What Types of “Junk” Cars Does Clutch Buy?

At Clutch, we buy vehicles that traditional dealers and scrap yards usually turn away. As long as it starts, drives, and you can prove ownership, your vehicle might 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Old or outdated (even 20+ years old)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 2008 Civic that’s been in the family forever, or a 2017 Mazda that was repaired after an accident, we’ll make you an offer if it’s roadworthy.

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 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 Toronto 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.

Visit our sell or trade page and enter a few details about your vehicle—make, model, year, mileage, and condition.

If your vehicle qualifies, you’ll get an instant, no-obligation offer. We evaluate based on current market conditions—not just scrap value.

Common Questions About Selling Junk Cars 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.
