What Types of “Junk” Cars Does Clutch Buy?
At Clutch, we buy vehicles that traditional dealers and scrap yards often turn away. As long as your car starts, drives, and you can prove ownership, it may be worth more than you think.
We’ll buy your car if it’s:
- Old or outdated (even 20+ years old)
- High mileage (300,000+ km is okay)
- Worn or cosmetically rough
- Rebuilt after a previous write-off (must be road-legal)
- No longer worth selling privately, but still drivable
Whether it’s a 2005 Corolla that’s been through it all or a 2018 Hyundai with some battle scars, if it runs, we’ll take a look.
We won’t buy your car if:
- It doesn’t run or needs to be towed
- It still has a salvage title (not rebuilt/certified)
- You don’t have proof of ownership or registration
- It has severe frame damage or major safety issues
Why Sell Your Junk Car to Clutch?
If your car still runs, don’t settle for scrap value. Most “cash for cars” or junk car buyers in Vancouver will base their offer on the weight of your vehicle—often just a few hundred dollars. At Clutch, we do things differently.
We evaluate your vehicle based on its market resale value, not just metal. That means you could get more money, a better experience, and avoid the hassle.

FAQs About Selling Your Junk Car to Clutch
What counts as a junk car?
A junk car is typically an older vehicle that’s high-mileage, worn out, or no longer worth selling privately. It might have cosmetic damage, rust, or minor mechanical issues—but as long as it still runs, it will qualify for an offer from Clutch.
Do you buy salvage cars?
Yes—as long as the vehicle has been rebuilt and is legally roadworthy. We do not accept vehicles with an active salvage title or those that haven’t passed inspection. If your salvage vehicle has been repaired and can be registered and driven, you’re good to go.
Does my car need to run to get an offer from Clutch?
Yes. We only buy drivable vehicles—they must start, move, and stop safely on their own. We don’t buy non-running vehicles or those that need towing.
What if my car is worth less than $1,000?
If your vehicle qualifies but is valued under $1,000, you can still sell it to Clutch by dropping it off at one of our locations.
How and when do I get paid?
Once we verify the condition of your vehicle at pickup or drop-off, in most cases you’ll receive instant payment.
Do I need ownership or registration?
Yes. To sell your vehicle to Clutch, you must provide valid proof of ownership and a government-issued ID. This is required even if the vehicle is old or previously written off.
Can I sell my junk car even if it’s damaged?
Yes—minor cosmetic or mechanical damage is totally fine. We regularly buy cars with dents, faded paint, broken A/C, or other signs of wear. As long as it drives and has no major safety issues, it should be eligible.
