How Are Scrap Cars Priced?
Many factors can drive car scrap values higher or lower:
- Year or Model — If the vehicle’s year, make, and model are in high demand, then expect to get a large payout for scrapping it.
- Location – Metal is not usually processed at the scrap yard. It is transported to some place which always in further proximity. The scrap yard will include financial expenses for the cost of transportation. Therefore, you’ll get less for your scrap car.
- Vehicle’s Age – The older the car is, the lower the value. The newer vehicles will be priced higher for their working components.
