Why Older Cars Are Hard to Sell
If you are trying to get a good price for your old car, then you may struggle. There are so many used cars on the market these days, and a vehicle really needs to stand out in order to attract a fair price.
So why are older cars so much harder to sell? Well, chances are they lack features such as cruise control, voice recognition and keyless entry. If it’s over 16 years old, it is very likely that it has not been fitted with a catalytic converter either.
Rather than paying a lot to bring a vehicle up to modern standards, buyers will simply use their money to buy a new model.
Thanks to great deals and payment plans, it’s becoming more and more easy for motorists to buy a car brand new. Say you were having to choose between an older car that lacks many modern comforts and a brand-new model at a fantastic price. It’s not hard to see which is the more attractive option. So rather than chasing a buyer who will try to drive the price lower and lower or let you down, call Scrap Car Kings and enquire about their car scrapping Crayford services today.

A scrap car removal service removes unwanted vehicles for recycling. The registration of the car must be surrendered to the recycler in order to cancel the vehicle tax.
Direct Debits for car tax will be automatically cancelled by the DVLA, and any months remaining on the tax will be refunded. A check will be issued and made out to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
In the case that you own the vehicle but you are not the registered keeper, you can write or contact the DVLA with proof of your ownership, such as a bill of sale.
Please include your name, address, and registration number. Additionally, be sure to mention that you want the car tax refund sent to your address.
Once our collector has inspected the vehicle and confirm that it is as the seller has claimed, they will then proceed to make payment.
This helps to protect both parties from any complications and is line with our network terms. Our collector also needs to check the vehicle is as the seller has claimed to confirm it’s worth the full value of the quote.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for choosing our service.
If you have lost the keys to your car, don’t worry – we can still scrap it for you. Just leave it to us and when we contact you to confirm your details, please let us know if there are any obstructions or height restrictions that could make it difficult to recover. You can sell your car for scrap without the keys, but you will need to provide us with paperwork proving vehicle ownership and there may be deductions from your final payment for any inconvenience and extra work for the scrap dealer who collects it. Thanks for choosing Scrap My Car!
