Mercer Island FAQs About Cash for Junk Cars

Q: Do you pick up junk cars in the Mercer Island Town Center?
A: Yes, we cover the Mercer Island Town Center and the rest of Mercer Island, including East Seattle and Mercerwood.

Q: Are there any Mercer Island specific regulations we need to follow when selling a junk vehicle for cash?
A: Yes, Mercer Island Washington requires all vehicle sellers to provide a signed title and a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability form to the Department of Licensing. We can help guide you through submitting these documents online to ensure compliance with local laws, preventing future liability for you once the car leaves your possession.

We schedule vehicle pickups during off-peak times to avoid delays. Our team is also familiar with residential areas such as Island Crest Park and South Mercer and can navigate the narrow streets safely.

Mercer Island Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends*

In Mercer Island, we buy a variety of older and junk vehicles from different makes. Pickup trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 and Toyota Tacoma are still in demand, especially those between 10 and 15 years old with high mileage. Many of these trucks have engine trouble or rust from exposure to road salt. Sedans such as the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu are also common purchases, but they sometimes come with transmission issues or electrical problems after being driven for over a decade. We see a lot of SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Honda Pilot, often with frame damage or water leaks from past accidents. Compact cars like the Nissan Sentra and Hyundai Elantra remain popular in our market, though many have worn out brakes, tires, or engine mounts. Recently, older models like the 2008 Toyota Camry or 2010 Ford Escape have been trending downward in value due to high repair costs, but they are still commonly bought for parts or scrap. Our experience shows that vehicles with serious damage or excessive rust tend to sell best for scrap or parts resale.
