Be very carefull the price is dropping fast, they were paying well over £150 a ton, a couple of my mates got £100 a ton today, but apparently it will be around £50-60 very soon.

 

if its the n reg one i want the airbox and parcel shelf lol

seriously, we got 110 for a car a couple of weeks ago but it was full of scrap exhausts too.

 

there's a few scrappies in swindon, last time someone i know who weighed one in was £90 a ton, but that was a few weeks back - that was coopers, swindon

 

My neighbour got £187 quid for a MK3 Cav diesel, I recently got £130 quid for a Clio diesel

 

i got £24 for a chopped up shell ( Pics on my resto thread)

 

£167 for a 2.0l chavalier

 

interesting, do they collect or is it take it down the yard?

 

2 months ago i was getting £170 a tonne, now its £110 a tonne but im on the coast and heard you get more the further inland you go??? cant remember the reason for it though.

 

I've towed them down, I remember a couple of years back up here they used to deduct off your total £5 quid for each tire you left with the scrap car!!!
If you can be arsed... cut the cats off, were getting £75 quid for a original cat, its worth saving scrap batteries aswell if your scrapping lots of cars...
I bought a 2 litre Mondeo last year just for the engine ( to go in the Orion / zetec turbo ) Payed £125 quid for the car. Had engine out, plus other bits and bobs, it weighed in at £90 quid, & I got £50 quid for the cat = Free engine plus other partsand I was in profit just...

 

I got £68 for 520kg of car body panels today.

 

price this morn in taroni's of birmingham was £125 per tonne of steel.

 

Do well, I was taking to a guy yesterday and he said that the price of scrap has not gone down all year, infact its gone up £5 this month, he said the scrap yards are just being proper tight and clearing up.

 

Jesus! More than i thought and MUCH more than it was 5 years ago. I scrapped a carlton estate and got £26 back then! Bang goes the £10 cars at the auction then!

 

Nah mate, the Chinks arent buyin as much atm cos of the Olympics, so everythings went right down in price, might be back up in afew months tho.

 

£130 for a volvo 440 i got. thats in london

 

I bought a Mondeo Diesel for £70 last year with 2 months MoT from auction, MoT'd it (passed straight off) and ran it around for 12 months and scrapped it in may got £150 for it. Went back to the auctions to get another cheapy and there isn't anything going for less than £200 these days.

 

price yesterday was £125 a tonne,its dropping,almost half the price it was 3 months ago,but then everybody rushed to scrap as much as possible so loads on the market,give it 6-8 months and it will rise again and then there will be so much less scrap about as so much has been cleared in this latest rush,farms,old cars,even quarries and factories around here are all clear of scrap now.no doubt it will be the same all over the country.

iam going to stockpile mine for a few months now and wait.

 

£140 a ton round my way at the moment. i got £148 for a mk3 astra 5 door the other week
