How Much Is My Scrap Car Worth?

Scrap Local provides transparent information on how car scrap prices are calculated.

We consider factors such as international trade agreements, financial flux, socioeconomic movements, and demand fluctuations to determine the car scrap value in metal. Our quotes offers a UK average scrap car price based on data from authorized treatment facilities and scrap car collectors.

The vehicle’s weight is a significant indicator, with heavier vehicles having higher scrap value.

Additionally, certain makes, models, and engines may fetch higher prices. The website also explains the impact of the UK Cash Ban (Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013) on the payment methods for scrap cars.

To get an accurate car scrap value, users can receive a quote where we use our scrap car pricing system. We also educate users on the different sale categories: Scrap, Salvage, and Retail.

Salvage vehicles may have higher valuations as they can be repaired, while scrap vehicles have reached the end of their life and are recycled for metal.

For selling to retail buyers, users can receive quotes based on their car’s condition using trade pricing tools. Users can fill out the quote form on the website or contact their specialist advisors to obtain an instant quote.
