The average life span of a new car these days is about eight years or 150,000 miles. However, well-built vehicles can last 15 years and 300,000 miles, stretching out that initial sale price until you’ve gotten tremendous value. But once your car's time is up, your best option is to sell it to a scrapyard. Here are some of the best reasons to have your old car hauled off for cash.

4 Reasons to Sell Your Car to a Scrapyard

1. It's Too Expensive to Fix

Once it reaches a certain age or mileage, a car becomes too expensive to fix, and it's just not worth the additional investment. You'd simply be throwing good money after bad. Once breakdowns become commonplace and repairs become more and more costly, it's time to retire the vehicle with a scrapyard.

2. Enjoy the Convenience

A scrap metal company will take the car as it is. There's no need to spend hundreds to have it repaired, clean it up, put it on the market, field phone calls, or schedule appointments with prospective buyers. Simply make one phone call, and a wrecker will come to your location and haul the old vehicle away.

3. Earn Quick Cash

A scrapyard normally pays cash. If you need a few hundred quick bucks for summer spending money or to pay off bills, consider the benefits of selling your old beater to a junkyard.

4. Get Rid of the Eyesore

If you've been dithering about whether to repair and sell the car or give it to your gearhead nephew to tinker with, the car has likely sat too long in one place and is becoming an eyesore. Call a scrapyard to have it hauled away, and it'll finally be out of your hair. Additionally, many of its parts will be put to additional use, and its scrap metal will be recycled. Very little of the car will end up in a landfill.
