finalize the sale (congratulations!)

The easiest way to avoid all these mistakes is to use the web to find one of the new online junk car buyers. They will find a junkyard or salvage yard near you or they may put your car up for sale at an auction. Either way a good junk car buying service can get you top dollar for your car and remove the hassle of getting everything ready and making sure all the paperwork is right.

Jeff Bezos, Move Over: Gen Z is Driven by World Change and Innovation... But is Consumed by Mental Health and Job Worries, Says Girls With Impacts Special Gen Z Report

Although Gen Z – those just now entering the workforce – are worried about job security and a stable paycheck, this generation is overwhelmingly purpose-driven. Read here.

A new report issued by the non-profit education organization Girls With Impact with the support of the S&P Global Foundation finds that Gen Z wants a future centered on world change and innovation.

Nearly two-thirds (65%) say they want to "make difference to a cause they care about" and 60% wants to "personally create something innovative."

The study -- What's Inside the Minds of Gen Z? – was conducted September 2019 among 500 men and women, ages 13-22.

"It's no longer about just getting a paycheck," said CEO Jennifer Openshaw. "Gen Z is hungry for purpose in the work – the sense that they are having a larger impact on the world -- even if they're employed by someone else"

TOP WORRIES: JOB SECURITY, MENTAL HEALTH

When asked about their top worries, being successful and getting a job ranked first and second (69% and 59% respectively).

More worrisome is that mental health ranked third, ahead of body image, grades, or getting into college.

"Mental health appeared more prominent among women and transgender populations than men," added Openshaw. "This explains why we see girls developing ventures focused on depression and stress – and why mental health is a front and center issue." Read latest news here.

"At Johnson & Johnson, we offer a mental health app accessible not only to employees but their family members," says Fernando Salinas, head of global Human Resources for Johnson & Johnson's commercial business. "This digital access is key."

GENDER GAPS

The report also highlighted three key gender gaps: leadership, compensation expectations and entrepreneurship.

Fewer women (28%) than men (36%) expect to be a leader of an organization.

Women are also more likely to expect a lower salary by age 40 with 74% expecting to earn under $100,000 compared by just 64% of men.

Finally, fewer women (43%) than men (47%) expect to be an entrepreneur. Over 50% of those identifying as transgender/gender non-confirming expect to become an entrepreneur.

CONFIDENCE DRIVERS

When asked what would most improve their confidence, Gen Z's answers fell into two primary categories: Personal image and professional skills.

After weight loss (45%), Gen Z said that removing acne (31%), public speaking (31%) and launching their own business (29%) would have the most impact – ahead of having a role model or mentor or even winning a competition.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The report offers a host of recommendations for employers and educators including offering mental health education and outlets, harnessing the desire for innovation through corporate "intrapreneurship" and improving mentor matching.

Girls With Impact is the nation's only live online entrepreneurship program for teen girls, offered year-round. The 10-week, after-school "mini-MBA" moves girls from ideation to a business plan, driving improvements in confidence, leadership, college readiness and professional skills for success. Watch this.
