Todd Bialaszewski, the marketing manager at CarScrappers.com said of the report, “Two of the most common questions our team gets asked are how much junk cars are worth and if they can get more than $500. So, this opens some eyes to those questions. True junk cars don’t carry much value beyond their weight in metal. They are at the end of their life, and so are their parts, and this shows that.”

The report provides in-depth insights into which cars are scrapped in the largest numbers, the average prices that they brought for their owners, and the prices paid for each of these cars in the various major cities that most were sourced from.
