Cars are worth something until the day they’re melted down for scrap metal. As long-time participants in auto recycling Aurora we know that if you’ve got a car that is ‘developed in years’, has been in an accident, would cost more to fix than it’s worth or has a hex placed on it from an evil ex girlfriend, and you’re wondering how much is my car worth—then you should give Carcone’s a call. Our experts can assess the value of your car right over the phone and give you a quote based on its weight and the current price of the metal(s) contained in the car—all in one phone call.
We bet you were hoping for us to pick a magical number out of a hat, like “your car is worth exactly $378.67” instead of recommending that you call us. Well, our jobs would be easier if we could pull a random number out of a random hat, or even to have one flat price—but auto recycling just isn’t that easy.
So, How Much is My Car Worth?
While we can’t tell you how much your car is worth in terms of auto recycling Aurora, we can help you understand how we price the cars that we recycle.
Our quotes come from evaluating the Curb Weight of your vehicle. We use a book value to determine the curb weight of your vehicle—which is the manufacturer’s determined weight of the vehicle without any additional weight added like drivers, passengers and cargo. The curb weight also includes all the fluids and vehicle components.
To find the curb weight of your car, simply plug it’s make, model and year into Google with the term “curb weight” and it should spit back a few thousand results that will give you an idea of your vehicle’s curb weight. Note though that the internet isn’t always spot-on with its reliability so compare the numbers and use that as a basic reference points. Of course, you can always call Carcone’s and we can give you the exact, manufacturer-defined curb weight. Once you have the curb weight you need to multiply that by the current price of steel and whatever over major metals are in your car (many cars are primarily steel). Once again you can Google for the current weight, which will give you equal unreliability, or just save yourself the time and call Carcone’s.
