Pretty surprised at the scrap value...

Drove my wifes 1993 Audi into a local scrap metal merchants yesterday & walked out with £260!

I'm not well up on scrap values but I was surprised to get that much especially as I only paid £800 for it nearly 4 years ago.

Dunno if that was a good price or not.....?

    A few years ago you had to pay the scrap dealer to take your car.

    The tide has turned, dealers also know what car parts they can shift not just the "weight value".;);)
    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
