A junk car typically refers to a vehicle that is old, damaged, or no longer operational to the extent that it is no longer practical or economical to repair or maintain. Junk cars may have significant mechanical issues, extensive damage from accidents, or simply be in a state of disrepair due to neglect or age. These vehicles are often deemed unfit for use on the road and are considered to have little to no resale value. Instead, they are typically sold to junkyards or scrap metal dealers for recycling or dismantling.
