Junk yards pay around $250-$500 for junk cars. Prices may vary as scrap metal prices change. Pull-A-Part offers top prices for junk cars and pays in cash. When evaluating your junk car value, we consider vehicle weight, completeness, and major damage.
How to Determine Junk Car Price
The bigger the car, the more cash you can expect to be offered for a junk car. So, if you've got a complete Honda Civic, you'll probably get about $250. But if you're looking to sell that Chevy Suburban, you could get up to $500.
What do we mean by "complete"? The car needs to have its engine, transmission, wheels and doors. Also, we need the catalytic converter. Any missing parts could reduce the price we can offer. You can work that out on the phone with your junk car specialist by filling out the Get a Quote form on the right.
As for "major damage," we'll usually do junk car pick up on vehicles that have been declared "totaled." Totaled means the damage to your vehicle exceeds the book value. However, we don't want cars with flood or fire damage. If your car is totaled, contact us to find out how much the damage will impact the price.
Hope that helps you figure out the value of your junk car! Now get ready to sell it and put some cash in your pocket.
