Get Cash for Scrapping Your Car Near You
Every car has an expiry date – whether it’s a Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Hyundai, Mazda, or any other make. Over time, repairs become too costly, safety becomes a concern, or the rust eats away at the body. When that happens, what’s the smartest way to get rid of it? How do you scrap a car and still get fair value in return?
When Does a Car Become an End-of-Life Vehicle?
Not every vehicle that breaks down is ready for the scrapyard. Some owners see a project car, while others see a burden. Here are the most common situations where scrapping is the best choice:
Too Expensive to Repair
If the repair bill is higher than 60% of the car’s resale value, it’s usually not worth fixing. After a failed WOF or COF inspection, you might find the list of issues longer than the value of the vehicle itself. At this point, it makes more sense to scrap the car for cash.
Written Off or Total Loss
After an accident, even if the car still drives, it may no longer be safe or worth insuring. If your insurance company has declared it a total loss, it’s unlikely anyone will buy it. The best option is to scrap it and collect quick cash.
Rust Damage Beyond Repair
Some cars last decades, but rust can make them unroadworthy. When the floor, doors, and structural points are corroded, it won’t pass inspection – and repairing such damage often costs more than the car itself. That’s when scrapping becomes the only logical solution.
How to Scrap Your Car for Cash
Scrapping a vehicle doesn’t mean losing out. Done right, you can still get good money for your old, damaged, or deregistered car.
Selling to a Scrap Metal Yard
Scrap metal yards buy cars based on their weight. Once your car is towed there, it’s crushed and recycled, and you get paid according to the current scrap metal rate. Keep in mind, though, you may need to cover the towing charges, which reduces your payout.
Stripping for Parts
If you’ve got tools, knowledge, and plenty of time, you can dismantle your car and sell the parts individually. While this can earn more than a lump-sum scrap payout, it’s time-consuming, and eventually, you’ll still be left with a shell to dispose of.
