Junk vehicle
A junk vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle. It has reached the point where you are no longer repairing it, but it still holds parts as well as metal, and both are valued.

Junk Car Removal in Edmonton, With the Vehicle Towed Free
Cash for cars covers junk vehicles: a car at the end of its life, bought as it stands and towed away free, with cash paid on the spot at collection. This page is for the vehicle you have stopped repairing.
Where junk ends and metal-value-only begins
The two words are used interchangeably by most buyers, and they are not the same class of vehicle.
You do not have to classify it correctly before you call. The class is confirmed when the vehicle is seen, and the same four factors apply either way.
Metal-value-only vehicle
A metal-value-only vehicle is one where the parts are gone or beyond recovery, so the metal is what remains to value.
What an end-of-life vehicle is worth
A junk vehicle is valued on the same four factors as any other: its weight, the scrap-metal market price, the salvageable parts still on it, and its year, make and condition.
- 01Weight
- 02Scrap-metal market price
- 03Salvageable parts
- 04Year, make and condition
Intact beats stripped
An intact car is worth more than a stripped one of the same model. A vehicle you stopped driving with its parts still fitted is an intact car.
Where the number becomes firm
The firm number comes from seeing the vehicle rather than from a phone description. For the method in full, see what your car is worth.
Condition is not a barrier here

A vehicle that is not yours to sell
A derelict vehicle on a property
A derelict vehicle sitting on a property is a separate question from selling one, and the City of Edmonton has its own rules for it. Read derelict vehicle rules in Edmonton.
Proof that it is yours to sell
Whichever applies, we cannot buy a vehicle without proof that it is yours to sell.
