Get More Cash for Junk Cars, Trucks, Vans, and SUVs in Knoxville

Cash offers for junk cars vary by make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and local scrap metal prices (currently $150 to $170 per ton). Here are our typical payment ranges:

Vehicle Type Knoxville Price Range
Junk Cars $230 - $1,415
Junk Vans $420 - $1,800+
Junk SUVs $410 - $2,000+
Junk Trucks $585 - $2,000+
Used Cars (Running) $1,410 - $5,000+

Actual payouts may vary. We aim to offer more money than local junkyards pay for vehicles. Trucks and SUVs command higher prices, and cars with valuable parts like working engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters are worth significantly more. If you get a higher written offer, we'll try to match or beat it.

I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Knoxville 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.

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

To sell your junk car in Knoxville, Tennessee, you need a valid title, government ID, and registration. Lost titles can be replaced at the Knox County Clerk's office with form RV-F1310601 and an $11 fee. For vehicles over 15 years old without a title, you can use form SF-0957 (Affidavit of Affixation) with notarization and ownership proof.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Knoxville?

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 Tennessee environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 99 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,186 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 977 usable parts from Knoxville vehicles this year.
