Sell My Junk Car for Cash
A junk car still has value if it rolls and the title can be transferred. CarBidNow, the consumer brand of Nationwide Remarketing, buys worn-out, damaged, and unwanted vehicles in all 50 states and picks them up at your location.
Get an Instant Bid from the form on the homepage. The price is automatic and guaranteed based on whether the car starts, runs and drives, or is inoperable. Accept the offer and we send a tow provider. The driver brings a check made out to you for the agreed purchase price.
What counts as a junk car here
Junk on this page means a vehicle you no longer want to keep, repair, or list privately. That can include high-mileage cars that are expensive to maintain, vehicles with major mechanical problems, accident-damaged cars that still roll, cars that start but should not be driven far, inoperable cars that can be towed, and salvage-title or rebuilt-title vehicles.
If the car does not start, say so in the Instant Bid form. Inoperable vehicles are priced differently from cars that run and drive. The bid is still a guaranteed purchase price for the condition you report.
Junk car sale vs. scrap yard drop-off
Hauling a car to a yard yourself means arranging a tow, waiting on a scale price, and hoping the title is simple. Selling to CarBidNow keeps the vehicle at your address until pickup. You see the bid before anyone is dispatched. Payment is the check the driver hands you, not a later mailed amount.
Titles, salvage, and liens on junk cars
We buy vehicles with transferable titles, including salvage and rebuilt. If the paperwork is messy, we can help with titles. If a lender still has a lien, we can help pay it off so the sale can close. The requirement is straightforward: the vehicle must roll, and the title must be transferable when the purchase is completed.
How long junk-car pickup takes
Pickup is typically 24 to 48 hours after you accept the Instant Bid. Timing depends on your location and the nearest tow provider in the Nationwide Remarketing network. Call 1-877-669-2431 if the car is already blocking a driveway or you need to confirm title status before you accept.
