scrapping cars
mookaloid - 15/11/10 at 02:04 PM

Are scrappies paying for cars at the moment?

My nephew will be scrapping his peugeot 306 next week - yes he bought the one on Saturday - link to other thread if interested

Is he likely to get anything for the old one?

Cheers

should be worth a bit.

scrap value is still very high.

not sure how much though.

Usually depends if you take it to their place or not, and whether it's complete or not. If you take it there you will usually get something for it, so much a tonne, the rate varies.

My mate got £150 for his knackered Primera a few weeks ago...

We can drive it there so that's encouraging

Here if you drive it there they give you £25. SFA if they collect it.

my local place is about £80 a tonne. But they usually knock off money if rubber (ie tyres) is no the car as they have to pay to dispose of that.

Places around here are giving £100 per car. They'll collect if it's local.
Is it not worth a punt in the bay?

pug derv engines are worth money on ebay to the taxi trade ect I would sell it spares or repairs and let some one elts take it away.

Scrap metal merchants give more than scap yards.

Phoned this morning and my colleague was told £130 (cash in hand ) for a Daewoo Matiz picked up from its resting place (cambelt job).

Think our place is giving £100 if driven in
(its a bit less if we have to collect)
