Know the Value of your Junk Car by its Weight
Do you have a old car lying around in your garage? Thinking of selling it to a junkyard however want to know how they come up with offer they give you? Well, the easiest and most common answer to your question is the weight of your car. Most junkyards weighs your car to know how much your car will cost. However the make, model, and condition of your car adds up as well. If your car’s still commonly driven, rare, or the parts of it is high demand.
The average weight of a car ranges from 2,500 to 3,000 lbs. This weight mainly comes from the steel where your car is mostly made of, others will be aluminum and other kinds of metal which can be sold and recycled into new products.
And lastly, the condition of your car determines what a buyer will be able to do with it. Will they be able to restore it to working condition and re-sell the car? Will they strip it and sell the spare parts? Or will they turn it into scrap metal and sell that?
If your car has just a couple issues that prevent it from running smoothly, you can ask for more cash than if it’s a complete junk, particularly if the current market value of the car model is high. However, if the total cost of repairs to get it running again will be very high then a buyer won’t be willing to pay as much for the car itself.
