If you live in Lower Hutt, Wellington or anywhere in the Lower North Island of NZ, you will find that having a scrap car disposed of properly and professionally is simple. However, if you want to get the most cash possible, getting the right amount is not so easy. Scrapping a Car in Wellington? The amount your vehicle is worth is figured out by taking into account the make and model, as well as how old it is and what condition it is in.
“An average you can get from $100 to $5’999 cash for your car. Again, price of the vehicle will vary with 3 main factors: 1) Age and KM done by the vehicle, 2) Make & Model, 3) Condition of your vehicle.”
But every car will need this at some point. You may find yourself one day with a car that needs to be disposed of. If this happens, you will want the best cash amount. It doesn’t matter how amazing your car was when you first bought it. They all die one day. It could be due to a road accident, or it could be a victim of extreme old age. If it costs more to fix it than the car is worth, it is time to have the vehicle scrapped.
Have you ever thought what can I do with my junk car? In the past, it was normal for people to get rid of dead cars by simply taking them to a landfill and dumping it there. But this was an environmentally damaging method for disposing of cars. Not only do the cars still have fluids in them that will leak out and pollute the environment, there are other reasons too. The metals and other such materials that can be re-used are instead being wasted. They could be used instead of using freshly mined metals.
Mining is very hard on the environment. Every last re-used of metals helps a little bit to reduce the demand for metals to be mined. This is why it is great that you can now dispose of cars and know that they are being recycled, while making money at the same time! How? Let’s find out!
There is a common misconception about scrap cars. It has to do with how much money they are worth. To be specific, people tend to think that a car that has no more life left in it is completely worthless. But it just isn’t true. There will be parts on it that can be re-used. And if there are no parts that can be re-used due to the level of damage, the materials can still be recycled.
And your local auto wrecking company has the skills and expertise in order to do just that. They can dismantle the car and add the parts to their stock of used parts. They can take the parts that are too damaged and sell them to the appropriate scrap parts recycling companies. Actually, getting a free scrap car valuation in Wellington, is easier than you might have thought.
A place that will only salvage the car’s materials will only look at how much the vehicle weighs. However, this won’t get you the same amount of cash as you would get if you sold to an auto wrecking company. A place like Wellington’s Kiwi Auto Wreckers will look at how many parts they can salvage, and what condition those parts are in, how old they are, and what their make and model is.
This is why it is clearly the best way to sell your car if it is in scrap condition. However, not all auto wreckers pay the same amount of cash for cars. Some of them pay less than others.
Of course, if you were to successfully complete the job of dismantling your car yourself, you could, in theory, make more money. But you have to ask yourself whether or not you can even do it. It is a fact that knowing how to properly dismantle a vehicle is a rare skill. A skill that the vehicle salvaging experts at Kiwi Auto Wreckers all have.
Scrapping a Car in Wellington? To do so, you also need to have the correct tools in order to so the job. Do you have a large hoist to lift the engine out? You can’t do the job without the full range of tools. You can’t do it without a good amount of space either. This is why auto wreckers are a thing. They perform the service of dismantling a car and selling off the parts.
