Transmission Shifter Dial Failure
$500 - $1,000Newer electronic rotary shifters can fail, preventing the driver from putting the car in gear or park.
Oil Filter Housing Cracks
$600 - $1,200The plastic oil filter housing is prone to cracking, which causes significant oil leaks into the engine valley.

Chrysler in Chicago
Chrysler vehicles, especially the 300 and the Pacifica minivan, are often used for luxury transport and family duties throughout the Chicago area. They provide a refined ride that makes the winter commute a bit more tolerable.
We've been buying Chrysler vehicles across Chicago and Cook County for years. Our team knows the local market, the common problems Chrysler owners face, and how to offer fair prices quickly. Whether you're in downtown Chicago, the North Shore, western suburbs, or anywhere in Cook County, we can pick up your Chrysler today.
The Chrysler Secondary Market in Chicago
The Chicago secondary market for Chrysler vehicles is influenced by several local factors. In Cook County, there is a high demand for Chrysler parts, particularly body panels and cooling system components that are frequently damaged during Chicago's winter "fender benders." Because Chrysler vehicles are a common sight from the Magnificent Mile to the suburbs, there's a constant need for salvageable parts to keep other local vehicles on the road. We track the weekly fluctuations in scrap metal prices at Chicago-area processing centers to ensure our Chrysler offers remain the most competitive in the region. Additionally, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has strict guidelines for vehicle disposal, and our recycling process for Chrysler cars fully complies with all local environmental regulations, ensuring that fluids and hazardous materials are handled safely.
Chrysler Maintenance vs. Cash Buyout
One of the most common questions Chicago Chrysler owners ask is whether they should invest in repairs or sell the vehicle for junk. With average Chrysler repairs in the Chicago metro area ranging from $2,000-$8,000, the math often favors selling. Local labor rates in Chicago are among the highest in the Midwest, which quickly inflates the cost of even routine Chrysler maintenance. For instance, a transmission overhaul or a major engine repair on an older Chrysler can easily exceed 60% of the vehicle's fair market value. By choosing to junk your Chrysler now, you avoid the "sunk cost" trap—investing thousands into a vehicle that may develop another major fault in a few months. Our instant cash offers provide a clean break and immediate capital for your next vehicle purchase.

How We Recycle Your Chrysler
We operate one of Chicago's most efficient automotive recycling networks, ensuring that every Chrysler we purchase is processed with environmental responsibility.
Every Chrysler we buy goes through a rigorous recycling process designed to maximize value and minimize waste. Beyond the primary steel and aluminum content, your Chrysler contains specialized materials like platinum, palladium, and rhodium in the catalytic converter, as well as copper wiring and various high-grade plastics. In the Chicago salvage industry, Chrysler vehicles are prized for their high-quality core components. We work with a network of local processors who specialize in refurbishing Chrysler starters, alternators, and electronics. This "circular economy" approach in Chicago means your junk car isn't just waste—it's a resource that supports local jobs and provides affordable parts for other Chrysler owners in the community.

Recent Chrysler Buyouts in Chicago
"Last week, we assisted a customer in Summit who was looking to sell a Chrysler 200. The vehicle had been a reliable commuter through the Cook County area for over a decade, but a sudden transmission failure left it immobilized in a tight rear alley. Our local team arrived in Summit within 2 hours, navigated the narrow Chicago streets with a specialized flatbed, and provided a cash payout on the spot. This is a common scenario in neighborhoods like Morton Grove and Ford Heights, where older Chrysler models are frequently retired due to the high cost of urban wear and tear."

Common Questions: Junking a Chrysler in Chicago
- How much is my junk Chrysler worth in Chicago today?
- Junk Chrysler values in Chicago currently range from $800 to $15000. These values are determined by the current spot price of scrap steel in the Midwest, the demand for Chrysler specific salvage parts (like headlamp assemblies or transmission cores), and the vehicle's specific configuration. Cars in Chicago Ridge or South Chicago Heights often see higher offers if they have premium trim levels or valuable catalytic converters.
- Do you buy Chrysler vehicles that don't run?
- Absolutely. We buy non-running Chrysler vehicles daily. Whether your Chrysler has a seized engine, blown head gasket, or catastrophic transmission failure, we provide free towing and cash on the spot. We specialize in removing non-operational Chrysler cars from driveways, alleys, and underground parking garages across the Chicago metro area.

- We buy ALL Chrysler models including 200, 300, 300M, Aspen, Cirrus, and 11 more. Any year, any condition, and any mileage. If you own a Chrysler that is too expensive to repair, we are interested in purchasing it today for its salvage and recycling value.
- Is it really better to junk my Chrysler than repair it?
- For most Chicago Chrysler owners with vehicles over 12 years old, the answer is yes. Local repair costs for Chrysler models often range from $2,000-$8,000.
