Hi, I know this has been discussed before but i still can't really understand how this works. For example, at the end of my COE. I decide to strip my car bare, can i still bring it to the scrap yard to scrap? (remove tyres, rims, exhaust, brakes, steering wheel, seats, etc etc) Can they reject my car? Anyone with recent experience mind sharing? I am sure most would like to know too. As i feel scrap yard offer the prices really dam little.. For example, Korean car they pay $0 - $400. Japanese car around $100 - 800. Got 3 people i know scrap their car for $50 (Hyundai getz), Honda civic old model ($350), kia cerato ($150). Dam ridiculous. The dam bloody brake pads and rotor already cost more than the scrap value offered. Heck, even the tyres also worth more. Even BMW/Mercs i heard only about 2k+ (heard, but can't verify) Another thing i would like to know, will the price be higher (more reasonable) if my car is exported instead of scrap? Anyone tried selling their vehicle to exporter? 10 years dam bo hua if just scrap get back less than $1k.

Saw the write up in my paper abt more owners now keep the car till 10 yrs then scrap. That I understand why. BUt it mentioned abt lots of people scrap the car one month before 10 years. Anyone can help explain why? What is the difference between scrapping on the dot at 10yrs vs one month before 10yrs is up?

Hi Everyone, Just sharing with ppl here for a chance to own an affordable car. I have a 8.5 year old Skoda Octavia that I am planning to send for Deregistration on 13 June. It's a good car that's got 1 year 7 months left of COE and only done 96,000 km on the ODO. Great starter car for any young adult or Student that needs to tavel the long distance daily to Poly or Uni. Take it at Market Scrap Value+ and you will have a workhorse at $4K depreciation per annum. You get back $11,600+ at the end of 1.7 years. Newer cars today are going at 6-8K depreciation. It's a waste for me to send her off to the Big Garage in the Sky. Hence this post. Interested parties can sms me for details at (9836)(6488) Cheers ! Skoda Octvia 1.6A Ambiente/Tour PRICE 18,000 ROAD TAX 740 TRANSMISSION AUTO ENGINE CAP 1595 REG DATE 14 Dec 2004 MILEAGE 96,081 COE $22,930 OMV $20,845 FEATURES Computerized Dash (Same as VW Passat) Safety Airbags Power Windows & Mirrors 15" OZ Sports Rims Black Leather Seats Knock Down Rear Seats Clean & Huge Boot Space 6 years of Servicing Records & Manuals NOTE Skoda Octavia uses the same chasis and engine as the VW Golf. 70% of the parts are from VW Golf & Bora.

was wondering if instead of scraping a perfectly working car, can i just park the car in malaysia never to be driven back to sg but free to use the car in malaysia? or export from sg into malaysia? what are the fees payable?

Hi, i was wondering when we scrap a 10year old car, the money we get back is mainly for deregistering the car rite? How much of it do we get for the car's shell? Is it possible to just deregister a 10year old car but dont send it to the scrap yard and keep it in my house? and how much do i stand to lose by doing this as opposed to the normal scrapping routine? TIA
