Yes, junk car buyers will buy a car with no wheels. The vehicle still has value in its engine, transmission, catalytic converter, body, and scrap metal. Depending on whether your wheels are steel or alloy, your offer will be reduced by $50 to $200.
Impact of missing wheels:
- Steel wheels: $10 to $15 each
- Alloy wheels: $25 to $75 each
- Alloy wheels with good tires: $75 to $150 each
- Premium or aftermarket wheels: Significant impact
If you choose to remove your wheels to sell separately, that's not always a bad idea. Quality wheels and tires can get you $200 to $600. The only disadvantage is that you will get less for the remaining vehicle.
Junk Car Medics and other buyers handle vehicles without tires regularly. There are flatbed trucks, wheel dollies, and skates that are used for such vehicles. If your vehicle is in a tight space, make sure to mention that to the carrier. Any information requiring specialized pickup about your wheelless vehicle will help.
