How To Get $1,000-$1,500 For Your Junk Car
What Makes Your Junk Car Worth $1,000 or More?
Not all junk cars are created equal. Here's what makes the difference between a $300 offer and a $1,000+ payday:
1. Vehicle Weight & Size
Heavier vehicles contain more recyclable metal, which means more value:
- Small cars (2,000-3,000 lbs): $200-$500
- Midsize cars/SUVs (3,000-4,000 lbs): $400-$1,000
- Large SUVs/trucks (4,000+ lbs): $700-$1,500+
2. Vehicle Age & Condition
- Newer vehicles (2010 and newer): Even with significant damage, cars less than 15 years old typically fetch $800-$1,500+
- Running vehicles: A car that starts and drives, even with issues, is worth $300-$500 more than a non-running vehicle
- Salvageable parts: Working transmissions, engines, and catalytic converters significantly increase value
3. Market Demand
- Popular models with high demand for parts (Toyota, Honda, Nissan) typically bring higher offers
- Rare or specialty vehicles may qualify for premium prices
- Current scrap metal prices affect all offers (currently at 5-year high)

Frequently Asked Questions About $1,000+ Junk Car Sales
How can I tell if my junk car is worth $1,000?
While only a personalized quote can determine your exact offer, vehicles that typically fetch $1,000 or more include SUVs less than 15 years old, any vehicle 2010 or newer regardless of condition, and premium brand vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.) less than 20 years old.
How quickly can I get $1,000 for my junk car?
From the moment you accept our offer, we can typically schedule pickup within 24 hours, and many areas offer same-day service. Payment is made at the time of pickup, meaning you could have $1,000+ in your hands today.
What if my car is missing parts? Can I still get $1,000?
Absolutely! While missing parts may affect your vehicle's value, we regularly pay $1,000+ for incomplete vehicles, especially newer models or those with valuable remaining components like catalytic converters, engines, or transmissions.
Do you really pay $1,500 for junk cars?
Yes! In 2024 alone, we've paid over $1,500 for more than 3,200 vehicles nationwide. Typically, vehicles commanding these premium prices are:
- SUVs and trucks less than 10 years old
- Luxury vehicles with salvageable components
- Vehicles with rare or high-demand parts
- Cars with low mileage despite damage
Will you negotiate on price?
Unlike most junk car buyers who start high and reduce offers at pickup, our quotes are guaranteed. However, if you receive a higher written offer from a competitor, we'll not only match it but add an additional $100.

"I had a 2015 Ford Explorer with significant front-end damage. Other buyers offered $600-$800, but Junk Car Medics paid $1,575. The difference was enough to cover three months of car payments on my replacement vehicle." - Sarah K., Austin, TX
