AdamB Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Does anyone know the best places to sell your car to these scrappage companies like we buy any car? I was quoted £175 for my car but wondering if anyone knows companies which offer good rates. ThanksAdam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 They never offer good money £175 will probs be the best you get I was offered £50 by we but any car for a w reg golf gti turbo that was mint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ay mate I know, I was offered £75 for my old Corsa sport which was in very good nick. This is a BMW 316i compact I'm trying to get rid of as I've just bought another daily so this eneds to go. I've got a rare optional extra arm rest as well which I'm told I can get about £80 for, so if I sell that then I can get back virtually what I paid for the car. Just wondering if anyone recommends anything than the usual places you see advertised on telly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Bang it on gumtree, someone will come and get it.I used to buy and sell cars for a hobby basically and anything under 500 quid was taken the next day 9/10 times.That company you mentioned are a shower of robbing bastards.

AdamB Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ay mate I was thinking that like, but it's got so many problems it's not worth it.Got no windows as both the regulators are fucked, although I do have 2 for it. The ABS light is on, missing the drivers side wing mirror glass. Just don't think anyone would be interested tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 People wouldn't care about the problems if they are making a track car or banger racing shed or even as a parts donor stick it on gumtree and eBay for a little higher than you want so when you get knocked down they think they are getting a bargain and you get that magic number James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just bunged it on gumtree, will see how it goes. Need to get rid asap really as I've not got the room to keep it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottyb Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 You may be surprised tbh! Not sure what its like there but loads of folk around here are snapping up cheap bmw to use as drift toys, but that could be because theres a dedicated drift track here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not many drifters as such round here, but plenty of the local chav mobiles with their loud corsa's and halfords clio's lol. No takers as of yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
