Answer
Current scrap steel prices in Whangarei are approximately $120–$160 per tonne (May 2026). A typical 1,200kg passenger car contains approximately 600–700kg of steel — worth $72–$112 at scrap metal rates. Add aluminium and copper content and the scrap metal total is typically $150–$350. Our dual assessment adds parts market value on top — typically $300–$2,000 more depending on the make and model.
