Value for Scrap of a Vauxhall Astra


APS

Recommended Posts

I have a

right hand drive 1994 Vauxhall Astra 1.7d engine, with a damaged

piston. The garage has said that the engine needs to be replaced, which

wil cost over 1000€
. As I dont think the car is worth this, I

have decided to scrap it. Someone is interested in buying the car. My

question is what's the cars value for scrap in France. The CT on the

car expires on the 29.10.2009.

Thanks for your help.

in France you have to scrap your car at an agreed scrapper - although you can sell it for parts (sans CT) anywhere!

You may be surprised to note that sometimes you can scrap a car and be charged for it. Mostly it depends on the garage that scraps it - and if they can recuperate any bits from it. It costs someone - somewhere, so if you can trade good tyres (par example) against damaged bodywork then you could walk away without having to pay.

Leaving it in the garden to "grow over" is also an option - commonly seen in Limousin :)
