After a record month in September, this month we’ve seen scrap car prices fall slightly. September saw the highest prices on offer for scrap cars so far this year. October has seen prices fall by 2%. But it’s not all doom and gloom this Halloween! Prices haven’t dropped too considerably, October’s prices are still a whopping 97% higher than they were at this time last year and are still the second highest prices we’ve seen all year!
Scrap metal prices for cars do fluctuate. So whilst the current prices could sustain into next month, we can never be certain. Make the most of the second highest prices we’ve seen this year and sell your scrap car now.
The CarTakeBack Scrap Car Price Index is a rolling monthly index covering the last 13 months. It’s updated monthly using the prices paid for scrap cars at CarTakeBack recycling centres throughout the UK. The prices are shown as a percentage, using the first month as the base price.
We’ve taken into account that cars come in all shapes and sizes, which has an effect on their scrap value, by adjusting the prices to show what the average car would be worth. This means that the index gives a great indication of the movement in the value of scrap cars from one month to another.
