What sets your AL offer

• Scrap steel prices: ~$160/ton in the South region right now; high vehicle volume and mild-climate bodies keep used-parts demand steady.
• Vehicle weight: heavier trucks and SUVs carry more metal.
• Year, make and model: parts demand is higher for common, newer models.
• Condition: whether it runs, and whether the engine, transmission and catalytic converter are intact.
• Title status: a clean title in your name is part of how the offer is set.
• Location: metro offers in AL often run higher than rural ones because tow distances are shorter.
