How Much Can You Get for a Junk Car in Los Angeles?

We pay between $300 to $1,500 for most junk cars in Los Angeles. Prices depend on the vehicle’s condition, weight, demand, title status, and current scrap metal prices. Smaller vehicles are typically on the lower end of the range, while heavier vehicles are worth more due to their metal content. Cars with valuable parts like a catalytic converter, engine, or transmission may receive higher offers. Titled vehicles that are still drivable or repairable can receive up to $2,500 or more.

What Documents Are Needed to Sell a Junk Car in Los Angeles?

To sell your junk car in Los Angeles, you typically need the vehicle title and a valid government-issued ID. For vehicles under 10 years old the California DMV requires an Odometer Disclosure.

Submit an Application for Replacement or Transfer of Title (REG 227) with the California DMV if you need to order a replacement. The cost is $27. If you are applying for a replacement title and the registered owner's name or address doesn't match DMV records, you must submit your application in person with proof of ownership (registration card) and photo ID.

Can I Sell a Junk Car With No Title in Los Angeles?

Yes, you can sell a junk car without a title in Los Angeles in most cases. Junk Car Medics pays up to $500 cash for cars with no title, sometimes more depending on the vehicle's condition, location, and parts. You must be the registered owner and the vehicle must not have an active lien.
