What your car is worth in Waukegan

There's no flat rate for junk cars in Waukegan. 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 Illinois: checklist

  1. Find your title. Illinois titles are handled by the Illinois Secretary of State (Vehicle Services). Lost it? Request a duplicate.
  2. Clear out personal items from the glove box, trunk and under the seats.
  3. Illinois plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle, so they can't go to the buyer. You can only transfer them to another vehicle you own.
  4. Sign the title over at pickup. How to sign it correctly.
  5. File the Seller's Report of Sale, then cancel your insurance.
