Scrappy Money

Have you ever thought of earning money from your old bomb? I’m talking about your old car, old van, old truck! Did you know that Melbourne has come up with a new monetising business which is accepting all kinds of vehicles – be it scrap, working, non-functioning, written off, water or fire damaged or even rusted through. There comes a point in time where your old vehicle isn’t being used and all it is doing is taking up space. It may have been reliable and resistant back in the day, but it is out of its prime now. Having an old truck or van or any other vehicle that is not working properly can be a real menace for the driver. When you look at the repair and maintenance costs, you start to question; is it worth it? Even selling it as a repairable vehicle is difficult as many potential buyers would think twice and fear the worst. The longer you go without selling it, the higher the frustration level.

There is an alternative though. Instead of holding onto that slim hope of an eventual buyer, go directly to a company that will pay you a particular amount as per their fixation. They will pay on the basis of the condition of the vehicle, the manufacturing year and the model type. This is streamlining the process of selling old cars and it’s good for the environment too. Sell quicker and earn better. Being honest and transparent with customers is their priority – so you can be sure they are true to their word. Whatever they say they will pay, is what they pay.

All you need to do is simply call up the company, provide them with details of the vehicle you want removed and the location of the vehicle. They will provide you a quote. When you are happy with the terms of the quote they will organise a time and date to come and tow away your vehicle – free of charge.

Also, selling your vehicle to these companies doesn’t mean your vehicle will be dumped somewhere or thrown into landfill. They serve a much better cause. All the metal is stripped, collected and processed for recycling. Many parts such as batteries and electrical wires can even be reused and recycled for the next generation of automobiles. Where restoration is possible, it will be endeavoured. It is the best way to ensure as much of our waste is recycled, another great way to help the environment.

Apart from scrapping cars, trucks, vans and other vehicles, they also guide customers to mechanical car experts that can offer advice on whether your car can be repaired and if it’s worth repairing. If they feel the condition of the car can be repaired and is good enough for further use, then they may on sell the car rather than recycling it. You make money on your beaten up vehicle and don’t have to worry about the restoration process.

Now tell me that doesn’t sound like the quickest money you’re ever going to make?
