Determine the extent of damage or wear. This will help in setting realistic expectations for the price.
Title: You'll need the car's title to prove ownership. If you've lost it, you might need to apply for a replacement.
Registration: Some buyers may require this, especially sell your scrap car if the car is still registered.
Check the car thoroughly and remove all your personal items before handing it over.
Scrap Yards: They buy vehicles based on weight and may pay you based on the metal value.
Junk Car Buyers: These companies often pay more because they can sell parts.
Private Buyers: Sometimes individuals buy scrap cars for parts or restoration.
Get multiple quotes to ensure you're getting a fair price.

If you have the time and resources, selling valuable parts (like the battery, tires, or electronics) separately can increase your total earnings.
Negotiate the price if possible. Ensure that the buyer covers the cost of towing if the car is not drivable.
Make sure to complete any required paperwork for the transfer of ownership.
Cancel your car insurance once the sale is complete.
Notify the DMV about the sale to avoid any future liabilities.
Ensure that you receive the agreed payment before the car is towed away.
Following these steps will help you sell your scrap car efficiently and for the best possible price.
