These are selected completed CarGone transactions from 2026, not a representative sample, an average or a guaranteed payout. Every amount is what the seller received; what your vehicle is worth depends on its make, model, year, condition, usable parts and buyer demand at the time.
Find out what competing local buyers are willing to pay for yours. Free, no obligation, and it takes about a minute.
A scrap car isn’t priced off a sticker. Buyers look at what they can do with it — resell parts, recycle the metal, or both — and bid on that.
Popular models keep their value as parts donors long after they stop being worth fixing. A common SUV or pickup usually draws more buyer interest than a rare or discontinued model whose parts few people need.
An engine or transmission that still works, an intact body and good glass all add value. Heavy collision damage, a seized engine or major rust reduces what can be reused. Describe it honestly — an accurate description means an offer that holds up at pickup.
Every vehicle carries a base value in its steel, aluminum and other metals. Heavier vehicles carry more of it, and metal prices move with commodity markets, so that base value shifts over time. Missing components such as the catalytic converter lower it.
Engines, transmissions, doors, lights and wheels from in-demand models sell on to repair shops and owners. When a part is sought-after, buyers can pay more for the whole vehicle than its metal alone is worth.
What local yards and parts buyers need changes week to week. When several Calgary buyers want the same kind of vehicle, competition pushes offers up — which is why the same car can be worth different amounts at different times.
Towing is always free and nothing is deducted from your offer for pickup. A vehicle in a tight underground parkade, with no wheels, or well outside the city takes more work to collect, and buyers take that into account when they bid.
CarGone isn’t a single scrapyard naming its own price. It’s a marketplace: your vehicle goes in front of local Calgary buyers, and they compete for it.
Competition among buyers helps produce strong offers, but no one can promise the highest possible price for every vehicle. If you’re selling a newer car in great condition, a private sale or dealer trade-in may get you more, so it’s worth comparing.
Takes about a minute. Year, make, model and condition — running or not. Photos help but are optional.
Local Calgary buyers compete for your vehicle and we come back to you with an offer. No obligation.
Accept and we book a free tow at a time that suits you. You’re paid at pickup by cash or e-transfer.
Real payouts are a better guide than a generic price-per-tonne table, but only if you read them for what they are.
The examples above are a selection of completed Calgary transactions, chosen to show the range sellers have received. They are not a random sample, so they don’t tell you the average scrap car price in Calgary — and we don’t publish an average we haven’t verified.
The $3,300 2015 Honda CR-V is the highest scrap payout shown. Several examples fall between $650 and $1,000, and the 2005 Pontiac Vibe received $350. Two vehicles of the same model can land far apart depending on their condition and what buyers need that week.
Scrap prices also move with metal markets, so a payout from earlier in 2026 doesn’t guarantee the same amount today. The only reliable number for your vehicle is a current offer.

"CarGone got back to me same day. Was able to get a quick and fair price for my 2016 Santa Fe. Sad to see it go but happy to have that weight lifted off my shoulders."
"My Mazda 3 was a write off sitting at the repair shop due to some engine issues. Contacted CarGone and they picked it up at the repair shop and e-transferred me the money!"
"Had my grandpa's old 2008 Buick in the driveway just sitting there. Didn't think it would be worth anything but CarGone was able to get cash in my hand same day."
"I got a fair offer for my 2015 Civic! Paid cash and pickup was prompt."
"Thanks for helping me with my car! Was great dealing with you."
"Straight forward and efficient service."
"Quick to get back to me and very communicative throughout"
There’s no single price. In CarGone’s recorded transactions, sellers have received up to $3,300 for a scrap-classified vehicle, a 2015 Honda CR-V. Other selected examples include several between $650 and $1,000, and $350 for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe. Your vehicle’s value depends on its make, model, year, condition, weight, usable parts and current buyer demand. Send us the details for a free, no-obligation offer on yours.
Mainly the make, model and year, its mechanical and physical condition, how much metal it carries, demand for its reusable parts, what Calgary buyers need at the time, and how easy it is to pick up. Missing parts such as the catalytic converter lower the value.
Often, but not always. Larger vehicles carry more metal, and popular SUVs and pickups tend to have parts buyers want — the four highest payouts shown on this page are three SUVs and a pickup. A smaller car in high demand can still outsell a larger one with little reusable value.
Yes. It doesn’t need to start or drive — a flatbed tow truck collects it as-is. A non-running car can still carry valuable parts and metal, so it’s worth getting an offer.
Yes. Towing is included anywhere in Calgary and the surrounding area, and nothing is deducted from your offer for pickup.
Same-day pickup is available across Calgary. Once you accept an offer, we book the tow for a time that suits you, depending on that day’s schedule.
You’re paid at pickup, by cash or e-transfer — your choice. Have your vehicle registration and photo ID ready, and remove your licence plates and personal items: in Alberta, the plates stay with you, not the vehicle.
Yes. Offers are free and come with no obligation. If the number isn’t right for you, just say no — there’s nothing to pay and no pressure.
