What Is My Car Worth?

Many people think their old or non running car has no value. But even a damaged, scrap, or dead car can still be worth money. Your cash offer depends on a few simple things.

Make, Model and Year

Popular vehicles or models with high demand parts can be worth more.

Vehicle Condition

We look at whether the car is running, damaged, complete, rusty, stripped, or not starting.

Parts Value

Good engines, gearboxes, panels, lights, wheels, and electronics can increase your offer.

Scrap Metal Value

Even if the car cannot be fixed, the metal still has value.

Pickup Location

Where the vehicle is located may affect the final offer, especially for long distance pickup.

The easiest way to know your car's value is to ask for a free quote. It only takes a few minutes, and there is no pressure to accept.
