What affects scrap car prices in Alton?
Prices move with metal markets, but your specific vehicle matters too. We consider:
- Weight & model: Heavier cars tend to pay more due to metal recovery.
- Age & condition: Runners or cars with reusable parts can exceed scrap-only value.
- Category & damage: Accident history and insurance categories affect reuse potential.
- Market demand: Engines, gearboxes, ECUs, and panels can add value.
- Completeness: Intact catalysts, batteries and wheels help maximise offers.
We’ll honour the agreed price as long as the car matches the described condition.
