What are the prices of scrap cars in Lewes?

Every scrap car price we generate is based on the weight of your car and the current rate for scrap vehicles nationwide. We’ll also check local trends as well as taking into account the condition of your car if it could be sold as a salvage vehicle.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?

When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.

Can you scrap any vehicle?

Yes, we can scrap any car that you might wish to sell. It doesn’t matter if it’s a super rare model or a foreign import, our team know how much it’s worth and how to get you the proper value. Over the years, we’ve dealt with all sorts of vehicles here at Scrap Car Comparison, so for instant offers from local, professional buyers, get a free quote right now.

What happens to scrap vehicles?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with government regulations. Unless your car is classed as salvage, it will be sent straight to the scrapyard as is. The professionals will strip the car down and return it back to its original raw materials, which can then be used again in the manufacturing process. Often, scrap cars actually help the build process of new cars.

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.
