How Junk Car Pricing Works
We calculate your offer using a simple, transparent formula:
Vehicle Weight (lbs) × Scrap Price Per Pound = Your Offer
For example, a 4,500 lb pickup truck at $0.15/lb = $675. Add in a working engine, intact catalytic converter, or reusable parts and your offer can easily reach $800–$1,100+.
That is why heavier vehicles — trucks, full-size SUVs, and vans — so often qualify for $1,000 or more. The heavier the car, the more scrap metal value it carries.
We never lowball. Your quote is based on your actual vehicle — not a generic starting number we negotiate down from. Try our junk car value calculator to estimate your payout now.
