Your car is old and tired. It has cost you a small fortune in repairs over the past few years. Still, there’s always something else to fix. But being that it’s over the hill in both time and mileage, you aren’t expecting great things if you decide to sell it.
If you’ve decided it’s time to turn in your old hunk of junk instead of dumping more coin into it, you probably still want to get some money out of it. That decision eliminates donating it to charity as well as letting it waste away in your backyard. And trading a junk car in is a non-starter – no dealership would give you the time of day for your scrap vehicle.
It’s either dropping it off at the junkyard – the end of the road for junk and salvage cars – or selling your scrap vehicle to one of the local car breakers. But what’s the difference to you?
Which one do you choose? Both serve the same purpose and that’s getting your junk car off the driveway and cash in what you can for it. But the two have some differences that could influence where you take your scrap vehicle.
The main agenda for scrap yards is to recycle a car’s materials into new, shiny products in a bunch of different industries. When you sell a car for scrap, it is unceremoniously shredded or crushed, separated into its raw materials, and eventually melted down to make new products – even new cars.
Dismantlers are distinct from scrap yards. When you sell them your junk scrap car, it is dismantled and the remaining usable parts are resold. These places are also known as recyclers.
The great thing about taking your car to a dismantler is that you can feel good about your vehicle’s parts getting put to new use rather than discarded.
The difference between dismantlers and scrappers is how you are paid for the junk car you’re selling.
For wrecking yards, you will receive one flat rate per ton. That means you’ll get a no-haggle amount for whatever your car weighs on the scale. It isn’t much, but at least you can buy pizza afterward with the amount you made. You’ll be able to sell your vehicle for scrap metal.
At a car breaker yard, your car will be assessed differently. Similar to a scrap yard, your quote might be based solely on your car’s weight. In other instances, dismantlers consider the vehicle’s year, make, model, and condition before offering you a price.
If your car’s body is in good condition, its mechanical parts are still working, or if it is an in-demand model for recycled parts, you could command a higher selling price. For this style of selling, it truly depends on market supply and demand which can fluctuate daily or even minute to minute.
The best way to find a good scrap yard? Google it. Search for ‘car scrap yard near me’ and browse the results. Look at the star ratings to determine which scrap yards are the best in your area.
Finding people who buy junk cars can be more challenging. There are fewer junk car buyers than there are scrap yards. Although there’s a chance you could be paid more for junk and salvage cars, there might not be a car dismantler within a distance that offer a reasonable price to tow it.
Like scrap yards, you’ll need to be cautious when selling to a dismantler. Good junk car buyers pay top dollar while others may undervalue your car so they can make more profit.
One way to decipher who pays a good price for your whole car is to call and ask a question about an individual part, such as the catalytic converter. Its core is coated in precious metals that can be recovered, and dismantlers are keen to collect this valuable emissions component. Call around and ask for the catalytic converter scrap price by vehicle and make your choice according to the one that pays the most.
