How do I get cash for a junk car in Missouri?

Enter your year, make, model and MO ZIP in the form for an instant online offer. Accept it, choose a pickup window, hand over the title and keys, and you're paid at pickup. The offer amount is not reduced by towing.

Can I sell my junk car in Missouri online?

Yes. The whole sale, from offer to pickup scheduling, happens online for any Missouri address, from Kansas City and Saint Louis to small towns. You only meet the tow driver at pickup.

Who are the junk car buyers in Missouri?

Local salvage yards, auto recyclers and scrap yards, plus online instant-offer services.

Is junk car removal free in Missouri?

Yes. Towing is included when you accept an offer for a car anywhere in Missouri, and no tow fee is taken out of your payment.

Do you buy damaged or non-running cars in Missouri?

Yes: non-running, wrecked, flood- and fire-damaged cars, blown engines, failed transmissions and salvage titles. A non-running MO sedan typically brings $200–$950; a wrecked one $150–$675.

Is same-day junk car pickup available in Missouri?

Sometimes. Pickup windows depend on the local tow partner's schedule for your address. You'll see the available times, including same-day where offered, when you accept your offer.

Can I sell a junk car without a title in Missouri?

Missouri expects a title in your name for the sale. If it's lost, Missouri Department of Revenue issues a replacement (Form 108 (Application for Title) / Junking Certificate). File the Notice of Sale or Transfer (Form 5049) with the Missouri Department of Revenue.

How much are junk cars worth in Missouri?

As of October 2026, Missouri sedans typically bring $200–$950, SUVs $425–$1,900 and pickups $625–$3,675, based on ~$195/ton Midwest-region scrap steel. Your offer depends on the factors below.

Midwest region scrap market — updated October 2026. In the Midwest, dense steel-mill and shredder capacity across the Great Lakes keeps ferrous bids strong.
VehicleRunningNot runningWrecked
Compact$225–$1,100$175–$800$125–$575
Sedan$275–$1,275$200–$950$150–$675

Van / minivan$525–$2,350$400–$1,750$275–$1,250

What sets your MO offer

  • Scrap steel prices: ~$195/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 MO often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.

Selling a junk car in Missouri: title & DMV rules

Missouri requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Missouri driveway.

If the title is missing
Missouri 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 Missouri Department of Revenue issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Missouri is Form 108 (Application for Title) / Junking Certificate.
License plates
Remove your plates — Missouri plates stay with the owner for transfer.
Notice of sale / release of liability
File the Notice of Sale or Transfer (Form 5049) with the Missouri Department of Revenue.
What Missouri salvage buyers must do
Missouri uses a Junking Certificate to permanently retire a vehicle, which is the usual document when a car goes to a recycler rather than back on the road. Duplicate titles and bonded titles both run through the Department of Revenue, and notarization is common.
  • Sign the seller assignment on the title
  • Complete the odometer disclosure
  • Handle plates as MO requires
  • File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance

For the full walkthrough — paperwork, no-title options, and current MO payout ranges — read our guide to selling a junk car in Missouri.

Rules change — confirm current forms and filing windows with the Missouri Department of Revenue.
