Hertz Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 If engines on their own are available for £200 why faff around with a complete car and all the hassle of collecting/storage and removal of the lump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Because a complete car has all the ancillaries and you can test the engine before removing it. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'd work out the cost of collection at normal* rates + Vat.Deduct that from his £300 and tell him £50 is the best you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 You could always ask him to ring the magazine again and say, 'thanks for finding someone who'd be willing to take my old car away and recycle it for me without causing me any bother, can you find someone else who'd do the same but give me three hundred pounds as well?' It'll be me that will be on the other end of the phone next time. Coprolalia, Richard, catsinthewelder and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The only 'haggling' you need to consider is how many items you suggests he inserts up his Marmite motorway. I genuinely wouldn't even buy that car for a fiver.Wow. For a VW lover like yourself to say that, it really must be bad. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coprolalia Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I didn't give up on this.Discussions have been had, some haggling, a figure has been reached and I'm organising recovery. It's thumping veg oil swilling heart will breathe new life into the OMGHGF Scirocco. I think the thread for that was lost in the great forum fire, but it will get updated in due course.

Coprolalia Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Tomorrow this will get picked up by a friendly recovery driver and taken 100 miles to my mate's garage. I've never seen it.I've heard a few sentences about it, mainly the MOT fails.I've never met anyone involved other than the final destination. Should go well then.
