Expert Nissan Altima Junk Car Buyers

As specialist buyers of Japan vehicles, we have deep knowledge of Nissan's engineering history dating back to 1933.Major Japanese automaker. Altima, Sentra, Rogue, and Pathfinder are popular. Also makes Z sports car and GT-R.

Nissan has long been a key player in the Mainstream market. However, like all machinery, they eventually reach end-of-life.The Altima, in particular, is a vehicle we frequently purchase.When the time comes, it's crucial to sell to a buyer who understands the salvage value of the components.

Model Specific Insight:

The Altima features I4, V6, I4 Turbo engines that are always in demand for remanufacturing. Don't let a dealership lowball you on a trade-in when the scrap value might be higher!

Market Value Analysis

Nissan vehicles, despite being in active production, hold specific scrap value characteristics. Our valuation model accounts for:

  • Precious Metals: Catalytic converters in Nissan cars often contain high volumes of Platinum and Palladium.
  • Aluminum Content: Many Altima parts are aluminum, which trades higher than steel.
  • Global Demand: We export components for Nissan to markets where these cars are still heavily driven.

Currently, we are seeing <strong>high</strong> demand for Nissan Altima parts.This allows us to be extremely aggressive with our pricing.
