Scrap my car in Newport online

The running costs are too expensive  

Car insurance alone is enough to make a lot of local motorists start thinking about whether it's worth owning a car in the city. Motorists in Newport are currently paying more for their car insurance than anywhere else in South Wales, and the average annual cost sits at £719. That's not just because of the recent 3% increase, but because the car insurance in Newport is rising five times faster than the rate of inflation. While all cars need to have money spent on them if they are to remain legal and safe to drive, when those costs become excessive, it can be hard to know what to do. It's the high running costs and frustrating price increases of car insurance that are seeing more locals than ever getting cash for scrap cars in Newport. Rather than just keeping on paying, motorists are making some quick cash instead and considering alternative means of transport.

You're getting too old to drive  

Newport has a diverse, vibrant, and multicultural demographic. However, out of the 153,000 people that live there, 22,369 are over the age of 65. So, it's not really a surprise to find that one of the top reasons for locals to sell their cars to scrap car dealers in Newport is down to age-related issues. Although getting older is itself not a barrier to excellent driving (younger drivers have higher car insurance costs for a reason!), the fact is that failing eyesight or memory can dramatically affect driving safety. Matters are made particularly worse if a driver has recently had a heart attack or stroke. It's down to age that we see a lot of people asking if it's possible to sell a car to scrap metal dealers in Newport. Rather than making the roads more dangerous, those local motorists are getting some quick cash that they can use on more fun activities.

You find public transport preferable

You can't fault the public transport network in Newport. Not only is it exceptional, but it's also getting better every year. From the introduction of the first electric buses in Wales, and the promise of even more on the way, Newport is becoming a showcase for what's possible in terms of getting out and about without having to rely on a car. That's more than evident when you look at the stats for vehicle ownership in Newport. Currently, an incredible 30.5% of all households in the city have no car, which is a figure that's much higher than both the Welsh and the UK average. When it's so easy, cheap, and fast to get wherever you need to go without having to get behind the wheel yourself, it's no wonder that not only are locals getting cash for scrap cars in Newport but are deciding not to invest that cash into a new car.

The car has failed its MOT

The national average for MOT failures is 35% (which is already excessively high). In Newport, that number rises to 36.1%. For older cars, the percentage only goes up, and there are a lot of 1999 of cars on the roads of the city that have a 46.9% chance of failing their MOT. The result of all of those old cars isn't just a lot of dangerous vehicles on the roads of the city, it's also a cause for a lot of spending. When a car fails its MOT, you have little choice but to pay for repairs and then shell out for another test. Rather than keeping on pumping money into an old car, Newport residents are finding out just how easy it is to sell a car without an MOT in Newport. With our free car collection service, you don't just get paid, we also pick up your car for free. 

You could use the money for other things

Although the employment figures for Newport are good, with as much as 73.8% of the city in work, there are still 7000 households in the area that don't have a single working member. That's a lot of people struggling from month to month. That means that getting a surprise bill can have long-term repercussions and the constant juggling of finances. Matters are made even worse in the run-up to Christmas when accessing emergency money becomes so vital. It used to be that options for getting hold of some quick cash were limited to payday loans, but that's become an option that many immediately dismiss thanks to high-interest rates. Instead, local motorists are finding out just how easy it is to sell a car to scrap metal dealers in Newport, get paid immediately, and not have to worry about paying back anything. It's the smart option that can help cover those unexpected bills.

Your car’s no longer safe to drive      

There are a lot of cars in Newport that were registered in or before 1999. With such an abundance of older vehicles on the road, that means a lot of cars being used that simply aren't suitably safe enough to drive. When cars registered in Newport in 1999 have an MOT failure rate of 46.9%, there are far too many cars that are being driven that just aren't safe. From worn tyres or brake pads, or even just a cracked windscreen that affects visibility, paying for those constant repairs can be out of financial reach for a lot of locals. Instead of having to save up to make these repairs, and having to spend that money always, local motorists are selling even the most damaged cars in Newport for high prices. Thanks to our free car collection service, they never have to get behind the wheel of those dangerous cars ever again.

You want a hassle-free way of selling your car

The city has been ranked the third-best place in the whole of the UK for quality of life, with locals being happy and friendly as a result. Unfortunately, selling a car privately means seeing those happy locals at the worst time. The UK car-buying public are rarely in the best of moods, and many will be hyper-alert to the fact that they might be getting ripped off. That means a lot of tyre-kicking, a lot of haggling, and a lot of wasted time. In the hunt for a more convenient, fast, and hassle-free way of making some money from their old cars, locals realise that they can sell those cars quickly, hassle-free, and still get the best prices possible from our scrap dealers in Newport. They are avoiding taking days off work to hang about for a buyer that never shows and getting an easy sale instead.

Scrap a car if it's not being used

Although Newport has one of the lowest rates of car ownership in the UK, there are still 69.5% of households in the city that do have a vehicle of some kind. However, with the rapid growth of public transport use and the fact that even more rural areas have access to large supermarkets, many of those cars are getting a lot less use than they should. Leaving a car unused doesn't mean that it stops costing you money because you still have to pay for road tax and car insurance (unless you declare it SORN). Rather than keeping hold of an old car that's getting worse while still carrying on paying out excessive insurance prices, locals are getting cash for scrap cars in Newport. That money is then being spent on attentive means of travel that get a lot more use and more miles for less money.

Your car is written off  

Covering just 73.5 square miles and being the gateway between Wales and England means a lot of traffic in a small area. That means there are many cars on some of the dodgiest roads in the whole of Wales. Matters are made worse if there's been a crash on the M4, but even without that happening, there are still high levels of congestion and long queues. Archibald Street is notorious, and the B4596 is a nightmare that sees drivers in the wrong lane far more often than being in the right one. Being involved in a car accident is, sadly, all too likely, and that means knowing what to do with damaged cars in Newport. When the costs of making repairs far outweigh the value of the car itself, then it's pointless to make those repairs. Instead, selling your old wreck to the best scrap dealers in Newport means making more money than you thought.

You’re looking for a part-exchange  

Since there are so many older cars in the town, car prices are traditionally 15% cheaper in Newport than anywhere else in wales. While that's great news for those trying to buy a car, it's not ideal for those trying to sell one. One way to get a new car is to use your old vehicle as part-exchange, but this comes with some significant financial risks. That's because even the best car dealerships in Newport will want to make the most profit possible, and that means you get much less than the real value of the car you no longer want. When you sell a car to our scrap metal dealers in Newport, you don't just get the maximum value of your car. You also get immediate payment, and that means knowing exactly what your budget is when you head out to a car dealership, and a lot more power to negotiate.
