Sell a car as salvage

Some scrap cars actually have some life left in them in the form of reusable parts. If yours fits this brief, we'll calculate its offer as a salvage vehicle, which means it'll be broken down and those parts sold on again. This usually means there's extra value to be found in a salvage car compared to a scrap option.

Sell a damaged vehicle

Selling a damaged vehicle is never easy, we know that! But with Scrap Car Comparison it's one of the easiest sales you'll ever see. Just give us the information and we'll get it sold to one of our specialist buyers looking for cars just like yours.

What are the scrap car prices like in Newcastle?

There is no standard or base price for a scrap car in Newcastle, or anywhere else in the UK for that matter. That’s because the value of a scrap car is actually based on the value of scrap metal in the local area. This, in turn, means that heavier cars are worth more than lighter vehicles. Why? Because they’re made from more metal! It’s this scrap metal that our buyers are interested in!

Can I scrap a car even if its crash damaged or failed an MOT?

Yes, you can sell your car with Scrap Car Comparison in any condition. It doesn’t even need to run! Crash damaged cars, insurance write offs, MOT test failures… they’re all good for our buyers, who want to purchase your car today! Get a quote now and see just how much value your car has retained despite whatever damage it’s suffered.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Salvaging sees cars broken down into their working parts before being scrapped. This allows those parts to then be sold on or used elsewhere to repair other broken vehicles. Because of this, the value of the original vehicle will often rise as a result. Scrapping involves the car going straight to the crusher with no stripping down first.

What happens to scrap cars?

Scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental rules. Every car we scrap is taken to a specialist Authorised Treatment Facility to be scrapped in line with all legal rules. When a car is scrapped it is returned to its original materials, and from there it will be used again in the manufacturing process.

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
