We buy any scrap car

[Blue Maverick]

My mini is dying, either clutch or gearbox is going, something is rattling round like it’s snapped off and it’s worth fuck all so not repairing it, we buy any car value it at £1200 but it will not get near that and will they even buy it off me with its problems. Anyone got any ideas best way of getting rid of it (NO IM NOT SETTING IT ON FORE AND CLAIMING ON INSURANCE). Apart from the scrappers does anyone buy doer uppers these days?

Put it on Ebay, describe the problems it has accuratly & honestly & you will probably get quite a bit more than scrap value.

It could be worth getting it repaired if it has low mileage. I spent £1400 on repairs on my Golf Plus 06 reg which has only done 64k miles. It was worth fuck all minus the repairs. I couldn’t buy a similar car for £1400 with 64k miles on the clock. It now runs like a dream with a new clutch, new plugs and coils, new alternator. Drove it down to West Sussex last month with no probs. Sure it’s old but it drives like new.

Borrow a car, drive round your area and find another mini.
Go back at 3am, have the mini away, swap the plates, all sorted.

Rather more elegant than the old hat setting fire to it routine. :-)

I sold a car with a fucked gearbox to We buy any car. The questionnaire they sent only asked about the engine and bodywork and not the gearbox. They knew it wasn’t drivable and sent a pick up for it.

Looks like the latest trend is to set it on fore :-) I thought that only worked for Golf's??
