Priestley Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Does anyone know the current prices for scrap cars? I have about 10 cars I want to get rid of. Anyone had any recent experience with this? Searched google and found nothing but sites offering "Free car removal". I'll be loading them on to a truck and taking them to a scrap yard myself, but if the current scrap price is bugger all then they can sit there and rust away....

mad082 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 would be best to ring a few scrap metal places in your area and ask them what they will give you for it. you may find the prices differ a little bit between places.

Birds Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I got $10.29 for a Holden Calibra shell about 4 years ago...mind you it was as bare metal as a shell gets...100% stripped and the guy felt sorry for me so he added a couple hundred kilos to the weight lol.

I'll give that a go closer to the week I have free to do it. A couple of years back I got $150 for a car, but the scrap prices have dropped off from what I understand.

Peter89 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 could the cars go to a wrecker? or only scrap? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/296711-scrap-metal-prices/#findComment-4944126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANGN Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 scrap prices are worth f**k all at the moment.. Especially ally We have 2 large bins with ally in them inside the workshop.. 12 months ago we used to get 1K for the 1 Ton of ally now they are offering around $100 a tonne. We have now just held onto it until the prices go back up Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/296711-scrap-metal-prices/#findComment-4944138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priestley Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 They could go to a wrecker. Some of them are still drivable. Need to find a car wrecking yard in Seymour or nearby. Does anyone here know of one?? Thats a hell of a drop off Bangn. If the prices have dropped that much I'll just leave them there for a few years and hope the prices go back up.

Adz2332 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 hey mate, Im in adel so i dunno how much different prices are. We at the moment are payin around $140 a tonne for cars and yes as you said it has slowly dropped prices. We were paying up around $200+ a tonne. We deal in all metal not just steel etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/296711-scrap-metal-prices/#findComment-4944937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priestley Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks Adz. At least I'll get something for them, should pay for the diesel to cart them and maybe, if I'm lucky, some beer money Just tried calling a few wreckers in Seymour, disconnected, disconnected and the last rang out. Perhaps the slowing economy killed these places off? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/296711-scrap-metal-prices/#findComment-4944953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:: GimpS-R34 ::. Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 nah i mean they stopped buying metal from aust. & others etc.. due to the fact that they were producing a shit load of product (buying recycled steel) and then when recession came they stopped producing and therefore didnt need to buy metal.. at least not in the quantities that was being supplied Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/296711-scrap-metal-prices/#findComment-4946359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
