If you have a car that you’re looking to scrap but you’re concerned about the cost – don’t fret! If you scrap your car with an Authorised Treatment Facility like us at A&L, there is no cost involved - in fact, we will pay you for your old car!
How Much Money Can I Get For My Old Car?
In the UK, you can generally expect to get between £100 and £500 for scrapping your car. However, factors like the car’s condition, size and completeness, alongside the current market value of scrap metal can all affect the final price.
If you have a more expensive and modern model of a car, some parts can be salvaged instead of scrapped, meaning more money for you! This is because the more modern the parts, the more likely they are to fit cars currently being repaired.
Why Do Scrap Yards Buy Old Cars?
Scrap yards like us at A&L are willing to pay for your old car for a number of reasons:
- Even damaged cars can have parts like the engine, tires or catalytic converter that can be recycled or resold to people needing replacements.
- Certain car models or parts are also in more demand than others, meaning that ATFs can get higher prices for those components.
- The metal frame and other metal parts of old cars can be sold to recycling facilities based on their weight and metal type.
So, to answer the question “do you have to pay to scrap a car?”, no you don’t. If you scrap your car at an Authorised Treatment Facility like us at A&L, it is completely free and you will even leave with money in your pocket!
