Cash for cars that will not survive another Iowa winter
Salt-rotted floor pans, hail dents, and trucks that quit on a gravel edge of town. The yard prices the body.
Central Iowa cars age on calcium chloride and freeze-thaw, not just miles. A vehicle that still moves in October can be a no-start by March, sitting in a Waukee driveway or behind a Newton garage where the title is in a kitchen drawer. Say if it runs, if you have the title, and if a tow truck can reach it without crossing a soft lawn.
We do not publish a per-ton car price. Steel moves, and each yard writes its own ticket. Catalytic converters and loose parts should be mentioned, not stripped off and hidden — yards and state rules both care about that.
Local prices vary by yard. Send a photo for a quote. Car-body prices move with the steel market, and the yard’s scale that day is the number that counts.
