Scrap Car Price

We take a number of factors in to consideration when making a valuation on your scrap old cars. Firstly we will look at the condition of the vehicle and its make, model and registration. Newer and more valuable vehicles obviously fetch higher valuations as the parts can be re-used more easily. The condition is of importance to us as where possible we try to recycle car parts. This gives us the opportunity to do our bit for the environment and recoup the money spent buying your scrap old car. In particular we will look for any damage to the external shell of the vehicle and check to see which parts are still in tact.

Another key factor for us is the value of scrap. All vehicles that enter the yard are deconstructed and parts are sent off to various locations around the world. The core metals that make up the vehicle are crushed and sent off to be recycled. The scrap value of car metals fluctuates depending on the current economic climate and therefore becomes a key factor in the valuations in which we are able to make. This is often why you see the rates offered by scrap yards chop and change from month to month.

Parts are essentially a key part of our valuations as we aim to provide existing vehicle owners with reconditioned parts. The condition and type of parts in your vehicle can be more popular than others as they could be for a make and model that attracts large buyers of second hand parts. When vehicles are broken in the yard all parts are checked to see whether they could be re-used or not.

As you can see there are a number of key factors in generating a valuation of your scrap car price.
