Stripping down your vehicle and selling the parts

If your car is no longer drivable and you are considering selling it for scrap then you may want to consider if it would be possible for you to try and make a bit more money buy stripping it down and selling certain parts.

You may need a little mechanical knowledge or at least a good tutorial to teach you how to safely remove some of the parts but if you can, you can often more than triple the scrap value if not more. Depending on how much time you have and storage space, almost all parts can be sold to make money so if possible, strip off as much as you can. Bumpers, doors and even seats often sell for quite large amounts of money.

There are many ways in which to sell these parts. Some of the social media sites such as Facebook are great for selling cars and car parts but also places like Ebay often give you the best coverage.

Make sure that the vehicle is kept off the road once you have cancelled the tax and insurance, ideally in a garage or a workshop so you have coverage if the weather turns bad.
