Scrap Car Prices: A Guide to NZ Scrap Car Values

What Factors Influence the Prices of Wrecked Cars?

A question we often hear is “how much cash will I get for scrapping my car?” Frankly speaking there’s not a quick, simple answer. The price of your own scrap car depends on a whole heap of variables. Some of these you can influence, and some of which you can’t. These include:

• The size and weight of your vehicle

Generally speaking, scrap car prices are heavily reliant on the tonne-weight of your vehicle. Bigger and heavier cars generally have more usable scrap metal for dealers, which affects the amount of cash you’ll get for them. For instance, a Hino truck is worth in scrap than a Subaru impreza.

• The make and model (and its age)

Just as make and model affects the purchase price of your car, it affects the price when it gets scrapped, too. Year of manufacturing can also come into play – a 2021 vehicle, for example, worth more than one from an old 2000 vehicle.

• Whether or not it’s had parts removed

To get maximum value for your scrap car, it’s important not to take out car components, even if you’ve got the skills and know-how to do so. Lots of them can be more valuable than you think!

• Your location and distance from the scrapyard

Simply, the further you are from Auckland car wrecking yard, the less money you’ll get for your scrap car. It’s why we’ve made it such an integral part of our car removal service here at Car Collection!

• The scrap metal market

The scrap metal market is notoriously fast moving, with the supply and demand of recycled metal all changing regularly, often on a daily basis. And since they’re all metals used in automotive manufacturing, all of them can affect on the price you’ll get for your scrap car. There’s obviously not much you can do about economic factors though, so for the vast majority of people it’s really not something you need to worry about.
