Cash For Junk Cars Medina OHThe Three Things That Set the Price
Weight, what is still attached, and the scrap steel market. A mid-size sedan weighs about 3,300 pounds; a half-ton pickup about 5,000; a one-ton diesel more. The engine, transmission and catalytic converter are worth more as parts than as steel, so a complete car beats a stripped shell by $100 to $300. The recyclers along Chatham Road, Lake Road and out toward Sprague Road set what they pay per ton every month, and that number moves.
What Scrap Steel Is Bringing This Month
The federal producer price index for iron and steel scrap (FRED series WPU1012) stood at 581 in September 2026, down about five percent from March. Offers on this site move with it, which is why we quote a firm number for your car on the day you call rather than printing one here.

Price questions
Does distance from Medina change the price?
No. The tow is built in countywide. A Homerville farm truck and a Brunswick sedan are priced on the same weight-and-parts basis.
Will I get more parting the car out?
Only if you have the tools, the space and months to list, ship and guarantee parts. For most owners the whole-car price is higher once time is counted.
