How much are junk cars worth in Alaska?

As of September 2026, Alaska sedans typically bring $225–$1,000, SUVs $450–$1,975 and pickups $650–$3,850, based on ~$180/ton West-region scrap steel. Your offer depends on the factors below.

What sets your AK offer

• Scrap steel prices: ~$180/ton in the West region right now; export demand out of West Coast ports plus long tow distances shape offers.
• Vehicle weight: heavier trucks and SUVs carry more metal.
• Year, make and model: parts demand is higher for common, newer models.
• Condition: whether it runs, and whether the engine, transmission and catalytic converter are intact.
• Title status: a clean title in your name is part of how the offer is set.
• Location: metro offers in AK often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.
