New Orleans FAQs About Cash for Junk Cars
Q: Are your services available in the French Quarter area?
A: We serve the French Quarter area and the rest of New Orleans, including Uptown and Bywater.
Q: Do I need a special permit or paperwork to sell my junk car in the French Quarter of New Orleans?
A: In New Orleans, especially in historic neighborhoods like the French Quarter, you do not need a special permit to sell a junk car to us, but you must have a clear title or an official lien release if applicable. Louisiana law requires all vehicle sales to be properly documented through a transfer of ownership at the DMV. We assist with paperwork to ensure your sale complies with local regulations and help you avoid any towing fines common in tight, restricted parking zones in the city.
Q: How do you handle vehicle pickup in areas with narrow streets and heavy flooding like Mid-City in New Orleans?
A: We understand that neighborhoods like Mid-City often have narrow streets and occasional flooding, which can make car pickup challenging. Our team uses trucks equipped to navigate these tight spaces and we time pickups around the local weather, avoiding flood-prone days when possible. In fact, data shows about 15% of vehicles in New Orleans face flood-related damage, so we also offer free flood damage assessments to help you get the most cash for your car.

New Orleans Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends
In New Orleans, we see a lot of pickup trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500 coming in. These tend to be older, around 10 to 15 years, and many have high mileage over 200,000 miles. People often bring in trucks with engine trouble, rust, or crash damage. SUVs such as the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V are also common, especially models from around 2008 to 2015. These vehicles are sought after by those needing a reliable ride but frequently show signs of wear, including broken transmissions or damaged frames from minor accidents. Sedans like the Mazda 6 and Hyundai Sonata are becoming less popular, especially since some have been sitting unused for years with mechanical problems or faded paint. Interestingly, younger vehicles from 2019 or newer are rarer but tend to be in better shape, often needing only minor repairs. The market in New Orleans favors older, more affordable vehicles with issues that make repair uneconomical, which is why we often see junk cars from the early 2000s.
