Pricing
How much is a junk car worth?
A junk car is worth its scrap weight plus any parts that can be resold. At about $186 per ton for complete cars, a typical sedan is worth roughly $310 in metal alone. Cars that still run, or that are less than ten years old, are usually worth more because their parts are in demand.
Missing parts lower the price. The catalytic converter matters most because of the precious metals inside it. Having the title in your name keeps the price at the top of the range.
