What are the scrap car prices in Hailsham?

Scrap Car Comparison bases scrap car prices in Hailsham on the current cost of scrap metal. We take into account average prices in the local area to get the best deal for you. When scrapping a car, you’re essentially selling scrap metal, so the price depends on the vehicle’s weight. That’s not to say smaller cars are worthless, though! If your car is salvage, we should be able to get you an even better price. The same goes for scrapping your van.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

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 regulations. These components are often broken down to their original materials and then used elsewhere in the manufacturing process.

Can I scrap an MOT failure or insurance write-off?

Of course! No level of damage is too much for our service. We’ll get you a great price in no time at all, no matter how badly broken your car might be.

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.
