Higher Scrappage Rate Means More Junk Cars Off the Road

A recent study from IHS Markit showed that, despite a growing number of older vehicles on the road, the scrappage rate went up last year. In 2019, the scrappage rate was 5.1%, compared to 4.6% in 2016 and 4.2% in 2009.

IHS Markit found it surprising, considering that 2016 saw record car sales and 2009 was the year that the federal government implemented the “Cash for Clunkers” program, in which car owners were given financial incentives to turn in their older vehicles and use the money as a down payment on a new car.

Scrappage, according to IHS, is “the measure of vehicles exiting the active population.” A higher scrappage rate means more junk cars are coming off the road. If you decide keeping your junk car is no longer viable, don’t keep it! Get money for it by selling it to the Long Island “cash for cars” experts at Gershow Recycling.

As older cars continue to age, they use up more fuel and emit more pollution into the air. If you are looking to sell your gas-guzzling junk car and help preserve the environment, contact Gershow. They will buy your junk car, no matter how old it is or what condition it’s in. Once your junk car is brought to Gershow, it is recycled and manufactured into a high-quality scrap product that can be used in the manufacturing process to build a newer, more fuel-efficient car.

Gershow buys thousands of junk cars each year from hardworking Long Islanders and puts cold, hard cash back into their pockets.

We are very proud of all of our highly rated reviews and customer feedback.

The process was easy and the tow truck driver was very communicative about when he'd be there and what to expect. He called 25 minutes before pick up and confirmed all the information again and the pick up was smooth and fast.
Smooth operation, friendly employees

Ease of arranging car pick up was good. I did call the number given to me in the follow up to accept my offer and it took a few calls to the main number to get someone to call me back. Neal’s towing was assigned to do my pickup which was scheduled for between 10am and 12 Pm. At 1:40 I called the towing company they said he was running behind. The tow did not come until after 4 pm! The driver apologized for the delay , I received my payment in cash and my car was loaded on the tow! Would use again but would have appreciated someone from either company to call and keep me informed of the delay.
First time here very easy ... Massive operation and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes with cash in hand.. got rid of 400 lb of steel from an old shed.
