Vlsc 1st Gear June 26, 2020 Share June 26, 2020 (edited) Hi All, Newbie 1st post here. Have a family car due to scrap next month. Its a COE renewed car..using till the end of COE period. Understand from the posts in this forum there will be some paper value / amount from the metal which we can receive back? May i ask is there any diff or whats the diff whether we go to one of the LTA approved scrapyard vs doing a valuation using Motorist or Quotz website etc which they claim they will find the best price for our car? Anyone can advice? Thank u in advance. Edited June 26, 2020 by Vlsc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go scrapyard, very straight forward one They pass you $50/100 and ask you bye bye le. hahaha. Do you buy a replacement car from dealer? If yes, then you just throw your car to them and ask them to help you settle lor. hahah. Save your time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whether go LTA approved scrapyard or do valuation, the amount wont be any big difference since ours is already COE renewed car? Or if got dealer wana export then the amt we get might be more than those LTA approved scrapyard? Its a Vios. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a list of scrapyard you can visit to scrap your car. https://www.sgcarmart.com/directory/listing.php?BRSR=0&CAT=20&RPG=15 If you want to get as much money back, you can start to tear down your car as much as possible. Then you can see all the items. - Car seats -mirrors -headunit -engine mount -tailight -headlight 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin03 4th Gear June 26, 2020 Share June 26, 2020 Dismantle whatever you think you can sell later. eg : Car audio / spoiler / sports rims (trade with buyer) / seats (If have buyer) / strut bar etc... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlsc 1st Gear June 26, 2020 Share June 26, 2020 Wah to tear down will be quite a hassle. Still must find ways to sell it. I dont think we will go thru the hassle of it. But thanks for the info haha. To go to scrapyard, what we getting back will only be paper value and body value, am i right? Do they all offer same price? Or different scrapyard will return different amount? Anyone who scrapped their car before able to advice which scrapyard has the best price? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aukang 6th Gear June 26, 2020 Share June 26, 2020 If it's 10 year COE, and car in relatively good condition, an alternative is to post for sale in Carousel. Buyer may purchase and extend coe. But need to factor in some repairs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QQDreamer 4th Gear June 26, 2020 Share June 26, 2020 (edited) since we are on this topic of car scapping. Do the scrap yard need all the parts to be intact with the car as one of the criteria to scrap? cos i thinking to dismantle all the things that can be soldeg: setas, audio, headlights, interior door panel, dash board, etc and just leave the body chasis and engine and tow it to scrap yard to scrap. Is this possible to be done? Anyone tried this before? Edited June 26, 2020 by StreamRSZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t see why. I’ll complaint to LTA if they reject. As long as the 2 point are fulfilled, LTA scrapyard operators have no right to reject. And lta has to refund parf.

Jwee85 5th Gear July 27, 2020 Share July 27, 2020 I called up a few LTA approved scrap yard, for my Honda FIT. The only offer $100 body value. I asked can strip the car internal parts or not, and they said all parts on the car must be there. Is it wise to scrap or sell it to second hand car dealers? Or what is the options to get more than $100 back from the scrapped car?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what is the options to get more than $100 back from the scrapped car?? Try selling it to private market for renewal of COE. Definitely can earn more than 100 for body. Maybe even more than 2000 is possible. The body of Fit has not much value, unlike other sedans like Altis or Avante. Try other scrapyards. I heard that LTA ones offer only about 100 for all types of cars. Of course they say you cannot strip, otherwise how they earn? 😂 Edited July 27, 2020 by Brass ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
