Two questions. Tells you exactly where you stand.
Do you have the title in your name?
Is there still a loan or lien on the car?
This includes title loans, and any bank or lender listed as lienholder.
Clean title, no lien. Have the title, a photo ID, and the keys ready at pickup — our driver brings the rest of the paperwork.
Get my cash offerA missing title usually isn't a dealbreaker. Bring a photo ID and the vehicle registration if you have it. We handle no-title sales regularly — just tell us your situation when you call.
Get my cash offerA car with an active lien or title loan can't be sold until the lender releases it. Pay off the balance, get the lien release from your lender, and the title becomes yours to sell. Once that's done, give us a call — we'll buy it.
Look at the front of your title — if a bank or lender is printed in the lienholder section, there's a lien on the car. If you financed it and haven't paid it off, assume there is one. Still unsure? Call us and we'll work through it with you.
Call 800-219-4551Without the title in hand, the quickest way to know is to contact the lender you financed through, or request a title record from your state's motor vehicle office. If you never financed the car, there's almost certainly no lien. Call us and we'll help you sort it out.
Call 800-219-4551Selling a car in Newton means signing the title over the right way. Title rules are set at the state level, so here's exactly what Iowa asks of you — and remember, when you sell to us, our driver brings the paperwork and walks you through every step at pickup.
In Iowa, sign the title in front of a notary — Iowa requires the seller signature to be notarized.
Yes — the seller signature must be notarized.
Return your plates to the state to stop registration fees.
No problem — apply for a duplicate title at your county treasurer office.
No title in hand? Have ID and registration ready and we will help with the Iowa process.

Tell us a time that works for you, anywhere in Newton or Jasper County. We come to you — you don't drive anywhere.
Selling a car in Iowa takes a few forms, and our driver brings what's needed and walks you through it. Don't have the title? That's usually workable — just tell us up front. The one thing we can't buy is a car with an active lien or title loan on it.
The tow costs you nothing — it isn't folded into the offer or taken out afterward. You're paid on the spot at pickup, before the car ever leaves your driveway.
Every car we buy may be resold at auction, used for parts, or recycled at a licensed Iowa yard. Nothing gets dumped or left behind.
Every car we look at in Newton falls into one of a few buckets below — and every one of them gets a real cash offer.
Starts, drives, and still has life left in it. These usually get our strongest offers since less work is needed before resale.
Rusted through, stripped, or simply too far gone to drive again. We still buy these and pay based on weight and scrap value.
Carries a salvage title or was written off by insurance after an accident. We buy these with or without paperwork in hand.
Blown engine, seized motor, slipping gears, or stuck in park — mechanical failures like these don't change whether we'll buy it, just the number.
Lost it or never had it? Missing paperwork slows things down a little, but it rarely stops a sale. The one exception: we can't buy a car that still has an active lien or title loan on it.
The floor on any junk car is its weight in scrap metal. As of September 2026, U.S. yards are paying roughly $150–$200 a ton for whole cars. Multiply that by your car's weight and you have the least it's worth.
Cars with good parts, a catalytic converter still on, or an engine that runs are often worth more than scrap — that's why we price every car on a call, not a chart.
A 3,300 lb sedan is 1.65 tons. At $175 a ton, that's about $290 in metal.
Sometimes. At today's rates a full-size truck or SUV can reach $500 on weight alone. Smaller cars usually need something extra — a newer year, good parts, or a running engine.
| Vehicle type | Scrap value |
|---|---|
| Compact carCivic, Corolla, Focus · 2,800 lbs | $210–$280 |
| Midsize sedanCamry, Accord, Malibu · 3,300 lbs | $250–$330 |

| Full-size SUVTahoe, Expedition, Suburban · 5,600 lbs | $420–$560 |
Scrap rates as of September 2026, updated monthly. Scrap value is a floor, not a quote — yards subtract for tires and fluids, and your actual offer depends on your car. Call 800-219-4551 for your real offer.

Newton is the county seat and largest city in Jasper County, Iowa, located 30 miles east of Des Moines in Central Iowa. Founded in 1846 as Newton City and incorporated in 1857, the community was named after Revolutionary War soldier John Newton to pair with Jasper County, named after William Jasper. The city's early growth came from coal mining in the late nineteenth century, particularly the Couch mine opened in the 1870s by the Jasper County Coal and Railway Company, which produced 70 tons daily and was once the county's largest operation.
In the twentieth century, Newton became a manufacturing hub centered on the washing machine industry. The Jasper County Courthouse, built in 1911, remains the city's most distinctive landmark. The Maytag Washing Machine Company became integral to Newton's identity, though the relationship proved complex. In 1938, martial law was declared during a Maytag strike when Governor Nelson Kraschel ordered the Iowa National Guard, complete with tanks and machine guns, to protect the company. Following World War II, Maytag Corporation expanded significantly in Newton, even persuading the city to rename its headquarters address to "One Dependability Square." However, beginning in 2001, cost-cutting measures led to workforce reductions, and Whirlpool's 2006 acquisition of Maytag resulted in the plant's closure in October 2007.
Rather than decline, Newton successfully diversified its economy. Unemployment, which peaked at nearly ten percent, dropped to 5.4% by 2013. Between 2007 and 2017, numerous companies relocated to Newton, including TPI Composites and Trinity Structural Towers, both focused on green manufacturing and wind energy. President Barack Obama visited the Trinity plant in 2009 to highlight Newton's emergence as a sustainable community. In 2010, Newton received the National Sustainable Community of the Year Award from Siemens and the US Chamber of Commerce. Today, Newton remains home to Iowa Speedway and Maytag Dairy Farms, with a population of 15,760 as of the 2020 Census.
