How selling your junk car works
Selling a junk car should take minutes of your time, not weeks. Here's the whole process.
Tell us about your car
Enter the year, make, model and ZIP code. Running or not, wrecked or rusted — we want to hear about it.
Get your offer
See a no-obligation cash offer based on your vehicle, its condition and local scrap and parts demand.
Get paid at pickup
Pick a pickup time that suits you. The tow is free, and you get paid when the car is collected.
Before pickup day
- Find your title and have a photo ID ready. No title? Check your state's title guide.
- Remove personal items from the glove box, trunk and under the seats.
- Take off your license plates unless your state requires otherwise.
- Note where the keys are, if you have them — no keys is usually fine.
After pickup
- Keep a copy or photo of the signed title and any receipt.
- File a release of liability if your state has one.
- Cancel your insurance and registration.
- Cancel any toll transponder or subscription linked to the car.
Frequently asked questions
How much will I get for my junk car?
It depends on the car's year, make, model, weight and condition, whether valuable parts like the catalytic converter are present, and current scrap metal prices in your area. Fill out the quick form for an offer on your specific vehicle.
Do you buy cars that don't run?
Yes. Non-running, wrecked, flooded and stripped cars are all welcome. Towing is always free, so the car does not need to move under its own power.
Do I need a title to sell my junk car?
A title makes the sale simplest, and most states require it. Some states allow older vehicles to be sold with other proof of ownership, and a duplicate title is usually easy to request from your state motor vehicle agency. Ask us about your situation.
How fast can my car be picked up?
Pickup is often scheduled within 24–48 hours of accepting an offer, and same-day pickup may be available in some areas.
What do I need to do before pickup?
Remove your personal belongings and license plates (unless your state says otherwise), have the title and your ID ready, and cancel insurance and registration after the car is gone.
