You might have to give up the car, but what you benefit is the sense that a potential property liability has been lifted from your responsibility. When you scrap a car in Toronto, you would not have to pay to remove it. Most of the metal from the car is recycled, and hence any type of car still has some value attached to it. This metal can come in the form of the recyclable metal frame of the car which goes into plenty of other industrial use areas. Moreover, you are appreciated for your responsible behavior by receiving cash for the scrap car. Yes, we pay top dollars for the scrap cars.

• Selling a Used Car

You will have to advertise the car by putting the car back on the market in order to get offers from potential buyers. Someone buying a used car would either intend to use it on the road after taking it through some service and maintenance for restoration or eventually sell it scrapyard for some cash (back to the first option of towing).
That said, depending on the value of your vehicle, and other factors like if it is on lease, or finance, you can decide to sell it. Old cars from the early 2000s are exempted from this fate.

• Conclusion 

In both the cases, you will get some money for the car. If you have a vehicle that are lightly used, or is on lease or financing – then selling your car is a wise option. If you have a car which has high miles, decade old model then you should scrap the car. Simply because it’s not worth spending more money, or time on advertising, and pushing for a sale.

The scrapping route is the shorter of the two. Not only is there less stress waiting for the car to be bought, but you might also as well get good cash to at least start leasing a newer model of the one dragged away. Selling a car can be a dead end if it is not registered as yours, and also depends upon the vehicle history.

Other indirect benefits of the scrapping option are knowing that we need to recycle more materials originally mined from the earth’s crust, there are plenty of reasons why even when a car is barely unusable, we’d rather have it recycled. This is a responsible and sustainable way. Scraping away the car means less air pollution, no leaking fluids and a healthy environment.
