How much is my junk car worth in Las Vegas?

It depends on the car, so no honest buyer can name one price for every junk car. For scale: of the 39 recent offers on this page, 33 were under $500 and the middle offer was $295, while the 10 cars we bought and photographed were paid $600 to $5,500. The scrap metal alone in a complete car works out to about $210 to $625, depending on weight and the day's rate. A two-minute quote gives you your own number.

How much can I get for my junk car?

Offers are built from your car's year, make, model and condition, so they range widely. The recent offers and payments above show the spread. Describe the car honestly: the offer you accept is what you are paid, as long as the car matches your answers.

How much will a junkyard pay for my car?

A yard prices mostly by weight: curb weight divided by 2,000, times its rate per ton, with adjustments for missing parts, and it may take off the cost of towing. Our guide to how a junkyard prices a car walks through the math and what yards deduct for.

How much is a scrap car worth?

At iScrap App's national average of $177.22 a ton on October 13, 2026, a 3,000-pound car is about $266 in metal, a 4,000-pound car about $354 and a 5,000-pound car about $443. Across the reported yard range of $140 to $250 a ton, those floors run from $210 to $625.

What is the scrap car price per ton in Las Vegas?

There is no official Las Vegas price list, and each yard sets its own rate. iScrap App showed a national average of $177.22 a ton for a complete car on October 13, 2026, and its yard reports ran from $140 to $250 a ton between July 25, 2026 and October 11, 2026. None of those reports was from a Nevada yard.

Does the catalytic converter change what I get?

Yes. A converter is priced by the precious metals inside it, not by weight, and a missing one lowers the offer. Leave it on the car and answer the quote's converter question honestly.

Can I sell a junk car without a title?

If the title is lost, pick "I don't have the title" in the quote and the offer tells you whether you need a Nevada duplicate first. Our no-title guide covers the options.

Does the price change at pickup?

The offer is locked once you accept, as long as what you told us is accurate. If the car doesn't match your answers, or a major part is missing, the offer is updated. How your offer is built lists what can change it.

How and when am I paid?

You're paid at pickup. The tow is free, we handle the title transfer at no cost, and you pick a pickup time from the windows offered when you accept. We buy only cars you fully own.

Real offers, and what sellers were paid

The scrap floor: weight times the rate

1. Curb weight.What the car weighs empty, from the owner's manual or the sticker inside the driver's door.
2. The rate for a complete car. Yards quote a price per ton (2,000 pounds) for a whole car with its engine, transmission, catalytic converter, battery, wheels and radiator on it.
3. Multiply. Weight in tons times the rate is the scrap floor.

The rate used on this page

$177.22 a ton, the national average for a complete car on October 13, 2026, per iScrap App, complete car. Its yard reports ran from $140 to $250 a ton between Jul 25 and Oct 11.

There is no official Las Vegas price list, and none of those reports came from a Nevada yard. Each yard sets its own rate, so treat this as a range, not a quote.

What moves your offer away from the scrap floor

Online averages disagree because each one blends different cars, rates and dates. These are the things that actually change the number for your car.

Whether the car is complete

iScrap's "complete car" still has its engine, transmission, catalytic converter, battery, radiator, wheels and wiring. A missing major part is priced as an incomplete car. See how a junkyard prices a car.

The catalytic converter

It's priced by the precious metals inside, not weight. On October 3, 2026, public price lists for loose converters showed national averages of $75.93 (iScrap App) to $103.30 (RRCats). On a whole car it is part of the complete-car price, and a missing one lowers the offer. Leave it on. More on converter value.

Year, make and model

Some models have parts that sell for years after the car stops running; others are worth mostly their metal. The quote starts from exactly what you have.

What still works

A good engine, transmission, doors or wheels on a car that won't drive still count. The condition questions ask about each one.

Your title situation

A clean title in your name is the simplest sale. Salvage, rebuilt and missing titles change what's possible. If yours is missing, our no-title guide covers the options.

How your offer is built lists what can and can't change it after you accept.

How much is a scrap car worth?: At iScrap App's national average of $177.22 a ton on October 13, 2026, a 3,000-pound car is about $266 in metal, a 4,000-pound car about $354 and a 5,000-pound car about $443. Across the reported yard range of $140 to $250 a ton, those floors run from $210 to $625.
