The almighty know all ma!! Are you telling me that the 2010 LE has no rear vents and extra buttons?

banky3w:
I don't think that is a 2010 Camry! The features are really lacking. The wood simulation on doors and others. No rear AC vents....... Extra buttons on the steering wheel amongst other features. My best guess is that this ride was pimped to 2010. Was interested but after closer look at the pics, found out it wasn't what I was looking for. I'm not commenting to spoil your market bro but I think the post is misleading...... No offence.

banky3w:
I need the Matrix I'm seeing beside the camry if it is toks pls.

[color=Blue]No sis, we're not on the same page here.

If a scrap car has to be picked up from the owner, then it's up to the operator whether he chooses to give him or her anything for it at all. If the owner wishes to make something out of it, then by all means, he or she is free to strip it for parts, and sell them him or herself (which a lot of scrap car owners in Nigeria have done).

The result is a carcass that has been rapèd of anything of any real value. Or a fairly complete car that is so far gone, it's almost not worth the hassle to pick up for destruction. I have seen abandoned cars in Nigeria that have been so long in the same spot (as long as 20 years) that these wrecks have put down roots. Some dumped for a mere 3 years are so dusty, they look like the surrounding mounds of earth. The perfect camouflage.

As I stated previously, the profit margins on an average family sedan for scrap is pretty small when all other costs and the time taken to separate the different fluids and materials is taken into consideration. I'm in the automotive trade myself, and though I don't deal in scrap metal, I know what costs are involved in obtaining a salvage license, running costs as well as the costs associated with the disposal of non-recyclable materials.

[color=Blue]A car has scrap value, that's a fact.

But...it has to be dismantled completely.

Metal components separated.
Engine oil drained.
Coolant drained.
Hydraulic fluid drained.
Refrigerants recovered (controlled recovery).
Fuel drained.
Rubber components separated.
Plastic components separated.
Textiles separated.
Glass removed.
Batteries removed.
Miscellaneous / sundries

All this takes time, and costs money. People have to be paid to dismantle the carcass. In the UK, you I'll get paid for a scrap car IF you deliver it to a treatment facility or scrapyard. You'll get nothing IF you've got a scrap car on your lawn, with no wheels, meaning it'll be a pain in the arsè to pick up from your home. Or it has wheels, but you have no means of delivering it. If the collector is feeling generous, he MIGHT give you £35, depending on what the car weighs, and what scrap metal is worth at that time.

Typical price paid for a complete medium-size family sedan is currently £130 IF you deliver it. Collection is expensive too, as fuel and time for the return trip are taken into consideration. Distance also influences what you MAY get paid if you can't run the wreck in yourself. The scrapper also has to pay for non-recyclable items to be disposed of, and their annual licence. So understand it's not a massive profit at the end, for a whole lot of labour and financial outlay[/color]

GAZZUZZ:
