What sets your UT 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 UT often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.

Selling a junk car in Utah: title & DMV rules
Utah requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Utah driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Utah 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 Utah DMV issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Utah is TC-123 (Application for Duplicate Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File a notice of sale with the Utah DMV after the sale.
- What Utah salvage buyers must do
- Utah duplicates use TC-123 and can often be handled online. Utah requires dismantlers to be licensed and to report acquisitions. Where the ownership chain is broken, the DMV's bonded-title route with a surety bond is the normal path.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as UT requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
