It's criminal! I would have put up the cash in the blink of an eye for that price!

[TooT]

Its sh*t i know but a car is only worth what someone will pay for it

[eoin27]

You were hardly stuck for cash if you settled for £600.

You should have kept onto it and sold it in parts. You can make about £4,000 on ebay selling good parts. Especially if you have all the bells and whistles that your car had. I wish I was in england so I would have bought it off you and then beat you for disrespecting 406's by selling them so cheap

Dunno about Toot, but in a lot of the UK you have no option but to park your car in the street where the average house width is smaller than the length of most cars - houses with garages or carports are rare and usually bloody expensive. In my street there's room to park around 20-25 cars, yet there's 60 houses. Also to park a car in the street it needs to have tax and be in a roadworthy condition - it's highly likely a wreck would be removed and crushed within a week or 2. Or set fire to by the local yobs.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to break a car. Given how utterly skint I am, I would have killed to be able to break my turbo exec, but I had to take a pathetic £50 for it from the breakers. Why? Because 1) I don't have anywhere to store a wreck, 2) I don't have the time to faff about packaging stuff up and 3) I don't have the ability to get to a post office during opening hours. I didn't even have any way of storing the 5 alloys from it which would have easiliy net me £100+ on ebay...

Yep im in the same boat. My house is an end terrece so ive got next to f*ck all room to park. Some of my neighbours have two cars some have work vans taking up the spaces. Sometimes i have to park on a different street. So that means no room for breaking. Oh and aswell as having road tax and insurance to pay on a car sat in the street i have to have a parking permit too in my area

@eion27 Why the hell would i want to break up the car anyway? Yes i MIGHT get more for it in bits but the car was perfectly fine, It was not an MOT failure, or is this a new money making business i dont know about? shall i go out and buy a something like a BMW M3 and break it and flog the bits on ebay to 318 owners?

[steve_earwig]

Sounds like a good plan to me

[Welly]

In a way I can see the breaking thing working I have got room to do it aswell

Take my HDi exec for example, a 1999 should sell for £1200.00 ???

Now in 'bits' :

Engine and gearbox = £400.00?
Wheels/tryes = £100.00
Levvers/door cards = £175.00
Lights = £100.00
Doors = £200.00
Bumpers = £100.00
Levver Steering Wheel = £45.00
Carpet? = £50.00
JBL Amp/speakers = £100.00
Self dimming mirror/sunblind etc = £75.00

That's £1,345.00 allready I reckon and there must be other stuff I could sell?

I once had a Series 2a Landrover fitted with a V8 that I bought for £500. Unfortunately we managed to blow the engine so a friend and I decided that we'd be better off stripping it. The sum total came to more than £1400, including sending the overdrive unit to America (£392+p&p) and still managing to sell the remains of the car for £400 with £1000 worth of stuff stripped out of it

[mjb]

Doors = £200.00
Bumpers = £100.00

Think you're being a bit optimistic with those prices... But then you've got the buttons, stalks, display, parcel shelf, courtesy lights, engine mounts (£), glove box, ashtray, gearknob+gaiter, boot lining, bonnet, bonnet soundproofing, grille, radiator, fans, accelerator cable, hydraulic clutch (£)

...and that's just the stuff you're pretty much guaranteed to shift in a week on ebay ;)

You've just got to find the time to strip all that stuff, list it, package it, post it... But if you have the room you can do a few cars at once and even make a living out of it. I wonder why nobody's had that idea before. Oh wait...
