What are the junk car prices in Alabama?

The junk vehicles we deal with are recycled, and the price you’ll receive depends primarily on the weight of your car or truck. Heavier vehicles are worth more than smaller, lighter cars because the extra metal they’re made from gives them more value. The value of scrap metal itself in your local area will also factor in to the offers we find for your car.

We can also find a buyer for vehicles that are not considered junk just yet – these are salvage vehicles. Salvage vehicles might have some damage that can be fixed or doesn’t prevent the car from being driven. The price you receive will reflect this, meaning you’ll get offered MORE money for your vehicle! However, to determine if your car is salvageable, we might have ask a couple more questions about it, usually regarding the transmission or engine. You can get an initial quote in just ONE minute!


Frequently Asked Questions

What Do I Need To Junk My Car in Alabama?

Alabama law requires you to possess the title of the vehicle you want to junk. You’ll need to get a replacement if you don’t already have it. You will also need proof of ownership, and you’ll be required to transfer that ownership the correct way. The title should also have no liens attached. Check in with the Alabama Department of Revenue for further guidance.

How Much Is My Car Worth?

It’s not possible to put a single figure to every car, but you can get a quote from Wheelsaway and have your junk vehicle valued in seconds. No two vehicles will be valued the same, even if they’re an identical make & model. The price of scrap metal makes a lot of difference, but the condition of your car or truck also has a hand in determining what your vehicle is worth as junk or salvage.

What If The Car Still Runs?

Great! If your vehicle still runs, it might be classified as salvage instead of junk. This means you’ll get more money for it! Salvage cars are repaired, or taken apart so that their parts can be pulled out for use in other vehicles.

What Type of Vehicles Do You Buy?

ALL of them! Sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, RVs… we buy it all! Enter your ZIP code and your vehicle’s details today to find out how much cash you could earn by selling it as junk or salvage right now!

Is My Car Too Good To Be Considered Junk?

It could be, sure. But that doesn’t mean you have to look elsewhere! Wheelsaway can classify your car as salvage instead, and find a buyer offering even more cash than they would if it was junk! If your vehicle still drives or only has minor, isolated damage, salvage could be the way to maximize your profits!

What’s the Difference Between Junking vs. Salvaging?

Junking is pretty simple – your car will be crushed so that all the materials used in it can be separated out and recycled.

Salvaging is a little different – your car will be disassembled so that its parts can be saved and then reused in other vehicles. In other cases, your car may even be restored.

Either way, Wheelsaway keeps things fast, easy & profitable for you.

When and How Do I Get Paid? Can I Receive Cash?

You’ll get paid when your vehicle is picked up by the buyer. You can request to be paid in cash, but many of our buyers prefer to pay you via check. This is simply so that they don’t have to drive around all day with a bunch of cash laying around their truck!
