junk cars
Vehicles for salvage
Junk cars are vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life—too damaged, deteriorated, or costly to repair to be worth driving.
The term appears in advertising for businesses that buy such vehicles for salvage or scrap: We buy junk cars for cash.
A junk car may still have value in its parts or metal.
