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

Our junk car offers depend on make, model, condition, mileage, weight, salvage value, and current scrap metal rates (currently $155 to $175 per ton). Here's what we typically pay:

Vehicle Type Tempe Price Range
Junk Cars $300 - $1,535
Junk Vans $455 - $1,800+
Junk SUVs $420 - $2,000+
Junk Trucks $460 - $2,000+
Used Cars (Running) $1,360 - $5,000+

Actual payouts may vary. Our goal is to pay top dollar for every vehicle, typically beating junkyard rates.

Todd's Expert Take

I'm Todd, founder of Junk Car Medics. I've been helping people sell junk cars for cash in Tempe 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 17 vehicles for an average price of $846. 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 About Junking Vehicles for Cash in Tempe

Do you pay cash for junk cars near me?

Yes. Our junk car service buys clunkers across all of Tempe, including Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Guadalupe, and Ahwatukee Foothills. 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 Tempe?

To sell your junk car in Tempe, Arizona, you'll need a valid vehicle title, government-issued photo ID, registration, and all keys. Lost titles can be replaced at any Arizona MVD office or through the MVD NOW online portal by completing form 96-0236 and paying a fee. For out-of-state titles, contact the original state's DMV. While some buyers may accept alternative ownership proof, a valid title is recommended for the smoothest transaction.

How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Tempe?

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 Arizona environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 91 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,089 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 897 usable parts from Tempe vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
