What You Should Know About Scrapping Your Car In California

Figuring out exactly what to do with a junk car can be quite a headache. It’s an even bigger headache when you realize that the intricacies of junking a car change from state-to-state.

In the state of California, not only can you scrap your car by contacting a junkyard, but there also exists a cash for clunkers program within the state. In an effort to encourage drivers to purchase vehicles that produce less fog, California’s program operates as follows:

Cash For Clunkers & California

The federal government wasn’t alone in its push for a Cash for Clunkers program. California has given consumers the option to sell their car to the state for $1,000 to $1500 under the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP).

While attractive, there are some criteria you have to check off before qualifying:

  • You MUST be a California resident: As a state-run program, vehicle’s outside of California are not eligible.
  • Your vehicle must have failed a smog test: The purpose of the CAP vehicle retirement option is to get vehicles with failing smog test ratings off the road. Newer vehicles that pass the smog test are not eligible.
  • There cannot be missing parts: Your car must be completely whole, which means parting out your car beforehand is out of the question.
  • It must be driveable: You have to bring the car to the junkyard/authorized facility under its own power. No towing. No pulling. No pushing.
  • It needs to start under its own power: No jumper cables or push starts. Your car has to just turn the key and go.

When Is A Less-Than-Perfect Vehicle A Junk Car?

A vehicle becomes junk when it's reached the end of its life — it's older, non-running and its going rate has dropped so much that it's not a good candidate for repairs anymore. A vehicle like this is only good for the scrap metal in it. Your options are to junk, scrap or recycle it for cash in California.

What Kinds Of Scrap Car Buyers Should I Ignore In California?

As you look for a buyer for your salvage vehicle, keep away from companies that charge significant fees to junk your car. You should also ignore buyers that don't ask you to get the title transferred or who aren't licensed, as these are red flags. Instead, find a buyer of junk cars who is licensed and experienced enough to know how to pay for your vehicle legally and then dependably recycle it.

Can You Pay For My Vehicle If I Live In Just Outside Of California?

JunkCarMasters will come where you are wherever you are in California — location doesn't matter, thanks to our curated network of licensed junk car buyers. The driver will arrive to haul away your vehicle in one to two business days, and you'll get your money right then and there.
