Here at Take My Scrap Car, one of the questions we find ourselves being asked more than any other is that of how certain services claiming to ‘buy any car’ no-questions-asked do what they do? After all, it’s clear that many of these brands and businesses aren’t in the scrapping or recycling game, so how on earth can they realistically buy any car whatsoever, regardless of its age condition and so on?
And as common sense would probably suggest, the simple answer is they can’t…and indeed they don’t. 
The long and short of it is that it’s a very clever and careful approach to marketing the likes of which doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story. Of course, if you have a car that is in decent condition and still has some life left in it, chances are they’ll take it off your hands and pay you a fair price. If on the other hand your car isn’t exactly what you’d call pristine, you might well find that scrapping and recycling represents a far more realistic and rewarding option.
Transport Troubles
Think of it this way – pretty much every one of these services in operation will only even consider taking a car from a customer if they are able to bring said car to the office or dealership in question. Which is all well and good if the car is still roadworthy, but how about if it is un-taxed, untested, missing three of its four wheels and generally about as roadworthy as a banana?
The answer is of course you got no chance whatsoever – plus the fact that the car doesn’t work means that even if you were to get it to them, it’s pretty unrealistic to expect them to accept it. There may be the odd instance of a car they’re willing to patch up and return to its former glory, but this is rare to say the least.
Intensive Inspections
It’s also worth considering the fact that if and when you do manage to get your car to one of these dealerships, it will have to undergo a relatively intensive and comprehensive inspection before they will consider paying for it. They’ll be more than happy to give you a quote at the first point of contact simply by taking your license plate details, but in terms of actually getting this cash handed over…well, let’s just say it isn’t always as easy as it seems.
