What your car is worth in Wilmington

There's no flat rate for junk cars in Wilmington. Offers reflect your specific vehicle — its metal weight, salvageable parts and condition — along with local scrap and parts demand.

A complete car with its original catalytic converter, a newer model year with in-demand parts, and a clean title in your name all tend to raise an offer. Missing major parts or no title can lower it, but we'll still make you an offer. See how scrap prices by weight work.

Selling a car in Delaware: checklist

  1. Find your title. Delaware titles are handled by the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. Lost it? Request a duplicate.
  2. Clear out personal items from the glove box, trunk and under the seats.
  3. The plate stays with the seller rather than the buyer: the seller either returns it to a DMV office or brings the title to DMV before the sale to keep the plate in retention for a future vehicle.
  4. Sign the title over at pickup. How to sign it correctly.
  5. File the Seller's Report of Sale, then cancel your insurance.
