Scrap & salvage differences

Selling your car as salvage means it’ll be broken apart to be sold for its parts. Scrapping, on the other hand, simply involves crushing the vehicle whole and retrieving the materials (most importantly, the metal) which can be recycled and repurposed.

How much do scrap cars sell for in Coulsdon?

Scrap Car Comparison’s prices in Coulsdon and around Surrey are based primarily on the weight of each vehicle. This is because heavier vehicles are made from more metal – and scrap metal is what our buyers are interested in! However, don’t worry if you drive something small… other factors, like the car’s make, model, age, and overall condition also impact the price you’re offered.

What happens to my scrapped car?

All vehicles in Coulsdon and around the UK must be recycled when the time comes for them to be scrapped. Our buyers will take your vehicle away to be disposed of professionally and responsibly.

Can you scrap my exact make/model?

Any vehicle, whether it’s rare or common, can be scrapped with our service. Our team knows the ins & outs of every vehicle, so it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to scrap a foreign import or even a one-off vehicle, you’ll get the price you deserve. Get a quote now, whatever you’re selling.

Can I sell my car even if it doesn't run?

Yes, your non-running car with no MOT can still be scrapped. Get a quote today – you might be surprised how much value your old banger has retained!

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.
