Get More Cash for Junk Cars in Wilmington With Our Buyers

Our junk car offers depend on make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and current scrap metal rates (currently $150 to $170 per ton). Here's what we typically pay:

Vehicle Type Typical Local Price Range
Junk Cars $230 - $1,540
Junk Vans $435 - $1,800+
Junk SUVs $525 - $2,000+
Junk Trucks $440 - $2,000+
Used Cars (Running) $1,545 - $5,000+

Actual payouts may vary. We strive to pay more money than local junkyards for any vehicle. Trucks and SUVs are valued higher, and vehicles with working parts such as engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters command premium prices.

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 Wilmington 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 11 for an average price of $520. 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 Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Leland, Hampstead, Ogden, Porters Neck, Silver Lake, Murraysville, and Kings Grant. 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 Wilmington, North Carolina, you need a valid title, government-issued photo ID, and vehicle registration. Lost titles can be replaced at the Wilmington DMV office or online through the NC DMV website using Form MVR-4 and paying a fee. For vehicles with liens, Form MVR-15 (Lien Release) is also required. Once you have these documents, you can sell to any licensed buyer in Wilmington.

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 North Carolina environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 60 tons of metal, safely drained more than 725 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 598 usable parts from Wilmington vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
