    Hi all,

    I need some parts for my car and my local breaker has 3 or 4 of my model.
    An odd question I know, but what is the "etiquette" for buying from a scrapyard please?

    I.e. is there an accepted cost for parts (say 50% new value) or is it haggle as low as you can?

    I have to strip the parts myself which is fine, but should the prices be agreed before I begin, or do they give me a price when I present what I have taken off?

    Cheers

    Ettiquette and scrapyord / breaker values are oppossite poles apart. his version of ettiquette is to tell you to fackorf when you offer 30 % for a burnt. crushed and scatced body pannel.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
