What Happens to Your Junk Car After Selling It?

Do you have a junk car sitting in your driveway or garage? Then you are sitting on potential cash. After selling your car, it may be used for spare parts, recycled steel, or fixed up into an affordable used vehicle. Some broken cars can even be fixed up by a store or auto enthusiast, but others are just scrapped for parts and metal.

Regardless of your car’s future, the free towing service and cash in your hands at the end of the day doesn’t hurt. Your vehicle will be towed away at no cost to you. Then, it is off your hands and you won’t need to worry about it anymore.

Auto Recycling

Metal can be – and should be – recycled. More than 1/3 of all scrap metal is supplied by auto recyclers to the US scrap processing industry, so it is a very common, mutually beneficial option. Using scrap iron and steel can also help significantly reduce air and water pollution during the manufacturing process, which is better for the environment.

In fact, the car is the most heavily recycled consumer product in the nation. More than 90% of its ferrous (aluminum) metal can be recycled into new steel and nearly 80% of the vehicle can be recycled or reused in some way.

When you contact Messy Motors about your junk car, we will ensure that you receive top dollar for it and that the vehicle doesn’t go to waste. If you decide to donate your car for recycling, you may even be eligible for tax incentives.

Stripped for Parts

Most cars are full of valuable parts. In some cases, vehicles are broken down for parts, especially when a vehicle has rare or authentic parts that aren’t commonly found. Newer vehicles also tend to have more parts that are in high demand. The recovered parts can then be reconditioned or sold as used.

Sold Privately or at Auction

Vehicles – or their separate parts – are valuable, regardless of their condition. In some cases, the vehicle can be fixed up into reconditioned or pre-owned cars. They can then be sold on a used car lot or even sold at auction.
