Damaged car in Weldon? You can still sell it
If you want to sell your damaged car in Weldon, you don't have to find a buyer who is happy to take on the repair. We buy accident damaged cars and write-offs as they are. Enter the reg and postcode on our instant price form, tell us about the damage, and you will see a price on screen.
Weldon sits on the A43, a busy road with a mix of commuters, lorries and local traffic heading towards Corby or Stamford. Bumps happen, and when the damage is bad enough, a car can go from daily driver to scrap in one afternoon.
What counts as a damaged car?
We buy:
- Cars with front, rear or side impact damage.
- Cars your insurer has written off that you chose to keep (a buy-back).
- Flood damaged cars.
- Cars with damaged suspension or steering that can no longer be driven.
- Cars with bodywork that has been left to rust after a minor knock.
What do the write-off categories mean?
If your insurer wrote the car off, it will have been given a category. Here is what each one means:
| Category | What it means |
|---|---|
| Cat A | The whole car must be crushed |
| Cat B | The body shell must be crushed, some parts can be salvaged |
| Cat S | Structural damage, can be repaired and returned to the road |
| Cat N | Non-structural damage, can be repaired |
If you kept a Cat S, N or B car and now don't want to fix it, we can buy it. Getting a Cat S or N car repaired properly can cost more than people expect, and many owners decide scrapping is the better route. Our scrap or repair guide helps you decide.
How is a damaged car priced?
A damaged car is mostly valued on its weight and the scrap metal price, adjusted for make and model. Damage doesn't stop it being worth something. What matters more is whether the car is complete: the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels. Keys and the V5C help too. Our damaged cars cost guide explains the factors in more detail.
Be honest about the damage when you get your price. The price stands as long as the car matches your description. If something is different when we arrive, we explain before we load, and you can say no.
Getting a damaged car out
A car with a smashed corner or a broken wheel often can't be driven or even rolled. Our collections use recovery trucks from our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, with winches for loading and dollies and skates for wheels that won't turn. Whether the car is on a drive in one of the newer parts of Weldon or on a narrow street near the old centre, we bring what is needed.
After a flood
Low roads can flood after heavy rain, and a car that has been through deep water often has hidden electrical and engine damage. If yours was flooded and the insurer has paid out, or you've decided it isn't worth drying out, we can collect it.
Paperwork for a damaged car
- Photo ID and proof of address, which we must check by law.
- The V5C logbook, if you have it. Keep the yellow slip.
- Any paperwork from your insurer if it was a buy-back.
- Keys, if you have them.
No V5C? See our guide on scrapping a car without a logbook.
How you are paid
We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect. Cash for cars is no longer legal. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash payments for scrap metal, including scrap cars.
Every damaged car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically. Cancel the insurance yourself once the car has gone.
