Do you have an old, damaged, or nonfunctioning vehicle? What should I do with a scrap vehicle? No matter if it was in an accident, failed a MOT test, or is just too costly to repair, a scrap vehicle does not have to remain unused on your driveway. There are plenty of innovative and simple ways that are even profitable and worth considering.
List it for Sale to a Licensed Scrap Yard
For the majority of people, the easiest way to dispose of their scrap vehicle is to sell it to a licensed vehicle scrapper or recycler. These services will:
- Offer a complimentary estimate and pick up the vehicle.
- Handle the legal documents.
- Tend to all payments for the scrap metal and any usable parts of the vehicle.
Dismantle and Sell the Parts
If you consider yourself advanced with engines and mechanical instruments, it is worth removing some of the valuable parts from the vehicle and selling those that are working separately. Components such as:
Audio systems
Sectional steel wheels
Batteries
Catalytic converters
Seats and interior
… are all recognized as valuables and could be sold for a bit more than estimated. Just bear in mind that the leftover parts will have to be disposed of safely.
Donate It to Charity
Specific charities even accept junk vehicles as donations. They scrap cars for cash and/or sell parts to make donations. For your generosity, you will get a receipt (if your country has tax donations).
Trade It In
Even if your vehicle is a total wreck, some dealerships will allow you to trade in junk cars as part of the payment for a new car. They’ll credit your account toward your purchase. The offset value isn’t much, but if you intend to buy a new car, this can help you get something out of a bad situation.
Recycle It Responsibly
When using an authorized service to dismantle your vehicle, you ensure that it will be recycled responsibly. Ecoline vehicle scrapping values removing fluids, hazardous materials, and reusing metals—thereby decreasing the vehicle’s ecological impact.
