How much are junk cars worth in Minnesota?

As of October 2026, Minnesota sedans typically bring $200–$950, SUVs $425–$1,875 and pickups $625–$3,675, based on ~$200/ton Midwest-region scrap steel. Your offer depends on the factors below.

What sets your MN offer

• Scrap steel prices: ~$200/ton in the Midwest region right now; dense steel-mill and shredder capacity across the Great Lakes keeps ferrous bids strong.
• 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 MN often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.
