    Scrap car dealers and scrap yards pay different amounts for different makes and models of cars. There is no definitive price for all cars.

    Below are some of the main factors that a scrap yard uses to estimate your price.

    • Age of the car (Newer cars are eligible for higher prices as they are worth more in the car market)
    • Condition of the car
    • Car Complete (Engine, Gearbox, Wheels, Interior etc.)
    • Alloy wheels
    • Weight of the car (Heavier cars are worth more in scrap as they have more metal on them than lighter cars)
