Well Im sorry but i think the traders are wrong on the amount it would break for. If that is how much they are breaking for, you must all be buying your cars for peanuts.(£2000) to make a profit. Im sure the amount of time you spend stripping them doesnt leave with alot of profit.

just look on ebay, engine(if good) can reach anything from 800 - 1500 in near to standard spec. depends on what you get with it.

and theres still lots of bits left.

you think about it.

I reckon it would break for about 4k - 6k

Standards bits are very hard to sell on I found!

2500 Max for that car as a breaker IMO

High mileage engine
Transmission
Cloth interior
Nothing much else worthy of big money that i can see.

Having just done it I can tell you it wont.

Plus, you get left with a shell, which unless it was like mine, is worth fook all.

I broke my last saff before this one too, and you end up with so much worthless junk you wouldn't believe it.

So if we are optimistic and assume the engine complete with ancilleries fetches £1500, where does the other £4500 come from?

well you got to understand there are alot more pieces that can be sold, wheels and so on so on.

I know someone who broke there car last year in the summer. They made just over 3k and still had the engine remaining.

now thats good.

What you could do, and its really only my perception, is take some more up to date piccies of the car as it is now, and redo the advert and readvertise it, as the piccies on here are not what is coming with the car (esc cos alloys, ally tnaks etc) which may put peeps off.
and some of the interior etc

Even tho Ebay may be a bit daunting, if the piccies are good, then you never know, and have nothing to lose, if you use HTML & Photobucket you can get much better quality piccies than if you use ebays standard piccie service etc,
