If your car has been written off, you may be thinking about how to raise some cash to help with the purchase of a new vehicle or what the next steps should be. One of the questions we often get is whether you can keep parts when deciding to scrap your vehicle. Here are some considerations to think about before making any hasty decisions.
Why Keep Vehicle Parts?
Some people like to remove certain car parts before scrapping their vehicle. This could be for a number of reasons, including if you’ve previously spent money upgrading the exhaust or buying a special wheel rim. You may also want to sell the parts for money, such as a catalytic converter. Some garages also like to remove parts if they can use them to repair other vehicles.
What to Do Before Removing Any Car Parts
If there are parts you wish to remove before scrapping your vehicle, ring your local scrapyard first to find out more about how this can affect the price of scrapping the vehicle. It may be worth leaving the parts in situ rather than trying to sell them separately. A dismantled vehicle could be worth less to a scrap car dealer than one with all its parts present.
