How to sell a car

THE EASY WAY TO SELL A CAR...

If you were to 'traditionally' sell a car here's, the advice you'd be given.

Ride & Seek!

Step 1: Prepare your car, van, bus, truck or whatever you're selling.

For this you'd be expected to wash, dry and polish the outside.

Add hub caps to the wheels if any are missing. 

Wash, dry and polish the interior for that sparkling effect. 

Oh and while you're at it, check the gears 🤯

Step 2: Master the art of negotiation so you can negotiate to get the deal that works for you.

This is where haggling skills come into play. And it's generally advised to price the car or van you want to sell a smidgen higher than you expect to get. Then when offered slightly less, you should have reached the price you realistically expected. 

Step 3: Park your car where it'll be seen.

Parking the vehicle you want to sell somewhere it'll get a lot of views is generally recommended. For example, in a busy supermarket car park. Make sure you have a clear 'for sale' sign in the car window with pricing and contact details.

And there you go, fingers crossed you'll get a sale. 

Or..... you could just contact The Scrappers and save all that faffery out of selling your car!!!

We don't need to see a spit and polish exterior or interior. 

We're not arsed about a hub cap or two missing. 

We don't expect you to have mechanical skills on the side so you know your way around the inner workings of a gearbox, for Pete's sake!

As for mastering the art of negotiation, give us a bloody break! It ain't needed pal, not when you've got us!

As if times aren't stressful enough, the last thing you need to be doing is sweating over what price to ask for your car!

Just go onto our straightforward, stress-free vehicle valuator and get the right price for your car or van, saving hassle and hours of haggling.

And as for parking your car where it'll be seen in the hope you'll bag a sale.. these days you're likely to get slapped with a parking fine if you leave it in a supermarket and go over your allotted time. Or get it nicked! Hardly a smart move when you're trying to make money on a car instead of losing it!

Plus, do you really want every Tom, Dick and Harry having your mobile number, making you susceptible to prank callers and time-wasters?  NO THANK YOU!

Instead go with The Scrappers and sell your car the stress free way. We live in the real world!

And we don't just buy cars for scrap, we buy runners too - that's why we are an ideal option for anyone wanting to sell their car.

So if you’re thinking about, “how to get a quick sale for my BMW”, “where can I sell my Mercedes fast?”, “who will pay best for my car?” or “how to sell a car”.. You know what to do!

Leave the selling your car the old fashioned way behind and jump the queue with The Scrappers. Call 01204388488 or go online.

Just pick up the phone dial 01204388488 or go online and speak to a member of staff. Realistically you could sell your van in a day. How easy would that be especially if you are in need of the cash. 

And did you know The Scrappers pay the best prices for vans so if you want to sell a van you know where to go!

Whatever van part you are after, talk to The Scrappers and they will help you find that part. And their van parts are cheaper than new and by recycling you are helping to make the world a greener place. It goes without saying The Scrappers also buy cars too.

What is the fastest way to sell my car?

There's nothing worse than getting up early in the morning when it's still dark and cold and your car won't turn over.

Bumpers deals on errrr...bumpers!

You might as well have stayed in bed, pal!

It could be a variety of reasons she won't fire up, but often it can be battery related.

Your lights, radio and dashboard all flicker on, but the battery isn't giving you jack.

That's because lights and radio require a lot less power than the starter needs.

So your battery might be capable of switching them on, but not have enough power to start your engine.

If that's the case it's time to give it a decent charge, or get a replacement battery.

It'll probably cross your mind to go to a car parts retailer and buy a brand new battery but that can easily cost over £100.

A far cheaper option is buying a used car battery that's in perfectly good working order, sometimes almost practically new in fact.. and paying a lot less!

The Scrappers - Metro Salvage see thousands of late models come through their Bolton gates with perfectly good batteries that are great working order.

So what's wrong with the cars these batteries are in you might wonder..

Well they are often write-offs, mainly from accidents. The majority of the car might be knackered from an impact, or it was simply too expensive to fix and becomes a write off instead.

If that's the case, there will be parts of the car or the van, that are still in fantastic working order, it's just not in that particular car anymore.

So you see, that's why the Scrappers have access to so many bargain car batteries that work as good as new because they are as good as new!

So if you're looking for a replacement car battery Bolton, or a cheap car battery Bolton, or a cheap car battery near me - then call on the Scrappers or their sister company All Tyred Up who can replace your current car battery with a better one and save you money. 

Oh, and you don't have to live in Bolton or near Bolton either, you can order your replacement battery from The Scrappers as mail order too. 

Orders are usually dispatched on the same day of purchase. 

They don't just do replacement car batteries either, you can buy all kinds of replacement car parts.

You may need a replacement car engine Bolton or a replacement gearbox, wherever you're based nationwide. You may be after a replacement front bumper or a replacement rear bumper. Perhaps your steering wheel is a bit tatty and it's time for a replacement steering wheel. 

Or you've cracked a rear light on a car, say a BMW, and you need a replacement BMW 5 series rear light, for example. You can either search for a particular part on their website or contact the friendly team on 01204388488.

And if you want to scrap a car then you know who to call. Top rate prices are always paid.

Who buys Audis Manchester?

CAB FAB!

Taxi!!!! Well don't expect these two to pick you up in a hurry - even while restrictive curfews are in place.

Yep these traditional London Taxi cabs have seen far better days, bless them.

Once a fab cab to a drab cab, this red and black taxi will both soon be grab cabs when Gloria, our glorious grabber, has her wicked way with them!

She'll tear and shred them to pieces of scrap metal that'll be loaded into an enormous container before heading to a metal recycling plant and being turned into something else, something useful again.

And that could even be another taxi!!

It's all part of the recycling process, that red cab and that black cab will be fab again as something new made out of their former selves.

As things currently stand, there won't be quite as much demand for cabs at the moment with travel restrictions in place. 

It looks like Bolton, home of The Scrappers which is Britain's best salvage yard will have to remain a restricted zone for a while longer.  

But hopefully the vulnerable will be protected and everyone will stay safe.

We just want to remind folks again that we offer a marvellous delivery service on all used car parts, should you need something to help keep you on the road. Dispatch is usually on the same day of purchase too!

But we are also staying open and operating social distancing as we have been doing since March. And we are open seven days a week 👍

But don't forget you can access so much from our website or by talking to our staff by calling 01204388488.

So if you think your vehicle is in need of looking at then you can count on us. 

You can still scrap your car too, even if you live in a tier three zone. 

Remember that our vehicle collection agents won't need to come into your home so there is no worry about breaking any bubbles. 

Scrapping your car with The Scrappers also means you get the best possible payout for your vehicle. 

The money goes into your bank account and you will be issued with a certificate of destruction which means your car has been scrapped in accordance with government guidelines and dealt with in an environmentally friendly manner. 

And it's always worth bearing in mind that we have some great runners in our yard if you're looking for an inexpensive replacement vehicle. Just tell us what you're looking for! So if you want to buy a cheap van, or buy a cheap car - ask us!
