How much is my Saab worth for scrap?
A Saab 9-3 is typically worth £180 to £280 for scrap. A Saab 9-3 convertible is typically worth £180 to £280 for scrap. A Saab 9-5 is typically worth £230 to £400 for scrap. Newer or damaged Saabs are often worth more for their parts, from £800 to £4,000+. Your price is based on the car itself, not just its weight, and a Saab that does not run or has failed its MOT is still bought.
Saab closed down in 2011, so Saab owners and specialists rely on used parts. That keeps demand steady for the parts on the cars we collect.

These are the typical prices we pay for cars of each size. Your exact price depends on the model, its condition and which parts can be reused, so get a quote with your reg and postcode for the real figure.

Why do Saab owners scrap their cars?
Diesel faults
The 1.9 TiD diesel in the 9-3 can suffer intake swirl flap, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve problems.
Ignition faults
Older petrol Saabs can suffer failed ignition units, causing misfires.
Convertible roof problems
The 9-3 convertible roof can stop working, and the parts are expensive.
Age and rust
Every Saab on the road is now well over ten years old, and rust and wear are common MOT failures.
Should you scrap your Saab or sell it?
| Your Saab | Best option |
|---|---|
| Running, with a long MOT and no big faults | Selling it privately or part-exchanging it may get you more |
| Failed its MOT, or needs a repair that costs more than it is worth | Scrap it with us: free collection and same-day payment |
| Newer, or damaged in an accident, flood or fire | Sell it to us for salvage: the parts are worth far more than scrap |
| Not running, or off the road with a SORN | Scrap it with us: we collect it as it is |
Scrap or salvage?
Scrap means the car is too old or worn to be worth repairing, so it is taken apart, the reusable parts are sold and the rest is recycled. Salvage means the car still has valuable parts, or could be repaired, so it is worth more. Your quote tells you which applies to your Saab and shows you the higher figure.
Is there a Saab scrappage scheme?
We are not aware of a Saab scrappage scheme running at the moment. Manufacturers and dealers sometimes run part-exchange offers on new cars, so it is worth asking your local dealer. If there is no offer, or you are not buying new, scrapping your Saab with us usually gets you the most for it.

What you need to know before you scrap your Saab
Every scrap car has to go to a licensed scrap yard. Our yards are dismantlers, licensed by the Environment Agency or its equivalent, so your Saab is dealt with legally and the parts that can be reused are put to use. By law, scrap cars cannot be paid for in cash, so you are paid by bank transfer the same day.
Have your keys, your logbook (V5C) and photo ID ready when the driver arrives. We tell the DVLA the car has been scrapped, and within 7 days you get a Certificate of Destruction, the official proof it has gone. Any road tax you have paid is refunded automatically.
Saab scrap questions
How much is my Saab worth for scrap?
Most Saabs we buy are worth between £180 and £400 for scrap, depending on the model and its condition. Newer or damaged Saabs can be worth £800 to £4,000+ for their parts. Enter your reg and postcode for your exact price.
Will you buy a Saab that does not run or has failed its MOT?
Yes. We buy every Saab as it is, whether it runs or not, has failed its MOT or has been off the road with a SORN. Collection is free.
Do you buy Saabs with faults like diesel faults?
Yes. The 1.9 TiD diesel in the 9-3 can suffer intake swirl flap, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve problems. We price your Saab on its parts and weight, so a big repair bill does not stop us buying it.
Is there a Saab scrappage scheme?
We are not aware of one running at the moment. Dealers sometimes run part-exchange offers on new cars, so it is worth asking. If you are not buying new, scrapping with us usually gets you the most for your Saab.
Is my Saab worth more for parts than scrap?
Often, yes, if it is newer or has been damaged. Your quote already takes this into account, so you will see the higher figure.
Can I scrap my Saab without the logbook (V5C)?
Yes. Have photo ID and proof of address ready instead, and we will tell the DVLA for you. It does not change your price.
How will I be paid for my Saab?
By bank transfer, the same day it is collected. By law scrap cars cannot be paid for in cash, so be wary of anyone who offers it.
What happens to my Saab after it is collected?
Our yards are dismantlers, so the parts that can be reused are sold and the rest is recycled. We tell the DVLA for you and you get a Certificate of Destruction, the official proof the car has gone, within 7 days.
