Default Cash for Cars

Hi guys,

Have an old KE 1990 Laser hatchback still in ok condition, want to shift it but not worth spending $400 on RWC(Tyres, rocker gasket, gas arms on hatchback etc) to sell it. Can anyone recommend me car removers that pays up to a couple of hundred bucks to pick up vehicle? North West just out of Melbourne. Thanks

so you want someone to take it away and pay you for the car?

try smorgon steel, they came and picked up about 7tonnes worth of scrap metal (car bodies, industrial lathe, small crane and piles of I beams) from our property during that scrap metal blitz and got a nice 4 figure sum for it all

otherwise i think youll end up paying someone to remove it or get very little

A month ago, someone would have paid you $100 for it.
Scrap has hit a low price, so it's only worth $100 now. No one will pay much for it at the moment.

Sell it without a roadworthy?
