We're actively buying scrap cars in Southeast Louisiana of any year, make, or model. Popular local vehicles include the Nissan Altima, Nissan Versa, and the Volkswagen Passat.

"This was the best way we have ever gotten rid of a car that we just did not want any longer. We purchased the car new from southern Florida through faxes and phone calls. It was a good car for the 19 years we had it. And working with Junk Car Medics only took a phone call and to have the car ready on the date and time we were given. And the cash was an added bonus for us! If and when we are ready to do this again, you will get a call from us!"

Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in New Orleans despite the typical seasonal slowdown. As we head into winter 2025, scrap metal demand usually drops, but our buyers are actively purchasing vehicles to maintain inventory. This means competitive pricing for sellers right now. We're averaging $646.00 per vehicle in your area, with trucks and SUVs commanding premium prices due to their weight.

If you've been considering selling, late fall and winter can actually work in your favor. Fewer people sell during cold months, which means less competition and buyers eager to secure inventory. We're committed to fair offers year-round, evaluating your vehicle's actual value rather than just scrap weight.

The buyer pays for the value of the vehicle’s parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. In Orleans County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Louisiana environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 204 tons of metal, safely drained more than 2,451 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 2,020 usable parts from New Orleans vehicles this year.
