If you want to get the most cash from selling your scrap car, then you need to call a trusted car removal company that offers fair prices. It’s possible to sell your car for scrap and get good cash from its scrap value and some of its working parts and components, depending on its model.

How do you determine your scrap car’s value?

The value of your scrap car is largely determined by where you decide to sell it. You can make more cash by selling it to a licensed car removal company instead of a dealer, junkyard, or another consumer. Reputable car removal businesses in Sydney will look at the following factors to determine a fair price for your scrap car:

The basics

Car removal companies determine the make, model, and year to identify a vehicle's current market value. They will also look into the market value of the parts they can still salvage from it. Scrap cars are valued differently than used cars, especially when they have plenty of problems and not running anymore.

You might get more cash when you sell the car for scrap if it’s still a widely-used model, if there is a high demand for spare parts, or if it’s rare. Car removal companies value the year, make, and model of a vehicle as car materials can differ annually. For instance, environmentally friendly plastics are more common nowadays. Vehicles from certain years may have less aluminium or steel, which can largely determine your car’s scrap value.

Scrap metal prices

You may not care about scrap metal prices, but they are actually relevant in determining your scrap car’s going rate. Even cars that have been reduced to scrap or junk and are not good for salvaging may still mean a lot when they can become scrap metal. After all, an average car has around 300 pounds of aluminium and 2,400 pounds of steel, and these metals are recyclable into new products. That said, scrap metal prices can fluctuate depending on the supply and demand for certain metals.

Demand for parts

It makes more sense to sell a car for scrap when it’s too much trouble fixing or restoring. Its parts will still have value as everything from the radio to the battery and tyres are removable and recyclable. The market value of those components depends on the demand, so a higher demand means a higher value.
