How Scrap Car Prices Are Generated

When pricing a scrap vehicle there are various factors which are taken into consideration, Influences which affect a price may include:

• the proximity of a vehicle to a government ATF
• the size and weight of a vehicle
• whether the vehicles have any specialist parts, current metal values and even fuel

The pricing of scrap and salvage vehicles are always fluctuating due to these factors.
