"My name is Daniel Baldwin I'm the general manager of Kurt's Auto Wrecking Pic a Part in American Fork, Utah. And we like to tell you today how to sell a car to us. We buy cars all the time and alls you need to do is bring in the title and the car and sell it to us. It's best if you do not fill out anything on the title until you get here, so we can help you with that so there's no problems in getting wrong signatures in the wrong places. There's a few steps we like you to do before you get here, and that is to clean out your car, get everything out of it that you want. Cause once it gets here it's awful hard for us to protect it and we don't you know it's just a good idea if you can have your stuff out of the car. And to take your license plates. It's usually we end up taking the license plates off and destroy them but occasionally there is a problem with you leave your license plates so we expect you and you should do is take all that stuff. And then bring in the title and we pay cash at the time you drop it off. Also if the car is inoperable or you just don't want to drive it down here, we do have tow trucks and just give us a call, we can arrange a time where we can meet you and our driver will, our tow truck driver will show you how to fill out the title also so please again do not fill out anything on the title until we can help you do that and we can pick them up and we just pay you a little less for it."
