Scrap metal yard should get you for more money, as this is where a dismantler will take all metal to.

What condition were the cars in? The one Im looking at getting rid of has a dead motor and the body isnt in the best shape(not munted or anything).

What sort of car ?
A brand new car in mint condition is still worth only $30 a tonne to a scrappy, where it will be worth far far more to a dismantler.
If there are parts that are worth having then the wreckers is the way to go, otherwise the scrapyard.

I'll probably take it to the wreckers. Its not in the best condition since its been sitting outside for about a year gathering mould. Its also missing a door.

I went down that path last year and the wrecker gave me much more for my ute and they came and got it. Driver said they strip them down and ship the parts off to the middle east.

Whatever - You came here for advice, people ask questions in an effort to help you and provide the best advice they can, but you ignore them.

Whatever the best advise was to go to a wrecker so, in fact, he followed it rather than ignored it.
