Different variants of it were designed and manufactured to suit each of the these Asian countries’ needs: China, Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. And in some parts of USA, Canada, Middle East, and Australia, it was marketed as the Yaris Sedan.

The first generation Vios was marketed from the year 2002 until 2007. It was certainly a hit in those Asian countries as its design was adapted from the Platz with some body panel modifications. Also, other portions of it were design concepts from the E120 Corolla. It also gained popularity because some countries have used the Vios for taxicab fleets.

Now the second generation Vios was seen from the year 2007 till 2013. By the year 2009, it was awarded as the best-selling car in Southeast Asia. To improve the previous version, they now designed it more for comfort than for handling. The interiors were really upgraded this time, with more convenience features.

Finally, the third generation Vios is the one launched last 2013 and is still seen in roads up to this date. This latest generation Vios is more mature more than ever. Toyota now aims to provide its owners and drivers the ultimate definition of value for money. Hence, focusing on its new slogan: Value beyond belief. Toyota has improved its exteriors by giving it a luxury sport design. The body is definitely larger and more importantly, the interior is more spacious than the two previous generations. Some countries even have a sporty Vios model that come with full body kits.

Though unfortunately Toyota has never officially marketed the Vios in Australia until now, there are some who might have managed to get one from overseas and brought it here. So if you are simply one of those lucky Vios owners, and you’re having a hard time searching for spare parts, you can stop stressing yourself now. Advance Car Wreckers has got your back.

The good news is, we are currently wrecking a Toyota Vios in a technically good condition.

We just might have the bonnet, fender, headlight, engine mount, bumper, spoiler, or grille that you are looking for.

As it is indeed an amazing way to make money off of something that’s just been idly sitting and rusting in your garage, there is no doubt that people are more and more open to take advantage of the services of wrecking a car. But because you know that no two companies in the car wreckers Victoria industry are exactly the same, you’d have to take some serious considerations to be able to work with the best car wreckers in Melbourne. Simply going with the first professional car wrecker you’ll come across won’t probably be the best way to get the most profit. Thus, for you to be able to maximise all the benefits you can and will get, consider the following factors when selling your vehicle to car wreckers:

• THE CAR’S OWNERSHIP

Because of the continuously growing auto wrecking industry in Victoria alone, many car theft cases have also happened through the years. Because of that, several rules and laws were applied to avoid such crimes. When getting rid of  an unwanted vehicle, make sure that it is really yours to sell in the first place. A legitimate car wreckers Melbourne company won’t just risk their name by buying a vehicle that has been stolen. So to make sure that there won’t be a problem during the sale, recover any proof of your ownership (just in case you have misplaced the registration or title).

• THE CAR’S AGE

Yes, auto wreckers accept all cars regardless of its year model. But, if you are really looking forward to earning a bigger amount of (additional) income, you need to consider the vehicle’s age. For example you own two cars and you just to dispose both of them: the first car is a Toyota Corolla ‘90 and the other is a Toyota Corolla Altis ‘05. The ‘90s Corolla, having about 250mi on it, is in running condition but of course not as good the the other. The ‘05 Altis which had run for about a hundred miles has new tires, is in good running condition, and has minimal damage. When you inquired at the nearest car wreckers, you are surprised upon hearing that they’ll pay you $225 for the ‘07 car and $175 for the ‘90. Even if your two cars are way different from each other, the price offers for both of them are only 50 dollars apart. The reason for this is that, auto wrecking companies treat each car the same – regardless of their age and condition. The goal and process won’t be changed as well. The only difference is that, they could probably get more re-saleable used car parts from Altis ‘05 than the other one – which they could only put a minimal markup on. (They sell really cheap and quality used auto parts.) Maybe the reason for that 50-dollar difference.

What we’re saying here is, many people sometimes get too excited about selling their vehicle to car wreckers that they neglect to truly assess the potential value of their car. If you have a car that is in an operable and really good condition even with its age, selling it to a car wrecker won’t be able to provide you with the income (yet).

• THE CAR’S VALUE

Most auto wreckers (the well-established and reputable ones) can give you a price offer in an instant; either through phone or online. Because of that, you have to prepare a detailed description of your vehicle before actually contacting them. Make sure you don’t exaggerate or underrate any of your vehicle’s issues. They’ll be asking you a series of questions in order to fully assess your car; so be sure to be clear and honest with them. If you’d commit any mistake or omit any damage, you’ll sadly get the not-so-good price for your vehicle.

• THE CAR’S PICKUP/DELIVERY ARRANGEMENT

Wrecking a car shouldn’t only the be priority of the company you’ll choose. They must also focus on customer service. There are other companies that will charge you for making them travel to your place, so be wary about that. Beware of those who gives you a big price offer but then they’d add lots of hidden charges upon meeting you and seeing your vehicle; so you’ll end up with less income than expected. If your old ride is still somehow in a running condition, your best bet is to take it to them yourself. There are also other car wrecking companies that add special offers/bonuses if they don’t need to travel to get your car.

The post Considerations When Selling Your Vehicle to Auto Wreckers appeared first on Advance Car Wreckers.

Don’t get us wrong. Whatever they may be, we truly respect their sentiments and reasons for keeping these vehicles and delaying their decision to seek car wrecking and removal services. Howbeit, we still stand by our advocacy and try to tell as much people as we can, that keeping old and junk cars isn’t gonna do good for all of us.

So as leading junk car removalists and car wreckers in Melbourne, Advance Car Wreckers, is here to help you realise how much of an urgent matter this actually is. The thought of letting go of your beloved ride and wrecking a car shouldn’t be as heartbreaking as you thought it would. As you read on, we truly hope that you’ll finally get to see that the best time to get old & junk car removal services is NOW more than ever. Why? Here are our top reasons:

Help save our environment.

