Your Scrap Junk Car is Worth How Much?
There's a lot of competition out in the scrap car business these days. Many people have an optimistic opinion of what their car is worth and are instantly disappointed when they call in to a junk car company and are quoted a much lower value. However, these individuals do not realize that a scrap car company is exactly that: a scrap car company. After overhearing a lot of conversations at the call center, these are the common negotiation rebuttals:
- we just installed new tires last year
- the body looks practically brand new with no rust
- the car runs perfectly with very nice emissions testing
- there's a nice aftermarket radio and speaker set in the car
- there's really low mileage on this car
- I'm a nice guy and I deserve more!
If you see yourself thinking something along the lines above, you are probably best served selling the car to a used car dealer or posting a used car ad on Craigslist or Kijiji.
If you are ready to scrap your end-of-life vehicle, then give us a call.
We appraise your vehicle based on the age of the car and how many cylinders it has. This gives us an approximation on how much steel is in the body, and this above all else is the primary consideration. Deductions are made for vehicles older than a certain date because newer vehicles have more steel in them due to changes in safety requirements and the fact that cars have steadily grown in size to accommodate consumer tastes.
The good news is that we shop our competitors on a regular basis and are proud to offer you the most competitive, cash-on-the-spot incentives. So what are you waiting for?
