Why SUVs Pay More Than Sedans
Three things combine to make SUVs among the highest-paying junk vehicles:
More metal
A full-size SUV like a Chevrolet Suburban contains roughly 3,000–3,500 lbs of steel — nearly double a compact sedan. At $0.085–$0.11/lb, that metal alone is worth $255–$385 in raw scrap before any other factors.
Larger catalytic converters
SUVs and trucks have physically larger catalytic converters with more precious metal content. A V8 SUV converter can be worth $200–$400, versus $50–$100 for a 4-cylinder sedan converter. This single component significantly boosts the offer.
High-demand used parts
Ford Explorer engines, Toyota Highlander transmissions, and Chevrolet Tahoe suspension components are all heavily sought after by repair shops and private buyers. When parts are saleable, buyers can offer more than the raw scrap rate alone would support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do SUVs get higher junk car offers than sedans?
Weight is the primary driver of junk car value, and SUVs are significantly heavier than most sedans. A mid-size SUV like a Ford Explorer weighs roughly 4,200 lbs — compared to about 3,200 lbs for a mid-size sedan. At current Georgia scrap steel prices of $0.085–$0.11/lb, that 1,000-pound difference alone translates to $85–$110 more in base scrap value, before factoring in parts demand and catalytic converter value.
Do you buy SUVs that don't run?
Yes. We buy non-running SUVs every day across metro Atlanta. Our tow trucks are equipped with flatbeds and winches to load vehicles that won't start, roll, or steer. The scrap metal value and parts value of your SUV don't disappear when the engine stops working — we still pay for what the vehicle is worth.
What's the most I could get for a large SUV like a Suburban or Expedition?
Full-size SUVs like the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon XL, Ford Expedition, or Toyota Sequoia weigh 5,500–6,400 lbs and contain large catalytic converters. In 2026, well-preserved examples can earn $800–$1,400+. The final offer depends on current scrap prices, converter presence, and the condition of major components like the engine and transmission.
Do you need the title to buy my SUV?
For SUVs from model year 2014 and earlier, Georgia's 12-year rule (O.C.G.A. § 40-3-4) allows the sale without a title — just your photo ID and a bill of sale. For newer vehicles, a title is preferred but contact us to discuss alternatives. Having your title typically adds 10–15% to your offer.
How long does it take to sell my junk SUV?
For most Atlanta metro customers, the entire process takes less than 24 hours. Call in the morning, get a quote in 5 minutes, schedule pickup for that afternoon, and receive cash on the spot when the tow truck arrives. Total time from your call to cash in hand is typically under 4 hours.
Selling a junk truck? Trucks pay even more per pound than SUVs in most cases.
