What is the value of my vehicle in Des Plaines?

Today's average offer for vehicles near Des Plaines, Illinois is $308 with pickup included. If you have a full size truck like a Dodge Ram or SUV such as a Ford Excursion, the average value is a little more at $385, but is only $261 for small and mid-size cars like a Hyundai Accent. Obviously, your vehicle's real value depends on a lot of factors:

• The year, make, and model. If we can sell your vehicle at auction, it's worth more than junk values.
• How large is the vehicle and how much does it weigh? Scrap pricing is often based on vehicle size and weight.
• Has the vehicle been in a accident? Vehicles with usable parts are often worth more money.

The state needs receipts from the shop where the new door and fender were bought. However, the person who fixed it cannot get those receipts. The vehicle does have hail damage. I have also taken the radio out as well as the back deck speakers. These were all aftermarket."

• "The engine was rebuilt within the last 600 miles of use. The tires are all in like-new condition. The truck will not pass inspection because of a vapor leak in the fuel system. The truck has a lot of rust and the floor panels have holes in them."
