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?

How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
