How to sell your scrap car with scrap car comparison sites

Scrap car selling is a tedious process, but if you plan properly, you can do it easily and in a very short time. While it may take a certain amount of skill but you should be able to do just fine if you know a few certain things. Of course we are talking about doing things honestly. The skill referred to here is sourcing.

Now you could advertise the vehicle in the classifieds and you will get a large range of buyers who will want to take the scrap car off your hands. But the catch here is that you will be paying a great amount to the advertisers as commission. And if the stories are to be believed they charge very large sums as commission.

Your best option is to go for local classifieds or check out local scrap yards. Usually it is the latter that has proven to be more profitable. But the amount of money that you are going to make is again largely dependent on whether your nearest scrap yard is paying you the largest sum.

So this clearly comes down to a lot of researching. Now you cannot scour entire boroughs to look for scrap yards to see which one of them will offer you the right price. Also the farther you get away from your locality the rates increase with the increase in transport fees. All this is tedious to do with a now defunct car. So to make this process simple many scrap comparison sites have come up.

What these sites do is take your car registration code and postal code and provide you with a quote of exactly how much you will get if you agree to selling your scrap to them and how much it will cost you to transport the scrap car. These can be a mixture of reference sites, scrap yard sites or spare parts sellers. Nevertheless you will manage to get the scrap value of cars from these sites.

So come down to which sites you have at your disposal I would like to list a few sites that came out on top across various searches:

1. Scrap Car Comparison

2. 1st Choice Car Parts

3. Remove My Car

4. CarTakeBack

Now each of these sites is very different. Among these the last two are a network of ATF car depots. These will scrap your car for sure but end up paying less than others. These are not bad options but they do not have all the features. 1st Choice is an auto parts dealer so this is going to help you when you plan to salvage parts from the car. A good idea before scrapping and you get a decent payout from it. Scrap Car Comparison is more comprehensive. It is a database of almost every car scrapper local to you and you get to choose the one that pays you the most. You also get the option to salvage parts if you want. But which one will work for you depends only when you try these out.
