How Does Selling a Junk Car Work?

Most junk car buyers follow a similar process: you describe the vehicle's condition, year, make, and model; they give you a cash offer over the phone or online, and if you accept, they schedule a pickup, often within 24 to 48 hours. Many buyers handle the towing themselves at no extra cost, and some can even work with vehicles that don't have a title, depending on your state's rules.

Selling a Junk Car with an Existing Loan

Have a title loan or lien on the vehicle? That doesn't automatically rule out selling it as junk, but it does add a few extra steps. Our guide on how to sell a car with a title loan walks through the legal and financial side of clearing a lien before or during the sale.

What Affects How Much You Get for a Junk Car?

Price depends on a few factors: the vehicle's weight and scrap metal value, whether working parts can be resold, the make and model's demand, and your location. Cars with valuable parts like a working engine or catalytic converter, or those still drivable, typically fetch a better offer than vehicles that are heavily damaged or missing major components.

Junk Cars vs. Roadside Assistance

If your car isn't a total loss and might just need a jump start, a tow, or a quick repair, it may be worth checking with a roadside assistance provider before deciding to scrap it. Sometimes what looks like a dead car is a simple, affordable fix.
