Where can I find the scrap value of my car?

I was reading about the cash-for-clunkers program, and was wondering if there is a place to find out the scrap value of a car.
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In calculating the scrap value of your car, one of the factors you should consider is the estimated useful life of your car, in order to determine the monthly depreciation costs. In accounting, the useful life of a car usually averages 10 years. As a birds eye view, when the car reaches its 10th year, the cars' estimated scrap value is pegged at 80% of Open Market Value, this applies for automobiles "registered" prior to May 2002. The Open Market Value is usually found at Vehicle Registration Card. For automobiles listed after May 2002, scrap value is 50% of "ARF."

Accordingly, it is also advisable to dispose of your car as a 2nd hand automobile to merchants who caters to this automobiles.

Assuming you're from NYC, I'd call one of these 5 scrap yards:
