Metropolis Auto pays cash for cars in Burnaby and nearby cities. We buy scrap cars, junk cars, damaged cars and cars that don’t run. Send us the year, make, model and a photo, and we give you a quote. Our flatbed picks up the car at your place, and you are paid on the spot before we take it away.
We focus on what most buyers find hard to deal with: cars that don’t run, cars with crash damage and old forklifts sitting in a warehouse. One clear quote, a pickup that suits you, and payment before anything leaves.

How to Sell Your Car for Cash in Burnaby
Selling a car you no longer want should not take weeks. With us, it takes three simple steps.
- 01
Tell Us About Your Car
Call us or fill out the quote form. Tell us the year, make, model, and whether the car starts and rolls. A few photos help us give you a more accurate number.
- 02
Get Your Cash Offer
We look at the details and give you a clear cash offer. If you like the price, we pick a pickup time that works for you.
- 03
We Pick Up and You Get Paid
Our driver comes to your home, parking lot or business. We check the car and your papers, sign the transfer form with you, and pay you before the car leaves. That is it. No ads, no strangers, no test drives.
Cash for Junk Cars in Any Condition
Most cars we buy are not in great shape, and that is fine. If it has four wheels and you want it gone, give us a call.
We buy cars that are:
- Old and no longer worth fixing
- Not running, with engine or transmission problems
- Damaged in an accident
- Written off after a crash, as long as you still own it
- Sitting for months or years without being driven
- Failing to pass inspection
We buy all kinds of vehicles:
- Cars and sedans
- Hatchbacks and coupes
- SUVs and crossovers
- Pickup trucks
- Minivans and cargo vans

What Changes Your Cash Offer?
Every car is different, so every offer is different. These are the main things that shape the price:
- Weight of the car. Heavier cars usually have more metal value.
- Year, make and model. Some models have parts that are always in demand.
- Condition. A car that runs or rolls is easier to move and often worth more.
- Missing parts. The engine, transmission, catalytic converter and wheels all add value.
- Location and access. A car in an open driveway is simpler to pick up than one deep in an underground parkade.
- Metal prices. The price of scrap metal changes from week to week.

What You Need on Pickup Day
In British Columbia, selling your car to us is simple when your papers are ready. Please have:
- 01Your vehicle registration. This is the ICBC paper with your car’s details. Every registered owner needs to sign it.
- 02Photo ID that matches the name on the registration.
- 03The ICBC Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T). Our driver brings it and fills it out with you.
After the sale, take your licence plates off the car. In BC, plates belong to ICBC, not the car. Then visit an Autoplan broker to cancel or move your coverage.
Lost your papers, or selling a car for a family member who passed away? Our BC paperwork guide explains each case. You can also read ICBC’s own steps for selling a vehicle.
The Price We Quote Is the Price We Pay
Many people worry that a buyer will drop the price once the truck shows up. We don’t do that. If your car matches what you told us, you get the full amount we quoted. Any pickup cost is explained before you book, never at your door.
The only things that can change a quote are a different car than described, big parts missing that were not mentioned, or papers that don’t show you can sell the car. If anything like that comes up, our driver explains it before the car is loaded, and you are free to say no.

Read the storyHow much cash can I get for my car in Burnaby?
It depends on the car. The weight, year, make, model, condition and missing parts all change the price, and so do current scrap metal prices. The fastest way to know is to call Metropolis Auto at (236) 242 0416 or send the details and photos through our quote form. We give you a clear number, and if the car matches the description, that is the amount you get.
Is there a cost for pickup?
Any pickup cost depends on the car, where it is parked and how easy it is to reach, and Metropolis Auto explains it in your quote before you book. You will never hear about a new fee at your door. If your car is in a hard spot, like a low underground parkade, tell us when you call so we can plan the right truck.
Do you buy cars that don’t run?
Yes. Many of the cars we buy in Burnaby have not started in months. A dead battery, a blown engine or a bad transmission does not stop us from making an offer. Just let us know if the car can roll and steer, because that helps us choose the right truck and tools. Cars with flat tires or locked wheels can still be moved.
What papers do I need to sell my car?
In BC you need your vehicle registration signed by every registered owner, and photo ID that matches the name on it. Our driver brings the ICBC Transfer/Tax Form and fills it out with you at pickup. If your papers are lost, or the owner has passed away, call us first. Our BC paperwork guide also explains what to do in each case.
How do I get paid?
You are paid on the spot at the time of pickup, before the car is loaded on our truck. First our driver checks the car and your ID, then you sign the transfer form together, then you get paid. You keep a signed copy of the form as proof that you sold the car to Metropolis Auto.
How fast can you pick up my car?
We often send your cash offer the same day you contact us. The pickup time depends on where the car is, how easy it is to reach, and how busy our trucks are. Call Metropolis Auto early in the day, tell us the time that suits you, and let us know any building rules we need to follow.
Do I need to be there when you pick up the car?
Usually, yes, because the registered owner needs to sign the transfer form and show ID. If you cannot be there, call us before booking. In some cases another person can hand over the car if the papers are already signed, but we need to talk it through first so the sale is done properly.
Should I take my licence plates off?
Yes. In British Columbia, licence plates belong to ICBC, not to the car. Take them off before our driver leaves, then visit an Autoplan broker to cancel or move your coverage. Never let any buyer tow away your car with your plates still on it, because the plates stay linked to your name.
