What are the impacts on car owners when selling a car as scrap metal?
1 Answers
Selling a car as scrap metal has the following specific impacts on the owner: 1. Inability to deregister: If the car is directly sold as scrap metal, scrap metal yards generally cannot issue valid recycling certificates. Without complete documentation, deregistration cannot be processed. To deregister a vehicle, it must first be scrapped at an official motor vehicle recycling company, and only after obtaining the relevant recycling certificate can the vehicle's records be deregistered. 2. New vehicles cannot be registered: If the car is directly sold as scrap metal without deregistering it, this will affect subsequent driver's license inspections, and the vehicle management department will suspend the registration of any newly purchased vehicles. Additionally, if the vehicle is privately sold or dismantled for scrap, the owner will also lose the right to register new vehicles.
