Getting the most $ for a cage at wreckers?

So there's ppl that will pay $400 and tow away your dead minivan. Is there a wrecker that will pay more for one you can drive there?

If you can drive it there, it's kijiji material. i.e. maybe fetch $1000 - $1500.
You might be a little late for the "winter beater" crowd, but ya never know.
 
There are people that will actually pay $400 to yank a heap from your driveway?!
 
A dealership will even give $400 for scrap. Others will tow and sell for more, so I can just drive it there and cut out the middle man and make more.... so which wreckers pay more?

I tried to trade in a scrap, but driveable, Saab to a Subaru dealer. They didn't want to offer me anything for it.

I sold it on Kijiji for $400. Guess I could've gotten the same from a wrecker. At least it went back on the road for someone that got a good deal.
 
Our lot guy here took an old (95?) Nissan Altima to the Ajax Wreckers the other day and got $400.
 
I exchanged my 02 civic for a set of dunlop slicks and a set of rain tires :)

Chrysler dealership wanted to give me 300 bucks, yea right

I hate dealing with Kijiji people
 
Ajax Wreckers might be promissing. Anyone know anything about the Retire Your Ride program? Does it pay better?

I thought they wrapped that up years ago, I had no idea it was still running.

To get top dollar for your car from the wreckers they usually want it conditioned. Fluids drained, no tires, no A/C fluid etc. The tow trucks drag it in of a dolly or two wheels that they take off.
 
Cut the catalytic converter if you can and sell it separately. You'll get a few extra bucks for it.
