What is Cash For Junk Cars?
Cash for junk cars means selling an end-of-life vehicle for its scrap or parts value. Junk cars typically range in value from $200 to $1,000, depending on the vehicle’s weight, whether valuable parts like catalytic converters remain intact, and the latest scrap metal prices.
With Junk Car Reaper, you get instant offers from our nationwide buyer network along with free towing, DMV paperwork assistance, and eco-friendly recycling. That's why our cash for junk cars service is the dead-simple way to get rid of an old, non-running, or totaled vehicle.
Types of Junk Cars Accepted
Cash for junk cars applies to all conditions, including:
- Non-running vehicles – won’t start or move.
- Wrecked cars – accident damage, totaled by insurance.
- Stripped cars – missing parts, but still metal-heavy.
- End-of-life vehicles – 15+ years old, no resale demand.
Our buyers also accept flood-damaged cars, fire-damaged cars, and vehicles without titles (where state law allows).

How Much Does Cash For Junk Cars Pay?
Below are typical payout ranges you can expect:
- Small cars (sedans, compacts): $200 – $600
- SUVs and trucks: $400 – $1,000+
- Wrecked or stripped vehicles: $200 – $500
The national average payout is $450 for junk cars and $625 for junk trucks, as of September 2025.
How is the Cash Value of a Junk Car Determined?
The cash value of your junk car depends on 3 main factors:
- Scrap car prices (your vehicle's metal value)
- Vehicle weight and composition
- Value of salvageable car parts
Those three factors work together to set the value of every junk car. That’s why two vehicles of the same age can bring very different payouts.
We Pay Top Dollar for Junk Cars
Unlike local junkyards that only pay scrap rates, our buyers factor in scrap value and resale demand. That’s why sellers through Junk Car Reaper average 25–35% more than they would at a single yard. If you do happen to find a higher written quote from a licensed buyer, our team will match or beat it to get you top dollar for your junk car.
