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 when you request the Instant Bid. Inoperable vehicles are priced differently from cars that run and drive. The bid is still a guaranteed purchase price for the condition you report. A wrong condition is the usual reason the number changes at the truck; enter the car as it sits.
Junk my car without the scrap-yard trip
When people say
junk my car or
junk your car for money, they usually mean they want the vehicle gone and payment in hand – not a weekend of arranging a private tow and waiting on a scale price. Selling to CarBidNow keeps the vehicle at your address until pickup. You see the Instant Bid before anyone is dispatched. Payment is the check the driver hands you, not a later mailed amount.
You do not have to get the car running first. You do not have to deliver it to a yard. Nationwide Remarketing buys vehicles that roll and have a transferable title (or a title we can help you complete), then schedules pickup through a local tow provider in our network.
Junk car pick up
Junk car pick up is part of the purchase. After you accept the Instant Bid, dispatch schedules a tow provider. Pickup is typically 24 to 48 hours, depending on your location and the nearest available truck. Timing is not a same-day guarantee; call
1-877-669-2431 if the car is already blocking a driveway or you need to confirm title status before you accept.
At the appointment, the driver arrives with a preprinted check for the agreed Instant Bid amount. You provide the keys and transferable title documents. The driver loads the vehicle and leaves the check with you. For the full payment story, see
How you get paid. For the four-step purchase flow, see
How it works.
Titles, salvage, and liens on junk cars
We buy vehicles with transferable titles, including clean, 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.
We do not promise to buy a car with no path to a transferable title. If you need title help, say so when you call or when dispatch follows up after you accept. For salvage detail, use
Sell a salvage title car. For lien payoff, use
Sell a car with a lien. If the car does not run, also see
Sell a car that doesn’t run.
Sell junk vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans)
Sell junk vehicles on this page covers more than passenger cars. Nationwide Remarketing buys cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans that roll and have a transferable title. High-mileage trucks, worn-out SUVs, and vans that no longer fit your household are candidates for an Instant Bid the same way a junk sedan is.

Frequently asked questions
Do you buy junk cars for cash?
Yes. Request an Instant Bid with the VIN, condition, and title type. Accept only if the number works for you. Pickup is typically 24 to 48 hours after acceptance, and payment is a check at the truck.
Can I get money for junk cars that don’t run?
Yes, if the vehicle rolls and the title can be transferred. Select inoperable when you request the Instant Bid. See also
Sell a car that doesn’t run.
Do you offer junk car pick up near me?
We pick up in all 50 U.S. states. Timing depends on your location and the nearest tow provider – typically 24 to 48 hours after you accept. We do not publish a city-by-city list; nationwide coverage is the rule.
What if my junk car has a salvage title or a lien?
Salvage and rebuilt titles are accepted when they transfer. We can help with title work and with lien payoffs so the sale can close. Details:
salvage and
lien.
Is this the same as federal Cash for Clunkers?
No. CarBidNow is not the federal Cash for Clunkers program. Nationwide Remarketing buys vehicles through Instant Bid, free pickup, and a check at the truck.
Who is the check made out to?
The customer, for the agreed Instant Bid amount. The driver hands you the check at pickup.
Is pickup free?
Yes. Pickup is free; we pay for the tow. The tow provider comes to you, so there is no scrap-yard drop-off.
