How to sell your car in Sudbury

1. Get a quote

Just provide your vehicle’s registration number and your postcode and we’ll get you an instant quote. This price is based on your car’s scrap value, and because collection is completely free, you’ll keep every penny if you decide to go ahead. Think your vehicle is worth more money than you're initially offered? Share a bit more information about its condition when prompted, and we’ll check if it’s suitable for salvage. Salvage vehicles are sold for parts and will usually net you more cash!

2. More information

Share a few more details about your car, and we’ll check if it qualifies to be sold as salvage rather than scrap. You may need to tell us more about its current condition - for example, whether it still runs, has wheels, or an engine that works. It can take a few minutes longer to get a salvage offer, but the prices are often significantly higher than what you’d get for scrap!

3. Collection & payment

With an offer accepted, the price is then guaranteed. That means no renegotiations later on, and you’ll receive the full amount just as you're expecting. You can choose a time and location for collection that works for you, and your vehicle will be removed safely and professionally by fully-trained experts. After that, your payment will be processed quickly and transferred straight into your bank account.

What will happen to my scrap car?

Scrap your car with Scrap Car Comparison and it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) to be crushed and recycled professionally and safely.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

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 I sell my specific make or model?

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.

How much is a scrap car worth in Ipswich?

Your scrap vehicle will be priced up based primarily on the current scrap metal cost in the Ipswich area. Scrapping a vehicle essentially amounts to scrapping the metal it’s made from, so the weight of the car plays a big role in determining its value. Heavier vehicles are generally worth more. There are other factors that influence the offers you’ll get though, including age, condition, make, and model.

Can I sell my damaged, broken, written off car?

Yes, your damaged, broken, or failed MOT car can be scrapped. Get an instant quote and arrange collection for your car in Ipswich – even if it’s a non-runner!

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.
