Got a Y reg Astra which has only done 62k and just passed an mot. Going up for sale as just bought an 11 plate insignia. Still running my dads Jag at the weekends as can't bear to part with it yet. Think that's an 02/03 plate. Can't remember as it has a private plate on it. Still running smooth though at 134k! And got the works van. 13 plate done 57k. But don't have to pay running costs for that! 👍

Not any more, scrap values have halved since the start of the year.
In January if you drove it in and removed the battery & wheels they would give you £50-60 now they will take it off you for **** all. if you wanted it collected it will cost you.
Were find getting rid of metal garage doors a problem, metal collectors would happily take them a few months ago, now with scrap metal down to just £35 a ton we are having to pay to get them taken away.
I'll be darned. Just 18 months ago I got £180 from a scrappie for a clapped out Peugeot 405 - collected. Looks like prices have gone off a cliff.

08 polo. Got it 3 months ago through the joys of hire purchase. Thanks to the credit rating system, and my financial struggles when becoming a dad at 20, i have a 49% interest rate.
