Why Scrap Cars Still Have Value in Wellington
Just because your car won’t start doesn’t mean it’s worthless. In fact, dead and damaged cars can still fetch great prices in Wellington’s scrap market. Why? Because they contain recyclable metals (steel, copper, aluminum) and usable parts like batteries, radiators, and catalytic converters.
If your car is:
-
Wrecked or accident-damaged
-
Deregistered and collecting rust
-
Completely dead or not starting
-
Failed its WoF or too costly to repair
Then it’s time to stop wasting space — and start making fast, effortless cash.
