When you have an old car that you no longer need, it can be tempting to just leave it on the side of the road, letting someone else deal with it. However, selling your scrap car is often the most profitable and easiest option—you can receive cash instantly and remove the vehicle from your property without hassle or expense. Here’s what you need to know about scrapping your car for cash!

Do your research

Doing some research is the best way to get a good price for your scrap car. You can do this by making a list of the different scrap yards in your area, or simply doing an online search. You should also consider contacting the company via email or phone call so that they can answer any questions you have before setting up an appointment.

When it's time to make contact with 3skrotpriser, Skrotbil, it's best to be prepared with as much information about the vehicle as possible. This includes when the vehicle was manufactured and what kind of engine it has, among other things.

Find a reputable dealer

Looking at different quotes can help you get a better idea of the price of scrapping your car. Sites like 3skrotpriser.se will give you the prices from three different scrapyards and let you compare them, which can be useful if one quotes more than the other. Another good tool is Skrotbil, which is an app with information about cars and scrapyards in Sweden. The app includes reviews from people who have used the scrapyard before and a map showing where they are located so it's easy to find a good place close by.

Get multiple quotes

To get the best price for your scrap car, it's important to do a little bit of research. There are several factors that can make a difference in how much you'll get paid. For example, if you're not registered as the owner on the vehicle's title, there might be an additional fee involved. And if the vehicle has been scrapped before, there could be a salvage fee applied. Do some quick research using 3skrotpriser or Skrotbil and see what they say. It should only take a few minutes and will help you get the most money possible!

Understand the process

The first step in scrapping a car is to evaluate it. Is the vehicle drivable? What are its condition and current value? Does it have any salvageable parts? If not, scrap it. If yes, then figure out how much the scrap dealer will pay for the vehicle. The price varies depending on whether or not the vehicle has parts that can be salvaged, as well as its weight and mileage.

For example, a 2008 Honda Civic with no salvageable parts would get about $100 whereas a 2004 Honda Accord with salvageable parts would get about $200 depending on weight and mileage. Generally speaking, if a car is worth more than $500 in usable parts, sell it instead of scrapping it.

Check the paperwork

Find a scrap yard in your area that can pay you the most money for the scrap metal in your old car.
Notify them of which parts of your old car are valuable, like its engine or other mechanical parts.
You may have to wait a few days before they can come tow away the vehicle, so make sure it's not blocking anyone's driveway or anything like that
Once they tow it away, take whatever belongings are left inside of it and dispose of them as well
If there's any personal items left behind that you want to keep, contact law enforcement about getting a hold of those
