subject: Scrap Car And Make It Profitable [print this page] What you can do is dismantle the car yourself to remove everything that is not metal and also keep the spare parts that you could sell for a profit. You could bring your friends over to your house on a Sunday and ask them to help you dismantle your car. It is not an easy job and you could do with help. In fact, several people have been known to host car dismantling parties, where friends come in with spanners. You could make anywhere in between $50 to $100 from handing over the metal body to the yard for scrap car and some more from selling the valuable parts. Scrap yards usually have free tow away service and you can arrange for one simply by giving them a call.
