Do you buy junk pickups, vans and SUVs?
Yes. Pickups, minivans, cargo vans and SUVs are all vehicles we take. They weigh more than a car, so the offer reflects that. Tell us the model, whether it starts and whether the catalytic converter is on it, and we tow it free and pay at pickup.
Why heavier vehicles price differently
A full-size pickup or a three-row SUV has hundreds of pounds more metal than a compact car, and many carry larger catalytic converters. Both facts lift the number. The flip side is condition: a rolled truck with a bent frame still has weight, but loading it is harder.
What to tell us
Make, model and year, the cab and bed style for pickups, and whether the truck runs. Mention a dually axle, a plow mount or a service body. Say whether the vehicle is two-wheel or four-wheel drive if you know.
Local notes
Merrillville restricts commercial vehicles over 8,000 pounds from parking in residential districts overnight, and Hobart bars trucks over 11,000 pounds from parking within 200 feet of a dwelling, so a work truck that has sat in a driveway may already be a problem with the town. Moving it out removes the problem.
Bigger than a pickup?
Cab-over box trucks and semi tractors are on a separate page, because the tow and the paperwork differ.
Questions people ask
- Does a lifted truck or a work van with shelving change the offer?
- Add-ons rarely add value to a junk sale. Tell us what is on it and we tell you if it matters.
- A van with a ladder rack, do I take it off first?
- No. Leave it and tell us it is there.
- My SUV is a hybrid. Different?
- It can be, because of the battery pack. Mention it on the form.
