A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What is the difference between scrapping a car and selling it for parts?

Scrapping a car means selling it to a scrap yard for its metal weight, typically the lowest-value option. Selling for parts means either parting the car out yourself (listing individual components) or selling to a salvage dealer who does the parting. Parting out takes more time and effort but can yield significantly more money, especially if the car has newer or in-demand components like an engine, transmission, or catalytic converter.

Sarah was great! She really helped us get into the exact car we were looking for. I was shocked how fast and seamless the whole process went. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a new car.

Sean and the team are fantastic, and make a complicated process really easy. Not to mention they got us a lease deal on our new jeep at a better price than what we’ve been paying the last 4 years… can’t thank them enough!

Received a call from Elka. It started out fine. She seemed short with an attitude when I asked a series of questions and wanted clarity on numbers due to this being my first lease attempt. I mentioned some lease deals that I saw online and she pretty much told me I wouldn’t be able to get those deals and she begin to stare me into looking at cheaper SUV’s (MRSP). I reached out to a few dealers to get numbers only to be given decent numbers for SUV’s that I was actually interested in with numbers that I liked. I reached back out to Elka to see if she would be willing to hopefully beat that deal using her expertise. And her response was “either work with me or the dealer”. Clearly I’m trying to work with you, but you’re shutting down everything that I present to you as if it’s unrealistic to accomplish. So I think I’ll do this on my own. There was never once a time where I felt like she was on my side, and that she was going to do what would be best for me as her client. Pushback and attitude will never gain you business from folks, especially someone new to this whole leasing thing. Maybe I caught her on a bad day, but she was unpleasant to work with
