How Much Is My Car Worth?
Your cash for cars offer is based on four things: the vehicle's weight, the current scrap-metal price, any salvageable parts, and its year, make, and condition. We use that same method to value every car in the Edmonton area, running or not. There is no guesswork and no lowball number.
What Your Car Is Worth: The Four Factors
Weight
A scrap vehicle is priced partly on the steel and metal it contains.
Scrap-metal price
It moves with the market and changes what any car is worth in a given week.
Salvageable parts
A car with working, in-demand parts is worth more than an identical car that has been stripped.
Year, make & condition
Together they tell us how much of the vehicle holds resale or recycling value.
This is why two cars that look the same can get different offers. A complete non-running sedan is valued differently than a stripped shell of the same model, because the complete car still has parts and metal the stripped one has lost.
Value also tracks scrap-metal pricing and parts demand across Alberta, so the same vehicle can be worth a little more or less depending on the week you sell. Whether you are looking at scrap car removal or junk car removal, the four factors apply the same way. We explain scrap car value for end-of-life vehicles, junk car value for older or unwanted cars, and non-running car value for vehicles that will not start.
What We Do Not Do
We do not lowball, and we do not post a fixed dollar promise. Any service that advertises a single guaranteed payout for "any car" is ignoring the four factors that actually set value, because no honest number can cover an old sedan and a written-off truck at once. We also do not publish fake price ranges or a price table, because scrap-metal pricing and parts demand change too often for a printed chart to stay accurate. You get a real number for your real vehicle, not a marketing figure.
How to Get an Exact Quote
To get an exact figure, give us your VIN and the vehicle's condition.
- The VIN confirms the precise year, make, model, and trim
- The condition tells us what runs, what is damaged, and which parts remain
With those two details we can price your car accurately over the phone or through the quote form. Every sale is fully documented. We complete a signed Alberta bill of sale, your plates come off the vehicle, and we explain the Notice of Disposition so liability leaves you on the sale date. The car is then responsibly recycled. Sam oversees every quote and pickup, so you are dealing with an accountable owner rather than a call centre. Free towing is included on every vehicle we buy, and you are paid at pickup by cash or e-transfer. For the full process first, see exactly how it works.
