    Well they do have a gearbox and might be able to sell the rest of the car for scrap and get more money back that way.

    Depends on what box it is, but even the ZF auto (5HP) you can get for £450, so that means they need to get £250 back in scrap, not likely. Or break the car yourself? You'd need to strip it.

    For me it doesn't stack up, but each to their own
