Thread: How much is a car worth at the scrappie?

Maybe ring Pick A Part at Clayton to get an idea/comparison

Check your local yellow pages under vehicle removals, ring and ask how much. Got rid of a couple of bombs and got $200 -300 for them and they pick up and take away.
Scrap prices have fallen from $295 a ton to a lot less now I believe

$80 a tonne (at the yard) here in Bundy. That makes an Excel worth about $60-70. Wreckers would probably value it at a LITTLE bit more.

Just rang around a few scrap places in Morwell and locally here in Drouin, been offered $100.00 at the gate, might swap the battery for a dead one I have and drive it in.

I do scrap for a living, in NSW you would be lucky to get $100 a tonne, less the $30 env. levy.
Got to the point that we will be charging to take cars to scrap, Regards Frank.

If you got $90.00 from the scrap yard consider yourself lucky. To get the best value at the scrap yards is to dismantle it and take it in pieces. That way you can separate the copper from the aluminium from the steel. If you can get rid of the tyres before hand even better.
