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
- Acquire a vehicle suited for teardown.
- Strip it for sellable parts rather than exporting it whole.
- Sell the parts individually or in a batch, whichever the local market favours.
- 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.