Little do most people know, that there are lots of negative effects caused by our old and damaged cars – working and not working. At the least, they think that these cars will just cause pollution if you continue to use them. But that’s where they’re wrong. There are toxic materials from old and junk cars that will greatly harm our environment. They could contaminate our waters, soil, and the air we breathe in. Moreover, the whole process of auto wrecking and recycling is the perfect way to prevent the use of more natural resources to make new car parts. So please, do Mother Nature a favor and decide to dispose of that car properly.

Do your community a favor.

How many of your neighbors have asked you when are you going to dispose that old car of yours? Probably many times now, right? Not only is it an eyesore and waste of a good amount of space; but it is also giving a bad rep for your community. People who are looking at your area and are considering of moving there might be disappointed; especially if they know about the things we have discussed in our previous point.

Stop spending more money.

Be honest. Even if you know that your car is unroadworthy and irredeemable, there are lots of times when you’ll spend money on it – thinking that it will miraculously bring it back to its old glory. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you’re really just wasting your hard earned money. In the same way, even if let’s say it still works and runs, how much have you been spending on petrol and repair costs? We’re guessing a lot. And you’re probably avoiding computing all those expenses to keep your car running because you know that it’s A LOT. So do yourself and your family a favor. Instead of spending it in vain, use it for other more important things.

Look forward to a new car.

Don’t you just love all the new car models and variants that have come out this year? Didn’t it occur to you that maybe you deserve to drive a brand new one? Yes, you might probably have an emotional attachment to that vehicle because of all the memories you have made with it. But are you simply contented on nostalgia? Don’t you want to make new and more memories with a different ride? You know we’re making absolute sense, right? Letting go of your old and junk car won’t erase those memories. It just means you’re now ready to make new ones.

Make the most extra cash out of your car.

Remember this: the sooner, the better. The more time you take on dilly dallying and hesitating to get car removal services, the less additional income you’ll get from selling your car. It’s that simple. The more it ages, the more it rusts, the more it gets harder to remove, the less money you’ll get.

Parting with a car that you have loved, taken care of, and adored so much for so many years can be difficult. But if you do understand the reasons why you should entrust it to professional car wreckers and recyclers, then it should take some of that heavy weight on your shoulders. If you look forward to the benefits it’ll give you, then it wouldn’t be much of a chore. Instead, you’ll see it as an opportunity.

So if your car has recently been submerged in flood water, there should be at least one question on your mind right now: Can I sell my car for cash even if it’s flood-damaged? As one of the leading Melbourne salvage yards and cash for cars Melbourne companies, we say that the answer to your question is a resounding yes!

Well, we won’t try to mislead you by saying there’s a lot of people who would still want to buy your flooded vehicle. What we do want you to understand is, if you’re honest enough about your car, if you’d be able to do things right, and choose the right decisions, getting a reasonable amount of cash for your flooded car is definitely doable.

Having said that, Advance Car Wreckers – your trusted car removalists and scrap cars for cash Melbourne company, is here to make your burden a little lighter. Selling that vehicle doesn’t have to be a pain. And because our team of car removalists and car wreckers Melbourne has been in the industry for two long decades, we ought to provide you with an easy-to-follow guide so you could be able to sell your flooded car for cash at the soonest possible time.

F – Find out how ‘damaged’ your car really is.

The very first thing you have to do is know exactly what kind of flood-damaged car are you dealing with. How will you be completely honest about your vehicle if you’re not fully aware of all the damages it got from being submerged in flood water? To do this, every nook and cranny of your car interiors, engine bay, and even undercarriage must be scrupulously inspected. If you admit that you really wouldn’t know anything if you take a good look at your car, then take it to your trusted car repair shop or vehicle inspection company. If you do let a pro take a good look at your car, make sure to ask for a written report so you wouldn’t miss a thing (even if you try to jot down notes during the inspection). By knowing the overall damage of your vehicle, you will now have an idea of how much money you need just in case you want to get some parts fixed or replaced before really selling it.

L – Lower your expectations.

The truth of the matter is, this part is where most sellers (owners of flood-damaged cars) have a hard time with. You’ll realise later on how doing this could actually be a challenge, especially if you really have an emotional attachment with your car. After having a good idea of your car’s real current condition, you should already know where you really stand. Manage your expectations. Let’s say you own a well-maintained Mercedes Benz; but that won’t really matter now because your vehicle has been damaged by flood. If you will be able to set a price that’s just right for the type of car you’re selling, then getting cash for it could really happen sooner.

O – Obtain the necessary documentation.

Apart from the detailed list of damages, there are other documents that you might need to hand over to your buyer, whether or not you decide to have it fixed first before selling. Recover all the important documents like the title, registration, insurance papers, and even your driver’s license. If you have a complete file of these documents, selling over your flood-damaged car won’t be much of a hassle.

O – Organise your thoughts and come to a decision.

After you’ve basically prepared everything you need to sell your flooded car, all you have to do now is come to decision. Will you have the car repaired first before selling it? Or will you keep it as is so you won’t have to shell out more money for it? Just know that even if you’ll fix the current damages of that vehicle, because it already has a history of flood damage, it will still sell at a price about 20-30% less than its current market value (as a used car but not flooded). So once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick to it and make sure you won’t change your mind in the middle of the whole process – as it will cost you even more money than you expected.

D – Do consider other options.

In relation to managing your expectations, you also have to let yourself be open to other options just in case your first plan (typically selling it to a private buyer) doesn’t work out. And if you have decided not to fix any of the damages anymore, there are other options like donating it or selling it to car removal Melbourne companies that buy all kinds of scrap cars for cash. Just keep in mind that the crucial part here is choosing which company to choose. As there are numerous salvage yards around, you wouldn’t want to end up working with one that’s just out to take advantage of you.
