Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Pasadena 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 $851.00 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.

What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car in Pasadena?

You'll also need form REG 262 for the transfer. While state law requires a title for sales, some buyers may assist during the title replacement process if you can prove ownership through registration and other documents.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Pasadena?

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 vehicle’s parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. In Los Angeles County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow California environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 75 tons of metal, safely drained more than 904 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 745 usable parts from Pasadena vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
