Get More Cash for Junk Cars in Cedar Rapids With Our Buyers

Cash offers for junk cars vary by make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and local scrap metal prices (currently $140 to $160 per ton). Here are our typical payment ranges:

Vehicle Type Typical Local Price Range
Junk Cars $250 - $1,450
Junk Vans $420 - $1,800+

Junk Trucks $440 - $2,000+
Used Cars (Running) $1,110 - $5,000+

Actual payouts may vary. Our prices frequently beat what junkyards pay for cars. Trucks and SUVs fetch more money due to their size, and vehicles with valuable parts like engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters receive higher offers.

If you get a higher written offer, we'll try to match or beat it.

Todd's Expert Take

I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Cedar Rapids for over 10 years. I've learned that most sellers want two things — top dollar and fast service. We deliver on both. Our offers are fair, guaranteed, and we'll often match or beat written offers from competitors to earn your business.

Last month alone, we bought more than 13 for an average price of $347. Now is a great time to sell. We're actively paying cash for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. And there's no car I want to buy more than yours, and I'll prove it with our offer!

Common Questions

Do you buy junk cars in my area?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across the area, including Marion, Hiawatha, Robins, Fairfax, Mount Vernon, Anamosa, Vinton, North Liberty, and Coralville. No matter where you are located we will make you a fair offer and come to you to remove your vehicle at no charge.

What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car?

To sell your junk car in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, you need a valid vehicle title, government-issued photo ID, and vehicle registration. Lost titles can be replaced at any Iowa DOT location or online through their website by completing Form 411033 and paying a fee. While other documents like lien releases or bills of sale may help establish ownership, a valid title is generally required to complete the sale legally.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of?

When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer, such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. We work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Iowa environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 69 tons of metal, safely drained more than 831 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 685 usable parts from Cedar Rapids vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
