Repair or Scrap? How to Decide When Your Car Is at End of Life
When repair bills approach the car's market value, scrapping often makes more financial sense. Here is how to decide.
Compare repair cost with value
If the repair quote is more than half the vehicle's market value, scrapping may be the better choice.
Check safety and roadworthiness
Structural rust, airbag faults and failed brakes can make an older car unsafe to keep on the road.
Consider ongoing costs
Registration, insurance and constant minor repairs add up quickly on an ageing car.
Think about the environment
Recycling an end-of-life vehicle recovers valuable metals and reduces landfill waste.
