How much will I get compared to scrapping my car?

Calculating the scrap value of a car can be impacted by a variety of factors. This includes the seasonality, demand in the scrap metal market, and the salvageable parts from the vehicle. Companies that buy scrap cars will take at least some basic criteria into consideration before deciding how much the car is worth. For example, the scrap value of a small city car is likely to be less than that of a large 4x4 due to less usable metal on the vehicle. Also, the location of the buyer may impact the value of your car due to increased overheads depending on where the nearest port is located.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT IN IRELAND

Name: SCRAP MY CAR
Rating: 4.5

The Theft of Catalytic Converters is becoming an increasing problem

Catalytic Converter Theft.

We note with alarm that this type of act is becoming ever increasingly common. These catalytic converters are disappearing into a black market network of illegal car scrappers that are buying cars for cash. These catalytic converters have been listed as a hazardous waste by the European Union, they are full of cancer causing chemicals and fibres so toxic they have been compared to the worst kinds of asbestos.

These converters, as well as all the other materials in cars, are being sold to these shady characters, who are acting without constraint of environmental enforcement or regard to the consequences of their behaviour. Every time you sell a car to these cash for scrap people you are feeding the black market, facilitating theft and enabling environmental harm.
