listy Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 My daily failed its MOT on excessive corrosion of suspension mounts, arms bushes and pretty much anything else that can corrode. To fix everything would cost more than the car is worth, so I'm planning on just scrapping it. Details Mazda6 TS2 2002 (52) Manual Grey Cloth interior Factory extra Bose sound system including sub 6 CD multichanger Alloy wheels with 4 good tyres Electric Windows Electric Sunroof How much would it be worth scrap to a scrappy do we think? I did an online comparison and it quoted £54 The wheels with tyres alone on eBay go for £150-£200. Thinking I may be better off breaking it and scrapping what's left. Opinions...

mc92 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Only £54? I got about £350 for a 1996 Fiesta with significant front end damage so I'm surprised it came out that low. I used http://www.cartakeback.com/ when I did mine. If they're all offering ridiculously low prices you're probably right about trying to break it yourself.
