Paying cash for cars is part of the vehicle recycling process that dismantles derelict automobiles for spare parts or scrap metal. The exchange of cash for cars has since become a corollary trade in the automotive industry to promote efforts on environmental protection and social responsibility. ==United States== In the United States, the US Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) Vehicle Recycling Partnership (VRP) LLC sees to the proper management of end-of-life vehicles in the United States in particular, and the North American continent in general. In 1991, USCAR's VRP – which includes DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation – began its intensive campaign to maximize vehicle recycling in the United States. Today, more than 95 per cent of all vehicles in the United States go through a market-driven recycling infrastructure, with no added cost or tax to customers. More than 75 per cent, by weight, of each end-of-life vehicle (ELV) is recycled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vehicle Recycling Partnership )〕 With American automakers taking a proactive stance in government and private industry efforts on vehicle recycling, the cash-for-cars trade has become more lucrative than ever. The simple process is highly beneficial for the environment and even more beneficial to customers (sellers of ELV). In the cash-for-cars trade, the amount the junk car will pay varies greatly based on the year of the car but on average ranges between $150 to $500. In 1976, Hughes v. Alexandria Scrap Corp. was argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. It was a result of the creation of a program in Maryland with regard to purchasing junked cars and paying a bounty to licensed scrap processors who had exchanged cash for cars bearing the State's license plates. The issue on the table was to determine whether such a program, which provided for imposing more stringent documentation requirements on out-of-state processors, Constitutionally discriminated against or burdened interstate commerce on car dealerships exchanging cash for cars that had been rendered unserviceable. The case effectively favored the State.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hughes v. Alexandria Scrap Corp., 426 U.S. 794 (1976). )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cash for cars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
