If you’re looking to get rid of your junk car, selling it to a junkyard might be your first choice. And why not? Junkyards aren’t too hard to find, and they’re virtually always interested in acquiring more inventory.
However, if you’ve never experienced working with a junkyard before, learning how to navigate the industry, understanding the terms and — most importantly — figuring out how to get the most for your vehicle may be a challenge.
In short, yes. Junkyards are pretty much constantly seeking vehicles to buy, since they make their money by constantly moving inventory (vehicles) through their system. Junkyards aren’t particularly picky about vehicles, either; they’re happy to accept anything from a wrecked Tesla to a 25 year old high-mileage, low tech Chevy truck.
However, calling the first junkyard you can find a phone number for may not necessarily be the best move for you. Instead, it’s a good idea to contact different junkyards and compare their quotes to figure out who will actually give you the best offer.
Other things you want to keep in mind:
If you’ve decided it’s time to sell your car, make sure you do your research on the questions above first. Sometimes an offer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. For instance, a $500 with a $75 towing fee is obviously going to be less valuable than a vehicle with a $450 offer with free towing.
You should also factor in convenience, guarantee and customer service depending on what you value in a transaction.
How much a junkyard pays for junk cars depends heavily on the details of the vehicle. In general, junkyard offers are closely linked to the current price of scrap metal. Expect anything from $100 to $1,000 for your vehicle.
One thing to keep in mind: You can’t ever expect Kelley Blue Book values from a junkyard. If you’re selling a car to a junkyard, it’s going to be recycled for its usable parts, not resold to another buyer who could get years of use out of it. That means you should generally only consider a junkyard when your vehicle has actually depreciated significantly in value.
Because you’re not going to get the same amount from a junkyard as you would from a buyer intending to use the vehicle as-is, you should carefully consider when you decide to turn to a junkyard.
When should you sell your car to a junkyard?
For example, serious engine or transmission problems can be costly enough that it’s no longer worth repairing a vehicle, particularly an older or high-mileage car.
Selling your junk car to a junkyard is relatively simple. The best, easiest way to sell your car to a junkyard is:

Yes, a junkyard is almost certainly willing to buy your car in any condition. Junkyards are constantly searching for inventory, and are typically happy to make a scrap metal offer on your vehicle at the very least.
Whether it’s time to sell your car to a junkyard or not depends on a few factors: how old is your vehicle? What condition is it in? Does it require any repairs and if so, how much will they cost to complete?
Generally, an older or high-mileage vehicle, non-running vehicle or vehicle with serious mechanical problems can be treated as a junk car and sold to a junkyard.
