Top Questions People Ask Before Selling a Junk Car

May 21, 2025

Selling a junk car for the first time can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve never gone through the process. At Select Auto Parts & Sales, we speak with Milwaukee car owners every day who have questions about how it works, what documents are required, and how much they can expect to earn.

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive—and our expert answers to help you navigate the process confidently.

How Much Is My Junk Car Worth?

The value of your junk car depends on several key factors, including:

  • The car’s make, model, and year
  • The condition of key components like the engine and transmission
  • The current market price of scrap metal
  • Whether or not the car is complete (not stripped or missing parts)
  • If the vehicle is drivable or has major structural damage

We evaluate all of this and more to provide a fair and fast cash offer. 💵

Can I Sell My Car Without a Title?

Yes, in many cases you can still sell your junk car without a title. While having the title is ideal and speeds up the process, we accept other forms of ownership verification, such as:

  • A valid vehicle registration
  • A bill of sale
  • Loan or lease agreements
  • Proof of insurance

Requirements may vary slightly based on your situation, but don’t let a missing title stop you from reaching out.

Is Pickup Really Free?

Yes—we never charge for junk car removal. Towing and pickup are 100% free, whether your car is in a driveway, garage, or parked on the street. We make it easy for you to get rid of your unwanted vehicle without the stress of additional costs.

When Do I Get Paid?

We pay immediately at the time of pickup, usually in cash. Some customers request digital payments, and we’re happy to accommodate where possible. Either way, you’ll get your money fast—no waiting, no hidden steps.

Do You Accept Cars That Don’t Run?

Absolutely. We specialize in buying non-operational, damaged, salvaged, or even flooded vehicles. Even if your car hasn’t started in years, it still has value in its metal and components.
