How much do you pay for junk cars in Santa Ana?

Most junk cars in Santa Ana sell for $200 to $750, depending on weight and scrap metal prices. Vehicles that still run or have valuable parts can bring $1,000 to $2,500 or more. The exact amount depends on the year, make, model, and demand for parts. Our prices are not based on Kelley Blue Book, but on scrap and salvage value.

What types of vehicles do you buy?

We buy all types of vehicles including cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Any year, make, or model qualifies, whether it runs or not. We also purchase damaged, wrecked, and junk vehicles for their parts or scrap value.

Do I need the title to sell my vehicle in Santa Ana?

You usually need the title but in some cases we can buy junk cars with no title in Santa Ana. You would still need to prove ownership if you do not have a title. Ownership can often be proven with a photo ID matching a valid registration. Offers for vehicles without a title are lower, and eligibility depends on the vehicle's age and location.

What paperwork is required to sell my car in Santa Ana?

In most cases, we will only need the vehicle's title. However, some locations may require a bill of sale.

Can I still get cash for my junk car if my name is not on the title in Santa Ana?

In most cases, we can still buy your junk car if the title was not issued in your name. However, you may need to provide other documentation to prove ownership before we can buy it.

Does my car need to be complete to sell it?

No, your car does not need to be complete. We buy vehicles that are missing parts and even bare shells for their scrap metal value. However, offers are lower when major components such as the engine, transmission, or catalytic converter are missing or have been replaced.

Can I sell a broken or non-running car?

Yes, we buy junk cars in any condition. We will ask a few simple questions about your junk car's condition to determine its value.

I just replaced the tires on my junk car. Will that increase my offer?

Unfortunately, no. Upgrades like new tires, radios, or aftermarket add-ons do not increase junk car offers. Pricing is determined mainly by weight, current scrap metal rates, and the value of core parts such as the engine, transmission, and catalytic converter.

Does the cash offer for my junk car expire?

Yes, due to fluctuations in scrap metal prices, cash offers for junk cars can change at any time until they are accepted. Offers can also change if the vehicle doesn't match the description provided.

When will I get paid?

You will get cash or check on the spot for your vehicle once we have it hooked up to the tow truck.

How long does it take to pick up my car if I use the free junk car removal service in Santa Ana?

Most junk car pickups are scheduled within 2 to 72 hours. In many cases we can arrange same-day or next-day service, depending on tow truck availability and your preferred time. Pickup is always free.

Do I need to be there when you pick up my junk car?

Yes, the owner of the vehicle will need to be present. We need to match up the owner's identification with the name on the vehicle's title.

Is it ok if I am missing the keys to my junk car?

Yes! As long as you can prove ownership, we will buy it.

Is it safe to sell my junk car online?

Yes, we guarantee a secure sale. Junk Car Reaper is a licensed buyer with verified payments and no hidden fees.

What happens to my junk car after I sell it?

When we scrap a car, it goes through several steps. First, salvageable parts are removed for resale or recycling. Next, all fluids are safely drained. Lastly, the remaining shell is crushed or shredded and recycled for its metal content.
