Vehicle Dismantling Project From California. Pictorial Report. by KunleA2(m): 7:43am On Sep 11, 2010
[size=14pt]This is a Vehicle dismantling project that was handled by some of my colleagues here.
This particular container left earlier this week. It consists of about 25 cars dismantled.

Also loaded are: 2003 Camry. 2001 Tundra and 2000 Corolla

Vehicle dismantling is a particularly difficult and time consuming project. The most time consuming is sourcing and locating the vehicles to be dismantled.

Entire process takes about 3 months. Roughly about 2 months for the sourcing, dismantling and loading. The rest of the time for the container to get to Naija.
[/size]


These are the typical cost associated with a container:

Dismantling: $275/car
Loading:       $1,500/container
Shipping:      $4,500
Storage:       $600/month
Service Fee:  $3,000



[size=14pt]The total cost of the container really depends on the contents. It will cost less to load Honda Allah as opposed to loading EOD or Bullet. But overall, it will cost roughly $35,000-$40,000 for a complete container with "regular" cars like 1990-1992 Honda Allah or Camry for a total of about 25 vehicles in the container.

[/size]

[size=16pt]Other non-dismantled vehicles cost extra!!!![/size]

This is real business for the big boys. Don't u think anybody that want to invest in this kind of business have to be on ground (USA). Kindly put me through cos i've always wanted to do something of this nature. What is the profit margin like on the business, i'm really interested


Thank you
Re: Vehicle Dismantling Project From California. Pictorial Report. by Jafour: 7:44pm On Sep 16, 2010
I am interested. How many cars (1990-1992 Honda/camry) can be dismantled to fill a 40ft container?. What is the estimated total budget? Do you have a point man in the Nigerian market (e.g. Ladipo Market)?

[b]Its a good business. You are not necessarily required to be on ground. You only need someone knowledgeable, reliable and committed to handle the project. Something like this will take between 2-3months for the project to be finished.

Even if you are on ground you will need a dealer or dismantler's license to be able to buy some of these cars. Not to forget that you will not acquire all 25 cars at the same time. There is a lot of driving up and down all the auctions. Coordinate the towing, labor, loading etc.

So if you don't or haven't lived here and don't have anyone knowledgeable that can take out their time to put you through when you get here. Its difficult, if not impossible.

As a matter of fact, if you are here, you will be responsible for 2 people (yourself and your guide) as opposed to one person if you let someone else handle it for you. Also, the person guiding you must be able to attend all these auctions while you are here.

One good thing about dismantling is that you can sell the whole container within a week that it lands. Quick turnaround for your investment.[/b]

25 cars can be dismantled and loaded. There will still be enough room for about 1 or 2 vehicle. As far as space goes, the container can hold up to 30 dismantled cars, but since there is a weight restriction, thats why you want to sandwich with 2 vehicles.

Mind you, the shell of the car will not go. that stays. Everything else will go.

@ KULE-A, well said however can u help in this regard as a point man to coordinate the activities of dismantling and eventually shipping the container after the deal has been finalised
Re: Vehicle Dismantling Project From California. Pictorial Report. by tedanne: 10:09am On Sep 17, 2010

Its very possible to get a 2002/03 Passat with spare engine or spare. As for the Acura, [2000 TL] it will land for about N1.6m delivered to your compound. Please be aware that since year 2010 is coming to an end, it will not be possible to send 2000 Acura to Lagos if not sent latest by Oct/early Nov. There is a 10year rule on vehicles that can be shipped to Lagos.

Shipping company's will refuse to take it. I will probably not be doing any more dismantling this year anymore but we can help in shipping any vehicle that you want by itself. The spare engine and gear will wait until when next a container is coming.

Regards.

Thanks for the info. Is it possible to load a 20ft container with car parts only? Is there any weight restriction on a 20ft container? I am just thinking along loading only the car parts.
