How much is my car worth for scrap?
This is one of the most common questions among our customers. The price we can offer for a scrap vehicle varies depending on multiple factors. Below, we explain how we determine the value of each car and what you can expect.
Factors that influence the price
The value of a scrap car is calculated taking into account:
- Make and model — some models have parts in high demand in the spare parts market.
- Year of manufacture — newer cars usually have more valuable components.
- Engine and transmission condition — these are the most sought-after parts.
- Mileage — lower mileage can increase the value of certain components.
- Spare parts demand — if your model is very common, it will have higher demand for parts.
- General condition — even if written off, we value all usable parts.
Which parts have the most value?
Not all car parts have the same value in the spare parts market. The most sought-after are usually:
- Complete engines — especially if in good condition.
- Gearboxes — manual and automatic.
- ECUs and electronic modules.
- Turbo and intake systems.
- Headlights and optical units.
Do you offer the same price for all cars?
No, each vehicle is valued individually. A 20-year-old city car with a blown engine is not the same as a 5-year-old SUV with cosmetic damage. That is why we offer personalised and free valuations for each customer.
Tips to get the best price
- Provide all documentation — having the paperwork in order speeds up the process.
- Describe the actual condition — be honest about the vehicle's condition to receive an accurate offer.
- Compare offers — although at Desguaces Carend we offer competitive prices, it is always good to research.
- Sell at the right time — if your car has parts in high demand, the price will be better.
