At We Buy Scrap Cars & Vans, we make it easy to get the best value for your car, no matter its condition.
What is Car Salvage Value?
Car salvage value refers to the amount your car is worth when sold for parts or scrap. It’s typically calculated as a percentage of the car’s market value before it was damaged or became non-functional. Salvage yards and auto breakers buy vehicles to dismantle for usable parts and recycle the rest, making it an eco-friendly option for getting rid of your car.
Factors That Affect Your Car’s Salvage Value
- Vehicle Weight: The heavier the vehicle, the more metal it contains, which increases its value.
- Condition of Parts: If your car has salvageable components like an engine, transmission, or tires, its value may be higher.
- Make and Model: Popular cars with high demand for parts often fetch a better price.
- Type of Vehicle: Larger vehicles like vans and SUVs generally have higher salvage value.
- Scrap Metal Prices: Fluctuating market rates for scrap metal can affect the amount you receive.
