💵 Pricing & Offers
Cash offers range from $100 to $15,000+ depending on make, model, year, weight, and condition. Trucks and SUVs consistently earn more due to higher metal weight. Newer vehicles (2015+) earn more due to parts demand. Call (800) 555-0100 for your exact instant quote in under 60 seconds — no obligation.
Six key factors determine your offer: (1) Vehicle weight — heavier vehicles = more scrap metal value. (2) Year, make, model — newer or popular models have higher parts demand. (3) Condition — running vehicles may earn a parts premium. (4) Local scrap metal prices — these fluctuate weekly based on market rates. (5) Which parts are salvageable — engine, transmission, catalytic converter all add value. (6) Title status — clean title gets max payout.
Never. We have a strict Price Lock Guarantee — the offer we give on the phone is exactly what we pay at pickup. No last-minute reductions, no "the driver saw something" excuses. If any JunkSphere pickup driver attempts to lower the offer, call our main line immediately and we will honor the original quote.
In almost all cases, yes — significantly more. Scrapyards pay only scrap metal weight. JunkSphere considers parts value, market demand, and scrap value combined. A 2014 pickup truck might get $180 at a scrapyard versus $900–$1,400 from JunkSphere. Plus we tow for free — scrapyards often charge $75–$150 for towing.
We pay cash on the spot at every pickup — no checks, no wire transfers, no waiting. The driver hands you the agreed amount in cash the moment you hand over the signed title and keys.
🚛 Towing & Pickup
Yes — completely free on every single pickup, nationwide. Free towing is not a promotion — it's our permanent policy. The cash offer quoted is exactly what you receive. We never deduct towing costs, fuel, or any fees from your payment.
Same-day pickup is available in most cities across all 50 states. Call before noon for best same-day availability. Next-day pickup is available in rural and remote areas. We schedule Mon–Sun, 7am–9pm across all US time zones.
Yes — we pick up from anywhere: driveways, body shops, mechanics, storage lots, parking garages, and roadsides. Free towing applies regardless of location. Just provide the address and we'll dispatch a driver.
Yes — or someone with legal authority to sign over the title must be present. We need a signed title and valid photo ID at pickup. If the car is at a shop, you can arrange to meet our driver there or have the shop release it with your signed paperwork.
We handle difficult pickups including cars in mud, sand, tight spaces, or multi-level parking garages. Just describe the situation when you call and we'll send the right equipment. No extra charge for challenging locations.
📄 Titles & Paperwork
A title is preferred and gets you the maximum offer. If you've lost your title, we guide you through the duplicate title process at no charge. It typically costs $15–$30 at your state DMV and takes a few days. Some states allow us to proceed with just registration and ID — call us to confirm your state's rules.
Yes — we accept all title types including clean titles, salvage titles, rebuilt titles, and non-repairable certificates in all 50 states. Title type may affect the offer amount but will never disqualify your vehicle.
Required: (1) Vehicle title signed on the back in the seller section. (2) Valid government-issued photo ID matching the name on the title. Recommended: Remove license plates before pickup and return them to your state DMV. After the sale, file a vehicle transfer notification with your DMV within 30 days.
No. Once you sign over the title and we provide a Bill of Sale, your liability ends legally. We strongly recommend also filing a vehicle transfer notice with your state DMV — this officially records the transfer and protects you from any future parking tickets, toll violations, or incidents involving the vehicle.
We do. Our driver completes the title transfer documentation and provides you with a Bill of Sale at every pickup — at no extra charge. Keep your copy of the Bill of Sale for your records.
🔧 Car Conditions We Accept
Yes — we buy junk cars in any condition, running or not. Blown engine, bad transmission, missing wheels, seized brakes — we accept all and tow free regardless of whether the vehicle moves on its own.
Yes — flood and water damaged vehicles are among our most common purchases. Even if the car is a declared insurance total loss with a salvage title, we buy it. Flood damage does not disqualify your vehicle — call for an instant quote.
Yes. Fire damaged vehicles still have scrap metal value and often have salvageable parts underneath the damage. We buy all fire and burn damaged vehicles regardless of extent of damage.
Yes — wrecked and accident damaged vehicles are bought every day. Whether it's a minor fender bender or a severe collision total loss, we assess value based on salvageable parts and scrap weight. All accident-damaged vehicles accepted.
We buy vehicles of any age — from classic cars from the 1950s to modern vehicles. Older vehicles are typically valued on scrap metal weight. Rare or classic models may have additional value — call us and describe the vehicle for an accurate quote.
The Process
Step 1: Call (800) 555-0100 — tell us the year, make, model, and condition. Get a guaranteed cash offer in under 60 seconds. Step 2: Accept the offer and schedule a free pickup time. Step 3: Our driver arrives, you sign the title, we hand you cash on the spot and tow the car away for free. Total time from call to cash: usually under 24 hours.
Yes — use the quote form on our contact page or on any condition page. Fill in your vehicle details and we'll call you back within 4 minutes with your guaranteed offer. Calling is faster but the online form works 24/7.
None whatsoever. Getting a quote is completely free with zero obligation. You can accept or decline — we won't pressure you either way. Many customers call us just to compare offers before deciding.
Four things: (1) Sign the back of your title in the seller section. (2) Remove all personal belongings — check the glove box, console, trunk, and under seats. (3) Remove your license plates (required by most states). (4) Have your photo ID ready. That's it — we handle everything else.
♻️ After the Sale
Every vehicle is transported to an EPA-certified auto dismantler. First, usable parts are removed and sold as replacement parts — this is what allows us to pay more than scrapyards. Then all hazardous fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid, refrigerants) are drained and disposed of by licensed contractors. Finally, the remaining metal frame is crushed and 100% recycled. Zero landfill waste.
Yes — contact your insurance provider after the title has been transferred and your plates have been returned to the DMV. Don't keep paying for insurance on a vehicle you no longer own. This can save you $50–$200/month depending on your policy.
Yes — most states require you to file a vehicle transfer notification within 30 days of the sale. This officially records that you no longer own the vehicle. Visit your state DMV website to file — it usually takes 5 minutes online. This protects you from any future liability.
In most cases, no — selling a personal vehicle for less than you originally paid is not taxable. However, if you sell for more than the vehicle's original purchase price, the difference may be a capital gain. Consult a tax professional for advice specific to your situation. JunkSphere is not a tax advisor.
