There are still ways to get money out of a scrap Wrangler that has reached the end of its useful life. Many scrap vehicle evaluators can properly recycle an older car in order to melt down or reuse the parts left inside. You can get paid for the scrap metal left in your vehicle, including steel, aluminum and more.
The heavier your car is, the more cash you can get for scrapping it. However, the car's present location will also affect its scrap value. The price of scrap metal depends on local market rates as well as local, national and international trends, so estimating how much you'll obtain for your vehicle can be tough.
