How is a Salvage Car Valued?

While some salvage vehicles have a one-way ticket to the junkyard, others may need less extensive repairs – so how do buyers determine how to value your salvage car?

Here are the factors needed to calculate the salvage value of a car: 

  • Extent of damage: Can it be repaired and rebuilt, or is it toast? Whether it’s wrecked or running will impact its resale or scrap value. Salvaging often fetches more than scrapping.
  • Weight: The heavier the car, the more metal there is. Higher volume = higher payout. Especially if there’s rarer metals in your ride!
  • Market demand for parts: Some models contain reusable, in-demand parts, like catalytic converters, alloy wheels, transmissions, and engines. Got them? That’s more cash in your pocket!
  • Age and Mileage: Vehicles with lower-mileage are often less-worn and more attractive to buyers. The same goes for newer models, which have not yet depreciated in value and still have more life in them.
  • Scrap metal prices: If your vehicle is beyond repair, it’ll be valued on its weight and metals. Scrap metal prices fluctuate constantly, which can influence your valuation.

FAQs

How can I get the best price for my salvage car?

Be honest about your vehicle’s condition, provide accurate information about missing parts, and compare multiple valuations.

How much are salvage title vehicles worth?

The value of a salvage title can be 20%-40% less than a clean title. This will be reflected in your payout. Buyers are willing to pay more for clean title rides that can be legally repaired and resold.

I disagree with my insurance company’s valuation. What can I do?

If you want to contest an insurance company’s valuation of your salvage car, we recommend requesting a comprehensive breakdown, getting independent quotes from buyers like Wheelsaway for comparison, and negotiating. We can give you a second opinion on your car’s salvage worth.
