What counts as a non-running car?
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 Pennsylvania: title & DMV rules
Pennsylvania requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Carlisle driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Pennsylvania does not normally require a bonded title for a junk sale. A duplicate title (MV-38O (owner's duplicate title; MV-38L is for lienholders)) or, for scrap-only sales, a licensed-recycler affidavit is the usual route. The duplicate-title paperwork in Pennsylvania is MV-38O (owner's duplicate title; MV-38L is for lienholders).
- License plates
- Remove the plate — Pennsylvania plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Keep the notarized title assignment and bill of sale; PennDOT has no separate seller notice form.
- What Pennsylvania salvage buyers must do
- A bill of sale alone is not a general substitute for a Pennsylvania title. When the title is lost and the lien is satisfied, the owner uses PennDOT MV-38O; if a lien is recorded, contact the lienholder about MV-38L and any electronic title. MV-7 is a scrap-processor reporting process, not blanket permission to sell any no-title vehicle.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as PA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current PA payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Pennsylvania.
Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the PennDOT.
