- Offers in Colchester, VT for a car typically range from $150โ$15,000. The five biggest price factors are: (1) year, make, and model, (2) whether it runs and drives, (3) current VT scrap-metal pricing per ton, (4) vehicle weight (trucks and SUVs pay more), and (5) condition of the catalytic converter, engine, and transmission.
