How much are junk cars worth in Maine?

As of October 2026, Maine sedans typically bring $225–$950, SUVs $425–$1,925 and pickups $650–$3,725, based on ~$175/ton Northeast-region scrap steel. Your offer depends on the factors below.

What sets your ME offer

• Scrap steel prices: ~$175/ton in the Northeast region right now; tight yard space and heavy road-salt corrosion drive the parts-versus-scrap split.
• 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 ME often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.
