\nAn old vehicle can be a lifesaver when you have an emergency and need quick cash. Scrap dealers will pay you instantly before they move your old car.

\nOld vehicles occupy a lot of space in your compound. And not only that, it poses a significant risk to the environment if it is spilling oil. Also, it makes your backyard look nasty and unappealing. By selling your old vehicle off as scrap, you are creating more space in your parking lot and saving yourself from health hazards. You can use the extra space for something useful like creating a beautiful garden or creating an extra space for your new car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proper vehicle disposal is the best way to save the environment from health hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before selling your vehicle as scrap<\/strong><\/span>
\nSelling your old vehicle as scrap is a necessary process you need to pay more attention to for you to make the most out of your old car.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may not know how some of the parts of your car are important unless you do some serious research or consult with an expert before selling. That said, below are the things you need to consider before selling off your vehicle as scrap.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Understand the types of vehicles that qualify for scraping<\/strong><\/span>
\nAre you ready to sell your vehicle as scrap or do you instead sell it as a second-hand car? You see, there are many factors to consider before deciding to sell your old car. Because your ultimate goal is to make the most out of the vehicle, you need to weigh between selling it as is or selling it as scrap metal. If your vehicle still works pretty fine apart from rusting and minor issue, you may want to sell it as a used vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if the critical parts of your vehicle like the engine are in a bad state, then it is best to sell it as scrap. It is not worth spending more money repairing a car that is in a terrible state.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Understand the rules and regulations involving vehicle scrapping<\/strong><\/span>
\nJust because your car is a piece of junk doesn\u2019t mean that you can throw it away anyhow. There are metal scrapping rules and regulations you will need to follow when selling it as scrap in Kenya. Make sure that you are not on the wrong side of the law like selling your car to an unlicensed scrap dealer. Also, check to make sure that all the paperwork is done the right way. And that the relevant authorities know that your car is no longer in the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Know the value of each part of your car before selling it as scrap<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnother thing to know before selling your old car as scrap is to identify the most valuable parts of your vehicle. A catalytic converter, for example, is one of the most valuable parts of your car because it is made up of the most expensive metals like platinum, palladium, or rhodium. Other expensive parts include the GPS if it is in good condition, doors, airbags, wheels, tyres and rims.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing the most expensive parts of your car helps you to fetch the highest price and avoid dealer manipulation. It also plays a major role in the overall valuation process of your vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Are you going to sell a few parts of your old car or scrap the whole vehicle?<\/strong><\/span>
\nUnderstanding whether to sell a part of your car or the whole vehicle is also another vital thing to know before scrapping. Determine whether there are essential parts of your vehicle that you will want to use in future. However, if you see that the car is completely useless and needs to be disposed of, then you can scrap it. Remember that you may want to keep some parts of your vehicle if you find them useful or you can reuse them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Find the best vehicle scrapping dealer in Kenya.<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe final step when scrapping an old car is to find the best scrap dealer in Kenya. There are many scrap dealers in Kenya but do they deal with vehicle scrapping? Does the dealer have a licence? The best vehicle scrap dealer is one who is licenced and will provide the best services when it comes to scrapping your car.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
