Can I Get Paid in Cash?
It can be possible to get paid in cash, but in most cases collectors prefer checks for security reasons.
You can request a cash payment when scheduling your pickup, but the availability will depend entirely on the local buyer. However you’re paid, it will always be on the day of collection!
Whatever happens, we won’t negotiate at the time of pickup. Our offers are guaranteed, meaning the price you’re paid will be the same value as when you confirmed the booking with us.

Can I junk my vehicle in Louisiana?

Even if you’re further away we can still help you out, just let us know your ZIP code and we’ll see what we can do for you.
What are the junk car prices in Louisiana?
If your vehicle has been deemed a junk vehicle and needs to be recycled then your price will be directly linked to its weight. Simply put, the more metal it has, the more you’ll get paid. This means heavier trucks and SUVs will usually get bigger payouts than city cars as they have more recoverable metal in them. Prices offered are a reflection on local scrap metal prices.
Some vehicles may be “too good to junk”, (this could mean having fixable damage or vehicles that can still drive) and if yours meets this description then we’ll source an offer to reflect this. We’ll always try to salvage vehicles if possible, so we may ask you about the engine or transmission. Cars that still have working parts will often get better offers, and the more a buyer can recover the better their offer will be. Get a quote in 60 seconds for prospective offers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Do I Need To Junk My Car in Louisiana?
It is possible to sell a car in Louisiana without a title, however this is only available depending on the age and condition of your car. Of course having the title will make the entire process easier, but Wheelsaway can still help you out if you don’t have one.
How to Junk a Car Without a Title in Louisiana
- Vehicle Eligibility
- The vehicle is a pre-2012 model
- The vehicle no longer runs and is being sold for parts or salvage
- Proof of Ownership
- Either a driver’s license or State ID
- Bill of sale for the vehicle
- Required Documentation
- TBC
- Lien Status
- The vehicle must be free of any liens. If there is an existing lien, it must be satisfied before the vehicle can be junked.
- Additional considerations
- Some salvage yards may request additional documentation, such as a notarized affidavit of ownership, to further verify your right to sell the vehicle
How Much Is My Car Worth?
Depending on some factors, junk cars can sell for as much as $1,000! Don’t worry, though, Wheelsaway is here to make the process as easy as possible for you. Just give us your license plate number and ZIP code and we’ll get you a price in seconds. For more information on Louisiana junk car prices, click here.
What If The Car Still Runs?
You can still sell your car with Wheelsaway if it runs – you could actually make even more money! You could have a vehicle that qualifies for a salvage sale instead of scrap. We have specialist buyers waiting for cars just like this, so even if you have some major repair work needed, you know we’ll get you a great price no matter what.
What Type of Vehicles Do You Buy?
We can buy any type of vehicle. Cars, minivans, trucks – you name it, we’ll buy it. Our team has seen pretty much everything you can imagine, so we’re perfectly placed to get the best price for you.
Is My Car Too Good To Be Considered Junk?
If you think your car is too good to be junked because it only has one or two things wrong with it, we might be able to get you a higher offer.
Not all of the cars we help sell go straight to junkyards. We also work with specialists dealing with broken and damaged vehicles. These buyers are always looking for cars that can be repaired to get back on the road – or used as donors for other broken cars. This is known as selling as salvage.
Selling as salvage is and selling as junk are practically identical processes. Find out more about vehicle salvaging.
What’s the Difference Between Junking vs. Salvaging?
Junking is a quick way to get a great price for your car, but salvaging could see you get even more. Wheelsaway makes it easy for you to weigh up both of these options at once. If your car is broken so badly that you can’t repair it but someone with more time and ability can, then selling as salvage might be the better option for you. We’ll just need a few extra details from you so we can see if your car is salvagable, or whether it should go straight to the junkers.
When and How Do I Get Paid? Can I Receive Cash?
You’ll get paid as soon as your car has been removed! How you get paid is up to you, and is made through one of two options:
- Cash payment (location dependent)
- Check payment (for easy record keeping)
You let us know your preference, and we’ll make sure you get paid the way you want!
