How much for a scrapper?
« on: 12 May 2009, 20:23:50 »
Gave a local a knock today as he has had an elite on his drive for a year or two with flat tyres etc, mentioned I could be interested in some parts but it would be easier to take the whole thing off his hands. Apparently the autobox is goosed and one of the heads had gone porous? Definately isn't goin back on the road....

Anyways I offers him £120 as I could take it and pick what I need at my leisure but he looked as though I had insulted his wife. It has the old leather int without airbags so I wouldnt make a fortune breaking it methinks,  What do you reckon its worth?

Think £120 was well generous mate. There has been a couple through auction near here recently at £200 and they were running and MOT'd! :-?

Me too, just thought by the time I have all the bits I want I could get some dosh back for the cams and a few panels as it aint rusty at all( 3.0 v6 in met black BTW )

Might just wait till the grumpy old git pops his clogs and give his missus £50 for it ;) ( only joking...... £40)

Sure as $hit ain't worth what you originally offered considering it's a non runner with a shagged box and a 2 bob interior.

As H12 said, £120 was more than generous (you'd get £50 tops down here if it can't move under it's own steam).
