If you own an older car and are wondering if you can pawn it, the answer is yes. Getting an asset-based loan from Pawn My Car allows you to access the value of your older car to get instant funds.

This type of loan is fast and low risk because it’s based on the value of the vehicle and not your income or financial worth.

How much can you get for pawning an older car?

This depends on how much the car is worth. When it was manufactured, the mileage and the overall condition factor into this amount. The make and model will also play a role.

When it comes to older cars, the age becomes a bigger factor. It can either devalue a vehicle or give it a boost if the car is considered classic or collectible.

How old is a classic car?

For a car to be considered “classic”, it has to be of a certain age. But it also depends on the car’s popularity as a collectible. If no-one wants to buy a particular model of car, it will never be considered a classic – just old.

Generally speaking, between 20 and 40 years old puts a car in the vicinity of being classic. Add a particular make, model and popularity, and you may have a classic in your garage.

Can you be denied a loan?

Yes, there are a few factors that result in your asset-based loan being denied. If the car is not in good condition, it might be considered too high risk for a loan.

If your car isn’t paid off, it won’t qualify as collateral on an asset-based loan. If you don’t have the papers for your vehicle, this will disqualify the vehicle – even if it is paid off.
