Cash For Old Car

There are a wide variety of companies that give cash for old cars. Traditional buyers are the scrap metal recyclers who determine the value of a car based on the weight of the recycled steel. Unfortunately, fluids and toxins are rarely dealt with properly and most of the rest of the car ends up in a landfill. Today, people are thinking “green” and looking to sell cars for scrap, have environmental concerns that were unheard of 15 years ago.
If you have an old car you’d like to sell, and you’re concerned about its potential environmental impact, you have a few choices. First, you can try to find one of the growing number of auto recyclers. They tend to view a whole car as potential scrap, not just the steel. They will dispose of oil, mercury, and the dozens of other potentially dangerous toxins in an environmentally responsible way. Because of these processes they also can’t offer as much cash for old cars because of the additional costs they incur.
As an alternative, you can sell your so called scrap car to a used parts dealer. They will break it down to use as much of the car as possible. If your car is still repairable, there are many businesses who buy cars for scrap, but they will actually fix them up and resell them to used car dealers. Remember, “reuse” is one of the primary tenants of the environmental movement.
