Teardown Parts Grind

Strip vehicles for parts and sell the scrap — a pure grind with the lowest setup cost and no meaningful risk, at the cost of the lowest rate in the money section.

How it works

  1. Acquire a vehicle suited for teardown.
  2. Strip it for sellable parts rather than exporting it whole.
  3. Sell the parts individually or in a batch, whichever the local market favours.
  4. Repeat with the next vehicle.

What you need

  • $200 in starting capital
  • About an hour to get the first grind cycle running
  • Patience — this is volume work, not a single high-value run

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Lowest setup cost tied with Courier Contract Chain
  • No meaningful risk — this is a pure grind, not a raid

Cons

  • Lowest modelled dollars per hour tracked in the money section
  • Entirely dependent on repetitive volume rather than a single strong payout

Why this estimate

Modelled on scrap-and-teardown grind analogues in comparable economies, where per-unit part value sets a low but highly repeatable hourly floor.

Best for

A player who wants a zero-risk way to keep earning between higher-stakes methods, not a primary income source.
