Sell your car

The easiest car sale you'll ever find. Just give us the details of your car and we'll find your prices in seconds. With guaranteed prices and a free collection, we promise a hassle free vehicle sale.

What are scrap car prices in Widnes?

We determine scrap car prices in Widnes based on the current cost of scrap metal and local averages. When scrapping a car, the price is determined by the weight of the vehicle you’re selling. These prices align with the national average for scrap metal in the UK. We’ll even check locally to see if your car could be sold as salvage to potentially boost your offers.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

Salvage vehicles will be broken down into parts first rather than just sent straight for scrap. These parts will then be used to help repair other broken down vehicles. In some cases, the salvage vehicle may be repaired itself. As a result, the value of a salvage car is often higher than you’d get for a standard scrap vehicle.

What cars can be scrapped?

Any vehicle of any make or model can be scrapped through Scrap Car Comparison. Get a quote today for your vehicle, even if it’s a super-rare model or a foreign import! We’ve scrapped all kinds of cars over the years, so there’s a good chance yours is already in our database. So, get a price for your motor in just 30 seconds and our team will sort out the sale & free collection, wherever you are in Camberley.

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.
