You might be reluctant to sell your scrap car for several reasons; maybe you plan on restoring it in the future when you have more money and time, or perhaps it still has a few miles left, and you’re willing to risk its unreliability.

Car parts are the most valuable part of your vehicle. The more you take out of the car, the lower the price will be. Reusable components such as engines, tyres, alternators, and water pumps can be removed, repaired and re-sold. So to get the best price for your scrap vehicle, avoid removing any of its parts and when discussing your vehicle’s value with a scrap car service, ensure to clarify how intact it is.
To ensure you receive the best possible value for your old car, ensure that you take care of the paperwork. Call up your insurance company, and contact the DVLA to find out whether you can get unused tax and insurance payments refunded.
