You may have an old car sitting in your driveway and wonder whether it is worth keeping or selling. Although it may seem convenient to keep an old vehicle, the reality is that an aging car can be far more expensive in repairs, maintenance, fuel, and insurance.
At We Buy Scrap Cars & Vans, we provide a quick and convenient way to turn your old, broken, vehicle into cash. If you have been pondering selling your vehicle but are unsure, here are the top reasons why you should part with your scrap car today.
Your Car is Costing You Too Much in Repairs
If you are noticing that your bill for repairs continues to go up, you should consider selling your car. Sometimes the cost to keep fixing an aging vehicle is more than getting a new one.
Get cash now and fast for your nonoperational, high maintenance, and broken cars at We Buy Scrap Vans and Cars. It’s sometimes best to sell your car to a scrap yard or auto breaker if it is more expensive to maintain than what it is worth.
Your Car is vanishingly reliable
Do you have a car that breaks down an unreasonable amount of times?
- If the answer is yes, then you need a more reliable form of transport because constantly worrying if your vehicle will start is a difficult ask.
- There comes a point where a vehicle leaving you stranded at odd locations becomes the new norm and that weapon of automotive massacre is no longer reliable.
- A car that has monolithic electrical and battery problems is bound to be unreliable.
At least a scrap yard or auto breakers can still relieve some financial burden by paying cash for your non-running vehicles
Exorbitant prices of MOT tests
MOT passed?
Some common reasons for failing an MOT are:
- Excessive corrosion or rust.
- Dismantling of engine transmission and brake issues.
- Breathing high emissions that are off the charts.
In the unfortunate event that a vehicle does end up failing an MOT and the financial expenditures are deemed too high, the most logical step would be selling or scrapping the vehicle altogether.
Your Car Loses Resale Value By the Day
Your car appreciates in value as time passes and the longer you wait, the value decreases.
- Most cars depreciate in value over time and lose any resale value after 10-15 years. If your car breaks down at regular intervals the valuation of the car is already low.
- By delaying you are increasing the amount you will have to spend on the repairs and also the resale value of the car, while waiting means spending more on the repairs of the car.
- To cash out for a decent price on your car, selling is the best option. Doing so before more value differences arise will ensure higher returns.
Your Insurance & Road Tax Is Unreasonably Higher
Older cars, in some cases, have considerably expensive insurance, and taxes and road taxes are no exception.
- Existing insurance policies cost higher due to the increased likelihood of breakdowns or accidents.
- More expensive road tax comes due to longer time spent in service for older and high emission rating vehicles.
Unwanted yearly expenditure is reduced and eliminated completely by simply getting rid of your older vehicle.
Fuel Efficiency Is Rapidly Declining
Cars tend to emit more emissions while burning more fuel which increases costs each week for older cars. Your car may be losing fuel efficiency if:
- Your refills happen more often than they should.
- Your mpg is less than average.
- The vehicle you own struggles to keep its speed.
Hundreds in fuel spending every year can be saved if you sell your old vehicle and switch to a newer and more fuel-efficient vehicle.
