if i break the golf........
« on: 12 August 2008, 23:16 »
i have an 88 gti on an e plate, i want a late model mk2 8v instead and the car i have has more tin worm than i thought. just a quick question to everyone really, i have been told i could get up to £150 to weigh the car in but if i strip all the good bits off it, its got good rainbow seats, all the trim, glass, bumpers, front splitter, grille etc, will i still get the same value or will i get f**k all?

only asking as i spent quite a bit of wedge on my motor and id like to get as much back as i could.

would there be any intrest in any bits off it? i also have a set of mim type wheels which need tyres and a refurb if anyone fancies them.

cheers :smiley:

it's the metal they're after really so strip all the sellable bits and fill the tank with water then weigh it in  :grin:

also they hate tyres and ive heard reduce the price if they have to dispose of them.

i was speaking to some scrap merchants around here and apparently the price of scrap steel has dropped by half what it was a month ago. i got offered max of £60 for my old project golf.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

drivers and passengers seats are vgc, the rear bench has a white mark on it? i think if someone was to give them an aquavac they would come up minty mint, i also have a good parcel shelf with no holes. not really arsed about the scrap if i can make on the bits  :smiley:
