How Much Does a Scrap Yard Pay for a Car in Quebec?
Raahim Saifi
What sets a scrap car's price
- Weight: a car is mostly steel; an SUV or pickup is worth more than a small car.
- Scrap metal price: it moves with the markets, so ask for today's price.
- Catalytic converter: it contains precious metals and can be worth a lot on its own.
- Reusable parts: engine, transmission, rims, doors.
- Towing: some buyers deduct it; with us it's free.
Scrap metal dealer or scrap yard?
A metal dealer pays mostly by the kilo. A scrap yard adds the value of the converter and parts, so for a complete car it usually pays more. In practice most scrap cars we buy fall between $300 and $3,000.
