What your Saab 900 is actually worth at scrap
Here's the thing with the Saab 900: because Saab stopped building cars in 2011, used 900 parts are increasingly scarce — and the enthusiast community that keeps these cars alive will pay well for good ones. A complete, solid 900 (especially a Turbo or convertible) is worth far more broken for parts than melted for metal. Turbo units, convertible roof parts, interior trim, and lights are the scarce, sought-after items.
Catalytic converter alone: £80-£200 (earlier cars often pre-cat or simple cats). If yours has been stolen or removed, expect roughly £80-£200 off the typical range — we'll factor it in honestly when you send the reg, not surprise you on collection.
What breakers buy your Saab 900 for
We don't just sell your car as raw steel. We shop it to specialist breakers who pay premium for the parts that hold value on this model:

Recent Saab 900 we collected
"Collected a 1994 900 Turbo convertible from Leigh-on-Sea recently — the engine was tired and the roof had stopped working, but the body was largely solid. Paid £480 cash because the turbo, roof parts, and trim were exactly what a Saab specialist breaker was after. A generic instant-quote site had offered the owner £95."

Saab 900s reach us in two states: tired daily-driver survivors that have finally rusted or failed mechanically, and project cars an owner has run out of time or money for. Either way, the enthusiast parts demand means we can usually pay more than you'd expect for a 'dead' Saab.
How it works
1. WhatsApp us with your reg
Send the registration number, the model, and a quick description of the condition (running, non-running, MOT failure, etc.). One photo is helpful but not essential.
2. We shop your Saab 900 around and quote you
We get prices from the licensed scrap yards and specialist breakers we work with — the people who pay top whack for Saab parts in particular — and come back to you with the best one. Usually within minutes. No obligation if you don't like the number.
3. We collect, pay you, and handle the paperwork
Once you accept, we arrange a collection time that suits you — same-day where possible. We pay you cash on collection, take the car to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, and make sure your DVLA notification and Certificate of Destruction come through properly.
Any condition — we'll take it
We collect Saab 900s in any state, including:
Saab 900 scrap — frequently asked
Why would a Saab 900 be worth more than a normal scrap car?
Because Saab stopped production in 2011, used 900 parts are scarce and the enthusiast community pays well to keep these cars on the road. A complete 900 — especially a Turbo or convertible — is worth far more broken for parts than scrapped for metal. We shop your Saab around to the specialists who actually want it, rather than the metal merchants.
My Saab 900 is rotten or doesn't run — still worth collecting?
Often yes. Even a rusty or non-running 900 carries valuable parts (turbo, trim, lights, roof mechanisms, switchgear) that are hard to find now. We bring a recovery truck for non-runners. WhatsApp us a couple of photos and the reg and we'll give you an honest figure.
Do you handle the paperwork for an older classic like the 900?
Yes — same as any car. We notify the DVLA, deliver the car to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, and pass the Certificate of Destruction back to you. If you have a private or cherished plate, retain it before collection — we'll remind you.
Do I need to be there when you collect the car?
Yes — we'll need to see your ID, the V5C if you have it, and have you sign the disposal paperwork. The whole collection takes about 10-15 minutes.
What if I've lost the V5C (logbook)?
Not a problem. We can still collect — we'll help you handle the DVLA notification. It just takes a little longer to process.
Will I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes. We deliver every car to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) and the CoD comes through to you within 7-14 days. This is what legally clears you of any future liability for the car.
