What Is Your Scrap Car Worth?

What Is Your Scrap Car Worth?

 

The massive need for scrap metal, plastics and for recycling to be conducted to the extreme due to amongst other things, global warming, is what has caused the scrap cars industry to flourish. If you need to sell your car but do not want the hassle of any come backs then now is surely the time to scrap it rather than anything else. The problem is, how do you find out the value of your scrap car or van, when you are no expert and only a few of the metal prices are quoted on the stock exchange, such as Aluminium, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Tin and Nickel.Even if all the prices were quoted, how do you know how heavy your car actually is and what percentage is recyclable. How much of it is going to cost to dispose of even?

 

Modern cars are made using a lot of steel which isn’t an expensive metal and recycled in abundance, a kilo  is priced very low at just a few pence. You may check the prices offered by different Scrap Car Buyers or scrap metal companies on the web, as there are hundreds of them within the UK. The problem is, how heavy is your car or van, how much of it is cheap steel or better material such as copper or the like? This is why you should deal with a company that knows the exact facts and can offer you a competitive price accordingly, like Scrap Car Buyers who are experts in this field.

 

Most components on your scrap car are made of Aluminium such as the gearbox sometimes the engine and other ancillary parts, this is to keep the weight of the car down and save on in the main, fuel consumption. This is worth more than the steel, about 10 times more, however, it weighs far less so does not compound the value too much. Also on your scrap car you will find copper in abundance, whether this be as motor, such as your starter motor or even windscreen motor and of course in the miles of copper cable used to link all your electrical parts. Copper is one of the most valuable metals upon your vehicle. Finally you have your catalitic convertor, this can be worth as much as the rest of the car put together under certain circumstances. Although, if your car has had this changed during it’s life time, this will generally be of little value. Scrap Car Buyers take all of this in to account when pricing your car using their unrivalled experience in the scrap car industry.

 

You Car Type Matters

 

Scrap Car Buyers know the value of cars and will offer a price based on the commercial value of the vehicle for breaking or exporting too, if this value outweighs the value as scrap, then the price offered for your scrap car will be greater accordingly. This is unlike many scrap car dealers whom simply offer you the price based on the current weight to scrap value. These type of companies are the ones to be avoided, this must avoid them at all cost for many reasons. Firstly, they are interested only in the quick cash turnover, they give little thought to what happens to the car or even yourself once they have made a fast buck. Lots of them will not deal with the paper work leaving you wide open to problems further down the line. Who knows where your car may end up? It may not even end up in a scrap yard and crushed, where does that then leave you? Maybe one day you will see your car on crimewatch and where will that end?

 

Avoid the £80 Fine

 

Make sure to deal with a licensed and registered company like Scrap Car Buyers, you will then know that there will be no issues in the future to deal with! There will be no parking tickets, no untaxed car fines or even worse.

Let Scrap Car Buyers deal with your scrap car or van, legally, effectively and with the environment process in mind.

Scrap Vauxhall Cavalier does not beat Scrap Car Buyers driver

August 10, 2010 By

Today Scrap Car Buyers were called to a wiley Scrap Vauxhall Cavalier in the Pype Hayes district of Birmingham that had been stood in a garage for over 2 years. The car was firmly settled in place within the small and very narrow concrete garage that was 200 yards along a narrow driveway at the rear of the Scrap Car Buyers customers house. Not only was it too narrow for anything wider than a car, it was also with a very sharp corner and a dead end.

The scrap car would not start and had 4 flat tyres that were in no fit state to be inflated ever again. Even 2 handed the Scrap Car Buyers team could not budge the car by pushing it or using any of the other age old remedies used to remove reluctanct scrap cars, so a plan of action needed to be designed and deployed to remove this reluctant scrap car from it’s adopted home.

Directly behind the lane leading to the garage was an industrial estate with a steel fence separating it, a 3 mile drive eventually found the Scrap Car Buyers driver and truck the other side of the fence directly opposite the car. The winch was released and taken over a 6 foot wall, up an embankment through some trees where eventually the Scrap Car Buyers driver was able to pass it through the hole in the fence to his co driver who connected it to the wiley Vauxhall cavalier. As with all Scrap Car Buyers trucks the winch was capable of pulling a rolling load of up to 10 tonne so made light work of beating the resistant Cavalier and it was soon rolling out in the the sunshine.

Once out of the garage the breaks were no longer seized on and the 2 Scrap Car Buyers collection agents were able to push the Cavalier along the driveway to the now returned Scrap Car Buyers recovery truck.

The Cavalier said good bye to it’s home in a Pype Hayes, Birmingham garage and was crushed within 3 hours having been completely decontaminated beforehand.

Scrap Car Volkswagen Golf Day

June 26, 2010 By

Scrap Car Buyers have today purchased for cash no fewer than 5 VW Golfs. Scrap Car Buyers have days where we purchase a couple of the same type of scrap cars, however, never normally 5 scrap cars of the same make and model.

Out of the 5 scrap volkswagen golfs today 3 of them were in navy blue too, so that is again another scrap car buyers first, 3 the same make model and colour all in the same day.

Scrap Car Buyers also collected and purchased 2 scrap Vauxhall Astras today amongst other cars so it seems that scrap car buyers have had an unusual day this Saturday.

Another reasonably busy day for the Midlands premium Scrap Car dealers. When you scrap your vehicle be sure to use scrap car buyers who pay the top prices on the day and always pay what they offer by phone or email.

Another scrap dealer renages on the price offered

June 25, 2010 By

Scrap Car Buyers yesterday paid £70 cash for a Renault in Willenhall, the owner of the scrap car was very happy and admitted that Scrap Car Buyers had renewed their trust in scrap car dealers after a bad experience.

Only the day before they had accepted an offer over the phone of £60 only to find that when the driver arrived, he would not give them any cash and still wanted to take the car. His excuse was that the car was worthless. Scrap Car Buyers offered an extra £10 over and above the offer, not because the car was worth £70 as it was only really worth £50 or £60, however, we offered the extra as a gesture of good will.

When will scrap car dealers realise that they can no longer go around trying to get cars from people for free? Scrap Car Buyers always offer a fair price and stick to the figure, they may not always offer the top price on the phone, however, they will always stick to it unlike other unscrupulous scrap car dealers.
