Price of scrap

[FronteraGirl]

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

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

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.

Think I'll put it on Ebay, been watching a few similar cars go for much more than he offered. Thanks for the info chaps....oh, anyone want a Laguna for spares or repairs, if you're an auto electrician you're laughing

[Bigga]

think that will be the right thing to do !

i used to buy a lot of motors but with the price of scrap and breakers round here offering £180 minimum any motor you cant buy them !

good luck with them !
