Expert Kia Junk Car Buyers

As specialist buyers of South Korea vehicles, we have deep knowledge of Kia's engineering history dating back to 1944.Hyundai's sister brand with strong design focus. Optima/K5, Sorento, and Telluride are popular models.

Kia has long been a key player in the Mainstream market. However, like all machinery, they eventually reach end-of-life.When the time comes, it's crucial to sell to a buyer who understands the salvage value of the components.

Market Value Analysis

Kia vehicles, despite being in active production, hold specific scrap value characteristics. Our valuation model accounts for:

  • Precious Metals: Catalytic converters in Kia cars often contain high volumes of Platinum and Palladium.
  • Aluminum Content: Many Kia parts are aluminum, which trades higher than steel.
  • Global Demand: We export components for Kia to markets where these cars are still heavily driven.

Currently, we are seeing <strong>medium</strong> demand for Kia parts.This allows us to be extremely aggressive with our pricing.

What We Buy: Kia Condition Guide

We classify Kia purchasing into three categories. You don't need to clean it up; we buy in any state:

Running & Driving

Highest value. Resold as auction units or daily drivers.

Mechanical Failures

Blown engines, slipping transmissions. Bought for parts.

Wrecked / Totaled

Collision damage. Bought for scrap metal weight.

Even as a non-runner, your Kia has significant value. We specifically pay more for:

  • Sedans
  • SUVs

Frequently Asked Questions: Selling Junk Kias

How much is my junk Kia worth?
Junk Kia values typically range from $200 to $15,000 depending on the model, year, condition, and current scrap metal prices. Popular models like Carnival and EV6 often fetch higher prices due to parts demand. We evaluate each vehicle individually and always aim to offer the highest fair market value.
Do you buy Kia cars that don't run?
Yes! We buy Kia vehicles in any condition. Whether your Kia has a dead engine, blown transmission, severe body damage, or simply won't start, we'll make you an offer. Non-running vehicles are often worth more than people expect due to valuable parts like the catalytic converter, alternator, and body panels.
Do I need a title to sell my Kia?
While having a title gets you the best offer, we can often purchase Kia vehicles without one in Illinois. You'll need valid ID and proof of ownership such as registration. Contact us to discuss your specific situation - we've helped thousands sell their vehicles without titles.
Are Kia parts valuable for salvage?
Kia vehicles have excellent parts demand in the salvage market. Components like catalytic converters, engines, transmissions, body panels, and electronic modules are highly sought after. This is why Kia junk cars often command higher prices than competing brands - the parts have proven resale value in the aftermarket.
How quickly can you pick up my Kia?
We offer same-day pickup throughout Cook, DuPage, and Will counties for calls made before 2 PM. Otherwise, we guarantee next-business-day pickup. Our flatbed tow trucks can safely transport any Kia condition - running, non-running, totaled, or otherwise.
