Default What to do with 99 Rover 214I

Hi guys,

Little advice needed. I`ve a 99 Rover 214i sitting outside that I`d hope to press back into service one day but that day has never come.

Its got no m.o.t or tax and isnt worth spending the money on to get those done as it will probably only be worth £200.

Is it worth breaking it, the engines done around 80,000 miles and is in good nick.

What else could I sell off to try and get some funds for the childs christmas presents??

Thanks in advance
Chris

You may get a couple of quid for the engine and ancillerys, prob not worth the effort tbh!

Do an eBay completed listings search to see what, if anything, sells

not worth breaking in my opinion, best thing to do is to stick it on ebay with a reserve a few quid short of scrap value.

you'll spend alot of time breaking it in this freezing weather for little reward

£175, that's with an MOT!!

Personally I'd see what your local scrap man will give for it, then fling it on ebay with that as the reserve.
