Jane123 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 My 12 year old Corsa has finally given up the ghost. The cam belt has gone and we have decided to cut our losses as the cost of repair is too high. My question is - my car was collected in a pick up and is now at a garage in Sheffield. What do I do now, surely its worth something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane123 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Its a shame to scrap it - its been a great car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Could you break it and sell it for parts on ebay or suchlike? You might get more for the component parts than for scrapping it, and scrapyards will only do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive to Flamborough Head, and then push it off a cliff You'll get a few hits on You Tube Just make sure nobody is sunbathing below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Not everyone wants to strip a car for parts, or has the knowledge or space to do it. It'll take months to shift all the crap, afterall who's gunna want to buy a 12 year old lower arm for a corsa, or a coil spring, or a shock absorber, or second hand brakes?? Parts for the car are so cheap you'd have to practically give them away to get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
