my W reg SXi is doing my head in 2bh, i bought it back in september and it's been reliable and a good servant, only yesterday i did colchester to leicester and back, 320 miles in a day but there are just so many things wrong with it
this morning i went to check the oil and when i pulled the dipstick out it brought the pipe it's in out with it
it's ridden with rust on both doors, the boot, and bonnet and theres a nice dent in the passenger side cill
so i can't imagine anyone would want to buy it so i'm just wondering how much i'd get for it if i scrapped it in? any ideas much appreciated

If you mean as metal, 50 quid at current prices.

If you mean to sell it to a breakers, probably a little more but not much.

I would imagine you'll do better selling it on Ebay with some nice pics. The public will generally pay more for it. If you were closer I would have it for bits for mine.

cheers guys, mmm i suppose with the supposed 'recession' metal prices are down,
EPAS?? to do with the power steering at a guess

and yeah breaking it would seem to make me more money, the sport interior is pretty good etc
