It\u2019s the sort of thing that economists and other specialists were keeping a keen eye on, and if you had any plans for scrapping your car at some point in the near future, there\u2019s a good chance you did as well! Happily, if you\u2019re one of those people then we\u2019ve got some good news for you &#8211; prices for scrap cars actually rose in September.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s happening?<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to the coronavirus, most sectors here in the UK aren\u2019t trading at anywhere near the level that they\u2019d normally be at this time of year. So with that outlook, you can understand why market analysts were fairly cautious in their assessments for the last quarter of the year. They did at least agree that the prices paid for scrap cars were likely to be fairly steady in August, but not everyone expected that the prices in September would actually increase by 4% compared to August. Not just that, but it\u2019s actually a 6% improvement on this time last year, too!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s part of an overall trend of upward growth as the market recovers from the worst impacts of Covid-19. More showrooms have now reopened, and enough consumers now feeling confident to buy new cars in greater numbers. So if you\u2019re the kind of person who likes to get the maximum amount for your scrap car &#8211; and let\u2019s be honest, who doesn\u2019t? &#8211; then now is a fantastic time to scrap your car!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scrapcarnetwork.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SCN-Crane-Claw.jpg\" alt=\"SCN-Crane-Claw\" width=\"800\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scrapcarnetwork.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SCN-Crane-Claw.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.scrapcarnetwork.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SCN-Crane-Claw-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scrapcarnetwork.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SCN-Crane-Claw-768x336.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How can I get the best price?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re asking this question, you\u2019ll be glad to hear that you\u2019ve already completed one of the most effective steps!
