The exact amount depends on year, make, model, condition, and current scrap metal prices in Michigan. Comparing at least three buyers usually gets you 15–25% more than accepting the first offer.

Do I need a title to sell my junk car in Michigan?

How fast can my car be picked up in Detroit?

Most buyers in Detroit offer free pickup within 24–48 hours of accepting an offer. Wheelzy and Peddle regularly complete same-day pickups in major metros. You get paid at the time of pickup — cash, check, or ACH.

Yes. All three top-ranked buyers include free towing anywhere in Detroit and the surrounding Michigan area. You should never pay out of pocket to have your junk car removed.
