People often regard a broken down, non-drivable, or old car as junk. Shockingly, selling cars for scrappage can be an incredibly environmentally friendly and profitable endeavor. A car that may not be road-worthy, have a failed MOT, or be deemed too expensive to repair, will be of more value than one would expect.
The Profits of Selling Scrap Cars
They are worth money even if they don’t run – Cars have steel, aluminum, and copper which are always in high demand and can be recycled.
- Scrap metal prices are high – The automotive industry relies a lot on recycled materials and the price of metals depends on the market’s supply and demand.
- Parts of the car that can be used – Tires, batteries, catalytic converters, and any electronic parts that still function, can be sold for a good price.
- Reduces pollution – Licensed scrap yards recycle and dispose of old and useless vehicles, which helps reduce pollution and waste.
The Hidden Benefits of Selling Your Scrap Car
Cashing Out on A Scraped Car – Selling a scrap car is quick and can be done in less than 24-48 hours while providing easy cash.
Freeing UP Space Closest To You – Allowing the old car sitting in your driveway to go will give you more space in the driveway or garage.
Advancements Environmental-Friendly – A car is scrapped to benefit the environment as we ensure that its materials will be recycled, and dangerous fluids will be disposed of correctly.
Not Spending Money on Costly Repairs – A car that runs into you spending more maintaining or repairing it than how much it is worth- gets scrapped while saving money.
This is How to Sell Your Scrap Car for the Most Amount of Money Possible
Step 1: Shop Around for Different Quotes
Different scrap buyers and car sellers offer different prices. Make sure to get quotes from several licensed scrap yards to guarantee the best deal.
Step 2: Sell the Parts You Feel are Most Valuable Individually
If your car has functional parts and is in demand, like a working stereo system, tires, and batteries, sell them before scrapping the car.
Step 3: Pick a Scrap Yard Most Convenient for You
While some scrap yards charge for towing, others pick the vehicle up for free. Selling to a buyer that provides free collection means more scraps in your pocket.
Step 4: File the Right Paperwork
Obtain a V5C logbook (or proof of ownership) and notify the DVLA that your car has been scrapped so you won’t end up with legal issues down the line.
