Scrap my car in Norwich online

The running costs are too expensive  

Although it's isolated location far away from the major cities of the UK means that insurance costs in the town are lower than average, even within Norwich, the price of insurance can vary wildly. Even a postcode difference of just 50 yards can see a £100 difference in the annual cost of insurance in Norwich. Maintenance and repairs are expensive too, with the average motorist in the town paying £337.04 every time they fail their latest MOT, compared to Newcastle, where it's just £318. What this means is that too many local drivers are paying more than they expected just to be able to use the cars. To avoid continuously paying over the odds for owning a car, many local drivers are realising that they can get cash for scrap cars in Norwich and use that money to either invest in a car that's cheaper to insure or to consider alternative means of transport that won't break the bank.

Scrap a car if it's not being used  

When 66% of households have a car, but the public transport system is seeing a 2% increase every year in the number of users, the result is a lot of cars being left at home. Due to its size, even going shopping only means a short journey, and most of the boroughs of Norwich have dedicated stores in their locality. What this means is that there are a lot of cars that are sitting in the delightful Norwich weather and slowly getting worn down by wind, rain, and the occasional bursts of sun. The longer a car is left unused, the faster it will develop maintenance issues, and that means having to spend even more when you do have to use it. Of course, you also still have to pay road tax and insurance, unless you have SORNed your car. Now, you can sell that unused car to scrap dealers in Bradford and stop having to worry about paying out ever again for that vehicle. If you have SORNed your car, we even do free car collection too!

You find public transport preferable

For getting around the city itself, walking and cycling are incredibly easy and increasingly popular. For slightly longer journeys, the local bus service is exceptional and offers frequent routes and times so that waiting times are never too long. The train service is useful for day trips to the Norfolk Broads or to the coast too. Despite its size, Norwich is very well connected, so it's no wonder that so many people that live in and around the city are choosing to stop using their cars entirely. By relying on public transport instead, those households are realising that they can get where they need to be without having to pay out constantly for a car that's simply not needed. By selling a car to professional scrap metal dealers in Norwich who pay the best prices, it's very easy to buy long-term public transport passes that slash your travel costs, improve congestion levels, and reduce air pollution.

The car has failed its MOT

Although slightly lower than the national average of 35%, Norwich cars fail their MOT at a rate of around 34%. Most commonly, faulty lights, broken reflectors, and dangerous electricals are the reason for the relatively high rate of MOT failures in the city. When a car in Norwich does fail its MOT, the price of repairs tends to be around an average of £337. That's slightly cheaper than Glasgow or Leeds drivers, but it's still higher than those in Newcastle. Lots of locals think that they can't sell a car without an MOT in Norwich, but that's a misconception. Although you can't drive a car without a valid MOT, apart from in a very few and very specific circumstances, you can actually sell your car easily and conveniently even if it doesn't have a valid MOT. So if you can't afford to pay for MOT repairs, or you've had enough of that old car consistently failing, then it might be time to get rid of that car, make some money, and buy something a little more reliable

You could use the money for other things

Norwich residents have the 13th highest levels of personal debt in the UK, with the average local having around £1,750 on credit cards alone. Others are in a far more serious financial situation, with many locals included on a debt management plan that owe over £19k. When you're already struggling financially, it can be hard to justify keeping an old car that is costing too much to run or that you can't afford to fill up with petrol. That's made even worse when an unexpected bill appears out of the blue. With money being so tight, it can be hard to know what to do when you need access to some emergency cash. That's why so many local households are selling old cars to scrap dealers in Norwich. Without the nightmare repayments that you get with payday loans, selling a car for scrap in Norwich is quick, easy, and means that you don't have to keep paying out for a car that you no longer want.

Your car’s no longer safe to drive      

Cars have to work hard when they're being used in Norwich. While the congestion rates aren't as bad as in other cities of a similar size, local drivers still spend around 20 minutes out of every hour stuck in traffic. However, the road management of the city is a major bone of contention with locals, with the city's roads being dug up, altered, relined, and resurfaced in seemingly random places, and multiple times. That causes more gridlock, a lot of frustrated drivers, and a higher rate of accidents. Of course, as cars get older, they suffer inevitable wear and tear, but when your car is so degraded that it's become a danger, combined with the frustrating Norwich roads, you start putting lives at risk. In order to avoid this, locals are selling their unsafe cars to scrap dealers in Norwich. They can then use that money to buy something more suited to the unique Norwich road management.

Your car is costing you a fortune to maintain

The costs of making repairs after a failed MOT are already high, but what about when you're spending money all year round on basic maintenance just so that your car is usable? Norwich is the single most complete medieval city in the whole of the UK, but motorists aren't paying medieval prices to keep their cars functional and safe. For local students and full-time residents, those maintenance costs can simply spiral out of control, and that often leaves them with a car that can't be used until money is spent. Rather than continuing to throw money at an old and unreliable car, more and more Norwich motorists are getting cash for scrap cars in Norwich. Rather than spending money, they are getting cash payments sent directly to their bank accounts. Some buy a car that's cheaper to maintain, while others are looking at alternative travel options, but whatever you decide to spend your payment on, it's better than handing it over to a local garage yet again.

Your car is very fuel inefficient    

A high number of older cars on the road, combined with the gridlock and traffic congestion, means that a lot of people are spending money on fuel that's just being thrown away. Older cars will always need a gradual increase in the amount of fuel that they need to make a specific journey, and there comes a point where you're spending a lot more on fuel but still not making it to where you need to be. Fuel-efficiency doesn't just end up costing you money either. By burning through more petrol or diesel, you are only adding to the air pollution in Norwich. Whether it's environmental responsibility or the frustration of paying out more and more on petrol, more local drivers are selling their fuel-inefficient cars to scrap metal dealers in Norwich. While some are then reinvesting that cash into a better and more fuel-efficient car, others are forgoing vehicle ownership entirely.

Your car is written off  

The unpredictable roadworks, congestion bottlenecks, and the high number of old cars on the road means that accidents and vehicle collisions are inevitable in Norwich. Being involved in any kind of car accident is stressful, but the added worries about what to do with a damaged car only add to the stress. Far too many car owners think that they have no choice but to send a badly damaged car to a landfill, but there are other options. We buy all kinds of cars, and even the most damaged cars in Norwich are worth more than you think. If you got an old car that's going to need some serious money spent on it before it can be driven again, or if the cost of repairs after an accident are more expensive than buying a new car, it's good to know that you have the option of getting cash for scrap cars in Norwich even if they have been written off.

You’re looking for a part-exchange  

Although the 66% of households with access to a car is lower than the national average of 75%, that's still higher than a lot of similarly sized towns and cities. So although Norwich is smaller in population than other cities, it still has a lot of households who want the best car they can afford. That means a lot of sales, which tends to result in a lot of part-exchanges. The only problem is that doing a part-exchange when you're in the market for a better car is a quick way to get less of a bargain. That's because part-exchanges put all of the power in the hands of the person buying your old car. They can dictate the value of it, and that value will depend on their mood or how close they are to reaching their sales targets. When you use the increasingly popular alternative of getting cash for scrap cars in Norwich, you are going to get the real value of the car. That means you have more buying power and instant access to the cash you need to upgrade your vehicle.
