Discover the Cash Value of Your Old Car at an Auto Salvage Yard
Salvage yards are a great option for getting rid of old, used vehicles or car parts that are no longer of use to you. These yards will purchase a variety of vehicles and items including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, tow trucks, RVs, and jet skis. Not only does selling to a salvage yard provide a convenient way to dispose of unwanted items, but it also allows for recycling and repurposing of materials that might otherwise go to waste. Additionally, salvage yards often offer competitive prices for vehicles and parts, making it a profitable option for those looking to get some value out of their old items. This being said, I think the average person would be surprised at what an old car is actually worth when scrapping it at a junk yard.
The scrap value of a car is determined by several key factors:
- Metal Content
- Vehicle Weight & Size
- Location
- Vehicle Condition
- Market Prices
Scrap metal rates fluctuate based on global market conditions. Also, urban areas often offer higher rates due to competition and demand. For instance, in North Carolina, the estimated scrap metal prices for cars are $145 to $195 per ton. The value of a complete car (1 to 3.5 tons) is $150.00 – $595.00, with the average value being in the $200 – $350 range. So, when you contact a scrape yard to sell your old car, keep these figures in mind.
