Want cash for a junk car in Eden Prairie? Cash For A Junker will make you a free offer, usually within minutes, tow the car at no cost and pay you on the spot. Same-day pickup is often available, and there are no hidden fees or towing deductions.
Eden Prairie is a commuter city, with I-494, US-169, US-212 and Highway 5 all running through it. Those highways mean steady miles and winter crashes, and cars that spend years on salty roads eventually develop rust that’s too costly to repair. Many households here also have an older car that’s been replaced but never sold. Whether it’s a worn-out sedan or an SUV with a dead transmission, you can have it gone without listing it or meeting strangers.

Clearing Out Old Cars From Eden Prairie Garages
We buy junk cars across all of Eden Prairie, including apartments and townhomes near Eden Prairie Center and the neighborhoods around the city’s lakes and parks. Our trucks reach you by I-494, US-169, US-212 and Highway 5, and same-day pickup is often available.
In Eden Prairie, the junk car is often the one nobody drives anymore. It was replaced with something newer, got parked in the garage or on the side of the driveway, and hasn’t moved since. After a winter or two, the battery is dead, the tires are low and the brakes may be stuck. That’s fine. We can tow it as it sits.
Other reasons we pick up cars here:
- High mileage from daily commutes on I-494 and US-212.
- Crash damage from winter accidents on busy highways.
- Rust on brake lines, subframes and exhaust from years of road salt.
- Major repair estimates for engines, transmissions or electronics.
Planning the pickup is easy. Tell us where the car is parked and how to reach it, especially if it’s deep in a three-stall garage or behind a boat or trailer. If you live in a townhome community, let the association know a tow truck is on the way. Have the title ready to sign and the keys if you can find them.
Once the car is gone, report the sale to DVS within 10 days and cancel the insurance. Our how to sell a junk car in Minnesota guide has the full checklist. Thinking of selling a running car instead? See sell my car. For an offer, call (763) 226-3586.

Pricing
What decides your junk car’s value
Every offer is based on your specific vehicle, not a flat rate. These are the factors that move the number.
Year, make and model
Some models have parts that are in steady demand, which raises what they are worth.
Weight
Heavier vehicles carry more steel, so trucks, SUVs and vans usually bring more as scrap.
Whether it runs
A running or easy-to-fix vehicle can be resold or parted out, which beats scrap value.
Damage and rust
Frame damage, fire or heavy rust lowers the value of the body and parts.
Missing parts
The catalytic converter, engine, transmission and wheels each add real value when present.
Scrap metal prices
Steel and metal prices move with the market, so we price on today’s numbers.

Eco-friendly car recycling
Your junker, recycled the right way
A car left sitting in a yard slowly leaks oil, coolant and battery acid. When you sell it to us, it goes to a licensed recycler and gets handled under Minnesota environmental rules. Industry groups estimate roughly 80% of a vehicle by weight can be recycled.
Fluids captured
Oil, coolant, fuel and brake fluid are drained and collected, so they never reach the soil or storm drains.
Hazards removed
Batteries, mercury switches, refrigerant and tires are pulled and sent to proper recycling.
Parts reused
Good engines, panels and parts go back on the road, which saves the energy of making new ones.
Metal recycled
The steel and other metals are crushed, shredded and melted down into new products.
