Yes, some chap on here has a '99 car which somebody hit. He recons insurance would value it at £800, but he will repair it for £300. Why not buy an '03 car, almost the same money, buy your car back from insurance for not much and weigh it in. You will have gone from a '99 to '03 and still have a few quid in the bank.
That's the financial sense. However its another mig scrapped, a car that will probably be capable of many more miles of useful service with a small amount of work. Such a shame.
I sometimes think about scraping my car, with its few niggling problems and getting a late V6 a bit of fun, ..... but there again, I have almost become attached to her, spent too long respraying her, fitting LPG, servicing etc, and she has carried me and th family for many miles, with only a few problems (like head gaskets, foreign matter causing the cambelt to jump, crap waterpumps breaking, crap halfords alternators destroying halfords batteries.....)
Sod it stuff your Audi's BMW's VW's etc, I'm staying Mig based
