« on: 07 October 2010, 10:02:27 »

as per my newbie post ,my friend bought the car for spares for his car and asked me to get £250 back on the car ,im half way there ,my question is how much does a 2.5 v6 elite weigh as im thinking of scrapping the rest to make up the difference and cover costs etc

I've just finished breaking an Mv6 and, to be honest £250 should be attainable very easily just by removing the catalytic converters (£130 scrap value) and weighing in the rest...

Have a browse through the Car Parts, Bits for Sale & Wanted Section. You will see loads of parts for sale & sold there, all with the prices being asked. It will give you the best idea what to charge for your bits. :y

If the items are being collected why ask for a tenner to wrap them :-?

Em for me to wrap bumper and get ready for collection would cost me ,as the items being sent loose may get damaged ,im fair but not stupid
