We're happy to report that the prices paid for scrap cars have picked up again this month! After a slower rise in June, we have experienced an impressive 7% increase in the value of scrap cars in July. What's caught our eye, is that people have been getting 41% more money for their scrap car in July 2019, than those who scrapped their car in July 2018. That's a huge increase!

With the uncertainty of scrap metal prices, this price rise may not last long, so if you have a driveway that needs clearing of that old car, now is the perfect time to do it, to get top cash for your scrap car.

The CarTakeBack Scrap Car Price Index is updated monthly using the prices on offer for scrap cars at CarTakeBack recycling centres throughout Australia. It is intended to give an indication of the movement in the price from one month to another, with the prices being shown as a percentage. Cars come in all shapes and sizes which has an effect on their scrap value, so prices have been adjusted to show what the average car would be worth.
