Bye bye GTi - how to dispose of a Cat 3 write off

[svartalf]

Sorry - didn't explain that very well. The offer is 1550 and they keep the car or 1400 and I keep it. So effectively they are saying my trashed mottor is only worth 150.

No, they are saying it is worth £1550 but letting you have the option to buy it back. If you're still getting £1400 after getting it back then use that to put it back on the road.

Erm, no they're not!

They're saying that your car is worth £1550, hence why they have offered that

They usually give you the option to buy it back from them for a minimal fee because it saves them the hassle of dealing with the disposal of it.

Buy it off them for £150, strip it for parts then weigh in the rest, job done.

[svartalf]

Aren't they saying it was worth 1550 but in its current state it's only worth 150. But yes, I'd have thought the parts are worth well in excess of that, buy I guess that's how scrappiest make their money.

[lshigham]

That seems like a very good deal to me, they're paying a fair price and letting you have the car back for scrap value

[Thom89]

Is your excess £150?

How is your back? 

Mr Whippy springs to mind.

Where are you?

Sure someone would buy it off ya. I will if the buying of a Clio doesn't go through.

What engine is it? If its a 20v turbo then buy it back, sell the parts and take the £1400. Put that and what you make towards a new car.
