A Car That We Recently Wrecked For Cash
We recently bought a 2012 Toyota Camry that was still in relatively good condition and paid $500 for it. When we were evaluating the car, we looked at the condition of the engine, which was still running and the other parts in the car. Luckily the engine was still running and most of the other parts were still working and could be resold, adding to the overall value of the car. Of course every car’s valuation and condition is different, but could get a lot more for your old car a wrecker than you expect.
Factors That Affect Car Value
Car Condition And Age
The overall condition of your car is a key factor in deciding its value. A newer car in good working order with minimal damage will generally get a higher price. On the other hand, if it’s older and severely damaged or written off, the cash paid may be lower. The condition of both the interior and exterior of the car is taken into consideration.
However, when selling to a wrecker, the condition is not as important as when selling to car dealers or private buyers, so you can still get a reasonable price.
Make, Model, and Year
The make, model, and year model significantly impact your vehicle’s worth. Popular or out of production models with high demand for used parts generally sell for higher amounts to wreckers.
Scrap Metal Price
The market price for scrap metal directly affects the payout for your scrap car. Higher scrap metal prices mean more money for scrapping your vehicle.
Scrap Metal Weight
Heavier vehicles such as trucks and buses contain more scrap metal, which can be recycled and contributes to the scrap metal value of your vehicle.
