Our junk car evaluation system uses all the details you enter to determine your value, plus your location and car sale history of similar makes and models. The types of damage, the area of damage, and whether you have any mechanical or electrical problems also impact the car value calculations. Market demand at the time of the offer is also something that decides the value of your car. For example, a 22-year-old sedan, if it doesn’t start and has major damage, won’t get as much cash as a low mileage sports car that is only a few years old with slight collision damage.
