If you find yourself in a position where you really (REALLY) need to get rid of an old car as quickly as possible, it quickly dawns on you that it isn’t quite as easy as you’d expect. It’s the same as getting rid of anything that’s large, awkward and cannot be thrown in the bin with everything else – how exactly do you get rid of it when time is a factor?
Well, the thing you have to remember about cars these days is that there are infinitely more of them out and about than ever before in every shape, size and guise imaginable. Or in other words, there are quite literally hundreds of thousands of other people just like you trying to get rid of their own cars, which in its own right can make it even more difficult. 
Nevertheless, Take My Scrap Car is always willing to point folk in the right direction when it comes to doing what’s best by them and the greater good in general. So the way we see it, you essentially have four options if you really want to get rid of your old car as quickly as possible, which are as follows:
1 – Sell it Cheap
First of all, selling an old car that isn’t in particularly good condition these days means selling it cheap…and very cheap at that. You only need to look at the kinds of prices being asked for quality used cars these days to realise that when it comes to the kinds of knackered old bangers they use to sell like hot cakes in years gone by, nobody’s interested anymore. If buyers want a decent car, they buy one second hand or arrange credit. If they want an ultra-cheap car, they come to people like you!
2 – Give it Away
And then of course there’s always the semi-nuclear option of giving your car away, which may be a much easier job but to be perfectly honest isn’t recommended. There will always be plenty of people out there willing to take your car off your hands to be used for spare parts or even reconditioned and put back into use. Nevertheless, there’s one very good reason we would advise not choosing this particular option, which you will find in entry number 4.
3 – Car Buying Services
Before that though, if your car really is in decent enough condition, is still fully operational and has plenty of life left in it, you can always try your luck with of one of those services that claim to buy any car. Which indeed they do, but only if you can get the car to them in the first place, have it pass a series of rigorous tests and generally meet their approval. If it doesn’t pass their tests, they most certainly will not buy any car as their catchy marketing slogans seem to suggest, so don’t be surprised if it turns out to be a big fat fail.
4 – Scrap and Recycle
Last but not least, there’s always the option of coming to Take My Scrap Car for the best possible deal when it comes to car scrapping and recycling. We can’t promise to pay you a fortune, but we can certainly promise to pay you the best possible price in accordance with scrap values at the time. Not only this, but we will take your car off your hands 100% free of charge, no matter where you are or what time/date works for you.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we never recommend giving your car away for free – Take My Scrap Car will pay you for it!
