Scrapping Mondeo
skodaman - 9/12/09 at 09:35 PM

I've got to get rid of one of my mondeos in next two days cos no more room down the drive. Shame cos it's still taxed and tested. Anyway local breakers gives you a standard ten quid for any car as long as you drive it there. Apparently there's a local scrap dealers that actually weighs the car and pays accordingly. How much approx. should they offer at the moment?
If it's nothing I'm sorely tempted to keep the engine for future kit car use cos it runs fine and is 1994 so doesn't require a cat etc. unlike my later Mondeo. But then I'll have to pay them to take the body away.
Either way it's got to go cos the gate doesn't open far enough to get the wheely bin through, and I'm not getting the car out for the sodding useless binmen.

If it's Taxed and tested isn't it good enough to sell as a runner?

Err not really but if you want it and can collect it in next two days it's yours for £100. Basically I've swapped all the new bits I've put on it back to my other Mondeo, eg battery plug leads, plugs, tyres, wiper blades etc. but couldn't be bothered changing the two silencer boxes so they're pretty new. basically it works okay brakes fine engine fine etc. but drivers window is jammed halfway and it leaks steering rack fluid.

Forgot to add Harrogate was last place it went to for a run out (MNR factory actually) so it knows the way.

ah. well if you had time you could have put it on the bay of flee's as spares or repair - lol

Thanx for the info JoelP. Think I'll chuck my assorted collection of cavalier and 12" escort wheels in the back as well oh and the wife's entire Phil Collins collection .

keep the alloys seperate, i think they're worth more!

ps i know the feeling about not being able to shut the gates any more, i still cant even with the AX gone! Two trailers, two vans and a jeep and 5 wheelie bins

No alloys unfortunately. Mind you I'd have kept em for the locost anyway and I've got some 4x4 sierra ones for that.
5 wheely bins wow. I'll swap you two for one Mondeo.
