Won't start, dead battery, seized engine, blown head gasket, transmission failure, electrical issues — if it can't be driven onto a flatbed, we still want to buy it.
Most cars we purchase don't run. Our offers already assume the worst, so non-running condition usually won't drop your price further.
Free towing — always
Every non-running pickup includes a free flatbed tow. You don't need to push, jump-start, or move the car at all. The driver will winch it from your driveway, yard, or street.
How much is a non-running car worth?
Even non-runners have real value — the catalytic converter, engine block, transmission, body panels, and scrap metal all generate offer dollars.

Selling a junk car in North Carolina: title & DMV rules
North Carolina requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Candler driveway.
- If the title is missing
- North Carolina uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the NC DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in North Carolina is MVR-4 (Duplicate Title) / MVR-46G (Affidavit).
- License plates
- Remove the plate and surrender it to the NC DMV — North Carolina requires plate surrender before you cancel insurance.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the DMV surrender receipt; junk buyers must also report the VIN to the DMV.
- What North Carolina salvage buyers must do
- North Carolina requires a duplicate title (MVR-4) or a Bonded Title for vehicles with no proof of ownership. Junk yards must report VINs to the DMV within 72 hours of purchase.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as NC requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the NC DMV.
