 These are a few points to tell you if you have a junk car or not:

• Too old for the road: A junk car must be at least three years old. Most junk cars are too old, and nobody wants them because of their old makes or models. It's also very difficult to find parts such as seats and safety airbags for the old vehicle, since new seats are not built for old car models. Therefore, driving the car would risk your safety as it could give out at any moment while you are driving it, it could do it in the highway, in a moment of need or simply in the wrong time where the cost is you or your beloved's lives. These vehicles are labeled as End-of-life Vehicles (ELV.)

• Completely inoperable: Since the vehicle is masked with problems, it's barely moving anywhere, anytime soon. This means that it may continue to deteriorate and lose more value with time.
•  Damage: A junk car is severely damaged or deteriorated. The vehicle might miss significant parts such as the engine, motor, transmission or tires because of theft or deterioration. The price of repairing this vehicle is too much compared to its value, therefore, it becomes a junk car.
• Totaled car: If your insurance company titles your vehicle as a totaled vehicle, it means that the cost of repair is more than the vehicle's actual value. The company will not even offer a salvaged title for the car. A salvaged title is when an insurance company declares a vehicle as a total loss, but hands it to a rebuilder who tries to sell it with a new title. 

In conclusion

A junk car is a vehicle that does not have much value to you unless you sell it for scraps or parts. If your vehicle falls under most of the above categories, it's definitely a junk car. You can try to salvage some working parts such as the stereo system, tires, and transmission. However, you cannot repair the car to take it back on the road. If you tried to repair a junk car, you'll end up spending more money than you can recover, and the vehicle might also get damaged again, spending more time in a repair shop. So it is better for you to start looking for cash for cars in Edmonton.
