To be frank, no time of year is a particularly bad time to scrap your car. If you’re driving a vehicle that’s uncomfortable, unsafe or generally unpleasant, the quicker you upgrade, the better.

Nevertheless, we can think of at least a few good reasons why scrapping your car in the run up to Christmas can be surprisingly satisfying. If it’s something you’ve been putting off indefinitely, here’s why taking the plunge now could be the way to go:

Extra Cash

Right off the bat, this is precisely the time of year where every little helps. You’re not going to receive a fortune for your scrap car, but we can at least promise to pay you the best possible price – based on scrap values at the time.

The cash is transferred directly into your bank account on the day of collection, after which you’re free to do with it as you like.

Avoid the Hassle of Selling

Attempting to shift a second-hand car in less-than ideal condition these days is never easy. Though it’s worse during the dark and cold months of the winter – not taking into account all the additional risks of virus transmission and whatnot.

A quick and easy alternative being to simply scrap your car, which (as mentioned above) will leave you with something in your pocket to show for it.

Winter Weather

Are you absolutely 100% sure that your car is fit to survive another winter? Is there any doubt in your mind that it could leave you stranded in the worst possible place at the worst possible time, or heighten the risk of you being involved in an accident?

Comfort and Enjoyment

Of course, it could simply be that the car you’re driving is so cold, uncomfortable and generally unpleasant that driving it has become a chore.  Even if it’s not entirely unbearable in the summer, you could be looking at several months of hideous driving conditions ahead.

In which case, you may as well quit procrastinating and get it done ASAP. 

Cheaper Deals on New Cars

Last up, this also tends to be the time of year when new and used car prices plummet. Not only are comparatively few people shopping for cars right now, but the whole COVID saga has forced desperate dealers to take desperate measures.

Right now, there are some unbeatable deals to be scored on all types of new and used cars. Another reason why now could be the time to scrap your old vehicle, and put a little cash in your pocket for doing so.
