I got a Toyota Camry Conquest 2002 (210,00km) car that still run perfectly fine, but due to an accident from behind .. The booth can't be closed and the right bumper is dented inwards . Using duct tape and a rope I actually have secure the booth and drove it for a year. I had police stopping me for booze checked, but they ignore the damage.

I am in process of buying another car but as a ozbarginer , I found that getting $200 as scrap metal just don't sit well with me

Any advice or direction is much appreciated , cheers

    It's 15yo, damaged. Scrap it

    Even in decent condition it's only worth a couple of grand.

    Try and sell it. You might be lucky and get $500 for it for someone looking for a paddock basher or a parts car. A 15 yo damaged (unlikely to get a roadworthy) car is just not worth repairing…

    $500 > $200 and if you dont manage to sell it you always have that to fall back on

    Put it on Ebay. And see what you get. Bit of fun.

    Douse it in petrol, set on fire and roll it down a cliff. The fun will outweigh the $150 wreckers will give you.
    They offered $100 for a good running vn v6 commodore !

    If that's a bit extreme for you then take the engine out and do some mad lawnmower conversions/power generator (would probably need to attach a second alternator on it for it to be effective)

    Remove the boot door and aim at converting it into a Ute. A Camry Ute will be a unique vehicle.
