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

We pay competitive prices for junk cars based on several factors including make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and local scrap metal market rates (currently $170 to $190 per ton). Here's what you can expect:

Vehicle Type Sacramento Price Range
Junk Cars $260 - $1,535
Junk Vans $420 - $1,800+
Junk SUVs $420 - $2,000+
Junk Trucks $460 - $2,000+

Actual payouts may vary. We work to pay the most money possible for vehicles and frequently exceed what local junkyards offer.

If you get a higher written offer, we'll try to match or beat it.

Common Questions About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Sacramento

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Sacramento, including Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Davis, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, and Rocklin. 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 in Sacramento?

To sell your junk car in Sacramento, California, you need a valid title, current registration, government-issued photo ID, and all vehicle keys. If your title is missing, get a replacement by submitting form REG 227 to any Sacramento DMV office or DMV headquarters. Without a title, some buyers may accept registration and a REG 138 release of liability form, but this limits your options and may lower the offered price.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Sacramento?

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 California environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 259 tons of metal, safely drained more than 3,105 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 2,558 usable parts from Sacramento vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
