Can I sell my junk car in Pennsylvania online?
Yes. The whole sale, from offer to pickup scheduling, happens online for any Pennsylvania address, from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to small towns. You only meet the tow driver at pickup.
Who are the junk car buyers in Pennsylvania?
Local salvage yards, auto recyclers and scrap yards, plus online instant-offer services.
Is junk car removal free in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Towing is included when you accept an offer for a car anywhere in Pennsylvania, and no tow fee is taken out of your payment.
Do you buy damaged or non-running cars in Pennsylvania?

Can I sell a junk car without a title in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania expects a title in your name for the sale. If it's lost, PennDOT issues a replacement (MV-38O (owner's duplicate title; MV-38L is for lienholders)). Keep the notarized title assignment and bill of sale; PennDOT has no separate seller notice form.

How much are junk cars worth in Pennsylvania?
As of October 2026, Pennsylvania sedans typically bring $225–$950, SUVs $425–$1,925 and pickups $650–$3,750, based on ~$170/ton Northeast-region scrap steel. Your offer depends on the factors below.
| Vehicle | Running | Not running | Wrecked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | $250–$1,100 | $200–$800 | $150–$575 |
| Sedan | $300–$1,275 | $225–$950 | $150–$675 |
| SUV / crossover | $575–$2,600 | $425–$1,925 | $300–$1,375 |
| Pickup truck | $875–$5,075 | $650–$3,750 | $475–$2,700 |
| Van / minivan | $525–$2,400 | $400–$1,775 | $275–$1,275 |
What sets your PA offer
- Scrap steel prices: ~$170/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 PA often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.

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 Pennsylvania 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
