Todd's Expert Take

We're currently seeing strong offers in Salem 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 $334.00 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.

Common Questions About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Salem

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

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

To sell your junk car in Salem, Oregon, you need a valid title, photo ID, and registration. Lost titles can be replaced at the Oregon DMV or online using Form 735-226. While some buyers may accept a bill of sale and registration for titleless vehicles, most prefer having the title. For cars over 20 years old, Form 735-270 can be used to establish ownership.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Salem?

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 Marion County, we work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow Oregon environmental regulations to handle vehicles the right way. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 87 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,040 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 857 usable parts from Salem vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
