Scrap wrecks on web
May 27th, 2009 by Richard Aucock
GLASS’S has rolled out a tool to help car dealers make most money from scrap scheme incentive bangers.
It uses a link between Glass’s eSalvage online auction tool, and Elite Incident Management’s network of salvage traders.
This means franchised dealers using eSalvage will get immediate access to an established network of salvage agents willing to bid for salvage lots
‘Dealers have more opportunities to achieve the best prices from genuine buyers for their vehicle lots,’ said Glass’s manager Richard Gandy.
‘The alternative is for them to use a local scrap dealer, or the salvage agencies suggested by the manufacturers, inevitably limiting the potential to secure a higher sale price.’
Philip DaSilva, Elite CEO, adds: ‘Not only will this new solution help dealers maximise income from the increasing volumes of older part-exchanges, it also means greater volumes of usable parts will now be salvaged.’
Glass’s promise the system, which costs £20 a car, guarantees scrap car trade-ins will be removed fast. Vehicles will hang around the dealership for no more than a few days after sale.
Certificates of Destruction will also be issued at the time of collection. This means car dealers can apply for their scrappage cash fast.
Ideal for the new car scrap scheme, says Gandy. It’s a ‘one-stop-shop which handles all vehicles – irrespective of type or condition.’
