## How much we pay for junk cars in Sterling Heights

Cash for junk cars in Sterling Heights typically runs $200 to $2,500 depending on year, make, model, condition, and current scrap metal rates. We grade cars D to A:

### Grade D: Scrap / Shell

End-of-life junk cars, missing parts, missing catalytic converter, or frame rusted through. Valued for scrap weight alone.

- Compact / Sedan: $200 to $500+
- SUV / Van / Truck: $350 to $700+

### Grade C: Non-Runner

Junk cars that still have the engine, transmission, and catalytic converter. They just don't run. Most of what we buy across Metro Detroit.

- Compact / Sedan: $300 to $500+
- SUV / Van / Truck: $500 to $800+

### Grade B: Mechanic's Special

Cars that run but have a major problem. Blown head gasket, transmission slip, heavy body damage, or rocker rust eating the frame.

- Compact / Sedan: $500 to $1,000+
- SUV / Van / Truck: $800 to $1,500+

### Grade A: Road-Ready

Cars that drive, have a clean Michigan title, and no major mechanical failures. Toyota and Honda often pay top of range.

- Compact / Sedan: $1,000 to $3,500+
- SUV / Van / Truck: $1,500 to $5,000+


## How the process works in Sterling Heights

1. **Call us.** Tell us year, make, model, condition, your Sterling Heights ZIP code, and whether the catalytic converter is still attached. We quote a firm cash price on the spot.
2. **We dispatch the flatbed.** Most Sterling Heights pickups happen the same day you call. We come to you. No tow fees.
3. **Cash on the spot.** Our driver verifies the car, hands you the agreed cash amount, you sign the Michigan title, and we load. Usually 10 to 15 minutes on-site.

## What we buy in Sterling Heights

Any junk car, any condition. Running, non-running, wrecked, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, salvage title, rebuilt title, expired registration, frame rust, missing parts, no keys, abandoned vehicles. We particularly understand Michigan rust patterns — the Sterling Heights cars we buy have seen the same MDOT salt and freeze-thaw cycles as every other Metro Detroit vehicle.

## Michigan title rules

- **Clean Michigan title in your name:** gets you the highest cash offer.
- **Lost title:** apply for a duplicate using Form TR-11L through the Michigan SOS. Takes 3 to 5 business days.
- **No title at all:** sometimes still workable if you have current Michigan registration plus matching photo ID. Call to confirm before pickup.
- **Salvage / rebuilt title:** we buy these every week. The title type changes the offer, not whether we buy.
- **Plates:** stay with you. Michigan plates are personal property, not vehicle property.
