I have a lovely 2002 MV6 3.2 which is an absolutely brilliant car

Full MOT, lots of tax, sequential LPG.

I put it on an aution website with a reserve of £800. The bidding ended at £650.

Are these things really worth sooo little?

What are the parts worth on these things - enough to make breaking it worthwhile? I suspect it would be worthwhile, once the tax has been claimed back....

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

Sadly it does make financial sense. Wheels, assuming good, non-Chinese tyres, £200 a set easy. £100 for immaculate interior... etc, etc

Go on ..... break it! There'll just be my Omega left soon at the rate these cars seem to get broken for parts. ....... 

[JamesV6CDX]

I suppose if I do break it, I could keep the LPG kit and fit it to my Jaaaag

Whats the next car James? S Type?

[tigers_gonads]

Tbh James, its just before christmas so people are skint, fuel duty is probably going up and scrap prices are dropping like a stone.

Keep it imho

[JamesV6CDX]

Keep it imho

Appreciate what you say, but not an option I'm afraid. New, low mileage replacement is here, can't afford to have two on the drive space wise, as the Mrs passed her test and is getting a new car this weekend too...

It has to be gone... soon ish, even if I have to take a hit.

So, what have you got then James?

[tigers_gonads]

If you can aford to take a 650 quid hit james, you could always give it to me 
I'll even pay for my own travel costs down there 

On a serious note, if thats your situation, break it sadly
