Making the most of scrap cars

scrapcarslegally.co.uk

There's more money to be made of scrap cars than just collecting them and taking them to an authorised treatment facility  for recycling. OK! So you remove the battery the catalytic converter fuel, and if you're lucky alloy wheels. We've all had cars, which have had faults like auto gearbox failure, for example, even for us to repair the gearbox is simply not worth getting evolved in, even if the car is totally immaculate and low mileage been garaged from new and one owner. It's gutting, and in some ways seems criminal to have it crushed.

The next-best plan is to make as much money out of  a scrap car as you possibly can, moreover, if you managed to have one up to around ten years old, these are great as there will still be a decent market for the spare parts as most cars of this age are worth fixing and retain excellent value. The first and probably the most important point is the colour, followed by condition.

A favourable body colour, in first class and scratch-free condition will enable you to sell the panels, having popular colour means excellent to high probability of selling the body work. Moreover, still a dent-free mint body work in not so common finish is, even so, great. See, just say you go to the supermarket, and some fool reverses into your car, then drives off leaving you to pick up the bill; I bet it's happened to someone you know or even you. If you need to replace headlight bonnet and wing, body repair shop will quote for new parts plus painting them, and labour, four five hundred pounds would be expected and quite reasonable.
