Free VW Sharan

[Hertz]

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? 

[Richard]

Because a complete car has all the ancillaries and you can test the engine before removing it.

[Mally]

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.

[barefoot]

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.

He told me it was very much a farm car , big scratch down one side, no headlining , mot says it has no passenger seats fitted either . Probably bin run on red diesel...

[toejam]

Make arrangement to collect... then put a clown mask on       before you knock on the door...

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.

[Coprolalia]

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]

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.

[red5]

So standard AS M.O. then. 

 

Carry on.

[bigfella2]

Am I ok to ask how much the free Sharan was?

[Coprolalia]

Went and finally looked at this and collected the service history.

Exactly what I need, a bit doggy but a good one I think.

Update with piccies later!
