Junk car makes we buy, from Toyota to Freightliner
Which car brands do you buy?
All of them. Chicago Junk Car Buyers buys every make of junk car, pickup, van and SUV on Chicago's Far South Side, plus motorcycles, RVs and commercial trucks, running or not. The make helps set the price, but it never decides whether we'll come. Free towing, and you're paid at pickup.
Your make and model

Towing is free, and you're paid when the truck collects the car.

Japanese makes
We buy: Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Scion, Suzuki.
- Hybrids such as a Prius or a hybrid Camry carry a high-voltage battery pack. Tell us if it's original, replaced or already removed, because it changes what the car is worth to us.
- If the catalytic converter was cut off, say so on the call. It's one of the parts a junk offer counts, so a missing one lowers the number, and it's better to know before the truck comes.
American makes
We buy: Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln, and brands no longer made, such as Pontiac, Saturn, Mercury, Oldsmobile and Plymouth.
- Body-on-frame pickups and big SUVs weigh more than a compact car, and weight is part of every junk offer. Our page on trucks, vans and SUVs explains why they often price well.
- A brand that isn't sold anymore doesn't stop a sale. We buy the car for its metal and parts, not to put it back on a dealer lot.
Korean makes
We buy: Hyundai, Kia, Genesis.
- If the engine or the transmission is what stopped the car, our guide to a blown engine or failed transmission helps you check whether the repair is worth paying for before you sell.
- Keyless models can lock the steering and shifter when the fob is lost. That's fine; tell us, and see selling with no keys.
European makes
We buy: Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Mini, Fiat, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover.
- On an older European car, parts and labor for one big repair can cost more than the car is worth. That's the point where selling as is makes sense, so get the quote in writing and compare.
- Tell us about any parts already pulled, such as wheels, the stereo or the converter, so the number fits the car as it sits.
Motorcycles
We buy: Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Triumph, Indian, Ducati, and dirt bikes of any brand.
- Most motorcycles in Illinois are titled, including off-highway bikes bought since January 1, 1998. Our motorcycle page covers the papers and how bikes come out of gangways and garages.
RVs, campers and commercial trucks
We buy: Motorhomes and trailers from Winnebago, Jayco, Forest River, Coachmen, Thor, Keystone, Fleetwood and others; trucks from Freightliner, International, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack, Volvo, Isuzu, Hino and others.
- These need a different tow, which we arrange before pickup. See RVs and campers and box trucks and semis for what we'll ask.
About makes and models
Is there a make you won't buy?
No. We buy every make, foreign or domestic, current or discontinued, as long as you can show the vehicle is yours. What we check is the papers, not the badge.
Does the make change the offer?
Yes, along with the model, the year, the weight, the condition and the parts that are still on it. Two cars of the same make can be worth different amounts. Describe yours and we'll price that one.
Do you buy hybrid and electric cars?
Yes. Tell us it's a hybrid or electric, and whether the battery pack is original, so the driver knows what's coming and the offer fits the car.
