Price of scrap by FronteraGirl on Wed Oct 26, 2011 11:05 am
Anyone got an ear on the price of scrap just now? I've got a T reg Renault Laguna estate and an R reg Ford Fiesta Combi van to go, the guys just offered me £150 for the car and £100 for the van, does that sound about right? I'm in the NE Scotland in case that makes a difference, he was whinging how the price of scrap isn't much at the mo, yet I heard a while ago that the price was up and all the local scrappies were coining it in again :roll:

I got £150 for a stripped corsa. So think your cars are worth more tbh. They fetch more on ebay as spares or repair :D

I was under the impression this guy who advertises on vans parked around the local towns, was using the cars to export to other countries, which appealed to me as the Renault is certainly too good for scrap. Maybe I'll hang fire and look around a bit. Ta for info chaps.
