mouseflakes Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 what's with cars with MOT's going for less than scrap(under£150) ?Perhaps some folks just like to see something than can be used being used rather than destroyed? I'd give away an old car to someone who can do something with it (drive it, do it up, break for spares, race it) rather than have the scrap value for it to be crushed.Probably explains why I'm still poor.

KruJoe Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Some people probably believe that they'd still have to pay to have their car taken away for them; it isn't hard to imagine that there ARE members of the public who don't watch scrap metal prices as closely as some of us might! A few more 11th hour bargains to be had here... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-HONDA-LEGEND-GREEN_W0QQitemZ300260599975 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-PROTON-GLS-GREEN_W0QQitemZ230296230653 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-FIAT-TIPO-2-0-16V-GREEN_W0QQitemZ110293989145 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRUE-VALUE-FOR-MONEY_W0QQitemZ260293289436 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 what's with cars with MOT's going for less than scrap(under£150) ?The price of scrap has fallen again. Our local yard is advertising at £130 driven in or £100 collected, and I believe it's actually down to £110 driven in. I think it was £220 driven in a few months ago.What Mouseflakes says is true too. I would rather let a car go for scrap value or even less just to see it put to good use. Funnily enough I'm still poor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 If this were a 202 I would be selling everything I own to buy it. Somehow 201s don't do it for me in the same way. Still a nice unsusual alternative to an Austin Ten though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these any good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-SAAB-900-SE- ... 0286255757 I know the 'official line' is that these are poo compared to the classic shape 900.... but from where I am sat 215bhp for less than £800 is pretty tempting.

I've had a couple (non-turbo) and they've been fine. Not got quite the same hewn-from-granite feel as the Classics, and don't handle as well either, but they seem to hold together better than the 9-5s. Avoid the Sensonic like the plague and you should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent as well built -but are better to drive -in some aspects- and economically powerful too. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
