Cash For Junk Kia Cars

Has your Kia engine given up? Has your Kia Soul been the victim of a joyride? You aren’t alone. We are the premier buyers of junk Kia cars, specializing in models with mechanical failures and theft damage.

Kias offer great value when new, but as they age, engine issues and security vulnerabilities can turn them into liabilities. We turn that liability back into an asset: Cash.

### Why Sell Your Kia to Us?

We understand the Kia market. We know that a Sorento with a blown engine still has a good transmission, good doors, and a valuable catalytic converter.

  • Engine Failure Specialists: We buy thousands of Kias with the Theta II engine defect.
  • Theft Recovery: If your insurance totaled your car due to ignition damage, we will buy the salvage.
  • Top Payouts: We pay competitively for all models.
  • Free Towing: Don’t pay to move a dead car. We handle it.

The flagship sedan.

  • Theft Damage: The lack of immobilizers in 2011-2021 models makes them easy targets. Broken steering columns and ignitions are common. we buy them.
  • Oil Consumption: Many Kias burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles before failing.
  • Electrical Glitches: Headlights flickering, UVO system failing.
