If you have an old diesel car sitting in your driveway, it’s likely that the car is either barely running or not running at all. But before you get rid of it, you may be able to get some money back from the car. If you know what you’re doing, you can easily get hundreds or even thousands of dollars off the price of your vehicle and put it toward another car or a major household expense. So, how do you scrap your old diesel car? This guide will show you everything you need to know to get the most money possible when selling your old diesel car.

Check the Kelley Blue Book Value

Check your Kelley Blue Book Value online or at a car dealership and see what they would give you in trade-in value. If your car is worth more than $2000, try to sell it yourself. If not, have a certified mechanic inspect it and get an estimate of its true value by checking with local junk yards. As a last resort, take it to a scrap yard and be sure to know the 3skrotpriser before going so you can get the most money possible.

See What Local Dealerships are offering

To find out what your car is worth, call up at least three scrapyards and ask them. You'll find that prices vary depending on the type of vehicle and where you live. In Copenhagen, a recent study by 3skrotpriser (a scrapyard comparison website) found that Skrotpræmie København offered the highest price of €1400 with a waiting time of 15 days. In contrast, a Swedish dealer offered €1250 with no wait time but only if it was in perfect condition.

Find Out If There Are Any Special Incentives

Incentives vary by country and time of year, but you can always count on there being a few that apply universally. For example, scrap yards offer 3skrotpriser (three prices) when it comes to scrap metal. This means that they'll offer you a price for your car before you even bring it in. If this is higher than what your car is worth, then go ahead and bring it in! You'll be able to get more money than if you just sold it outright. Additionally, many countries also have Skrotpræmie København (Scrap Metal Incentive Copenhagen), where they'll give you an even higher price per kilo of metal if your scrap metal was once used as roadways or other public infrastructure.

Determine If You Need to Sell Privately

The first step is to determine if you need a private sale. If you do, then you can skip the rest of this post. If not, read on! We recommend using online platforms such as Skrotpræmie København that allow anyone in Denmark who needs or wants a car to list their diesel car on them. These platforms make it easy for private buyers to find and purchase your old diesel cars without having to go through any hassle of contacting sellers themselves.

Set a Reasonable Asking Price

The first step is identifying what you want to ask for your old diesel car. It's important that you are realistic about how much you want to sell it for. If your asking price is too high, it may take a long time before someone buys it from you. Too low and people will think that there's something wrong with it. Make sure that you have all of the paperwork in order while listing your vehicle online or in person with a dealer. In Denmark, Skrotpræmie København will pay cash on the spot and buy any diesel car no matter its age or condition and they offer free pickup service.
