Junk Trucks, Vans and SUVs
Do you buy junk pickups, vans and SUVs?
Yes. Cash For Junk Cars Tim's LLC buys junk pickup trucks, cargo and passenger vans, and SUVs across Chicago's Southwest Side and nearby suburbs, running or not. Heavier vehicles often bring more as scrap. We tow free from driveways, alleys and business lots and pay at pickup by cash, Zelle or Cash App.
Pickups, vans and SUVs are heavier than most cars, and weight is a big part of what a junk vehicle is worth. A tired F-150, a cargo van with a dead transmission or a rusted-out SUV can often bring a better offer than a sedan in similar shape.
What we see most
- Full-size pickups that have done years of work and now need more than they’re worth.
- Cargo vans from small businesses, sometimes still fitted with shelving or racks.
- Minivans and SUVs with failing transmissions, rust or high mileage.
Our make pages go into the details for the badges we see most, such as Ford and Chevrolet.
Business vehicles
If the vehicle belongs to a company, the person signing it over needs to be able to sign for the business. Tell us on the call and we’ll go over what paperwork to have ready. Bigger commercial vehicles, like box trucks and semis, have their own page.
Selling privately instead?
A running truck with a market may be worth more to a private buyer. Our comparison of junking, selling privately or trading in can help you decide. If it doesn’t run or isn’t worth fixing, a junk sale is usually the quickest way out.
Questions people ask us
- Do you buy work vans with shelving and racks still inside?
- Yes. Tell us what's bolted in, because ladder racks and shelving can affect how the van is handled and priced.
- Is a junk pickup worth more than a junk car?
- Often, because a pickup or full-size SUV weighs more, but condition and missing parts matter too. Give us the details and we'll price it.
- Can you take a truck and a car from the same address?
- Yes. One pickup can cover several vehicles; tell us about all of them when you call.
