Scrapping a Car (1 Viewer)

[stupot07]

Has anyone recently scrapped a car? I've got to get rid of the wife's. Had a look in the paper and there was 3-4 adverts - looks like you get a tad more from breakers yards. Just wondered if anyone's had any recent experience.

What is it and why does it need scrapping?

Had a Ford Focus scrapped 2 years, Y-reg, non-runner, got £250 for it from a company who came and collected it. Be buggered if I can recall their name, I'll see if I can find them.

Definitely can't remember the name of the company, but try this:

Scrap value has fallen through the floor lately, i treid to scrap my Audi A4 and was offered £40 for it, so i put it on ebay and got £200 as spare or repair, try ebay or Gumtree before scrapping it, what car is it and how much you looking to get for it?

I had a scrap with a car once. The car won.

Thanks for the advice. It's an old punto, power steering unit has gone and its going to cost as much as the cars worth to get it fixed. Heard that the scrap value has dropped.

Stu If it's in good condition I may be interested in taking it off your hands for scrap price.

Yh scrap value has gone down a lot. However I wouldn't list it on ebay as they are robbing b*$%£^$£ when it comes to fees. Use gumtree.

Fair shout about ebay, however, if you get £50 more for the car by spending £10 its worth it, have got to agree though, Gumtree is probs a better choice!

The £10 listing is fine, but then you have to pay around £30 after its sold as well, so if you are only selling the car for a few hundred its a rip off.

Power steering? In a Fiat Punto? Well I'll be blowed!

The power steering on it was really really light. It's electric not a hydraulic system. It even has a button called "city park" and you can turn the wheel with your little finger.

The inside is ok, but the outside has started to get a bit of rust, and some of the panels have faded in the sun so one or two are different shades of red. Used to pass it's MOT every year despite its age, but I think it could now be on that slippery slope.

Tend to find a bowl of lukewarm water helps but if nothing else handy, an old CD case
