What Geoff said Owen. It's a minimum 200 squids for something that
size/weight. Get it to a scrapper and pocket a few readies.

£200, maybe, to scrap a perfectly good runner? That doesnt make sense
to me... Ive passed it on to someone who will get some benefit from
it, itll help him and when hes done with it he'll hopefully pass it on
to someone else... To me that has a greater value. Then again, Im in
the very fortunate position of not having to worry about £200. There
was a time when I did have to worry about such an amount... I drove a
car that I was given for nothing by someone on UKRM, it even came with
half a tank of fuel and when it died, it limped into the scrapyard
where I was given £25. I figure Im passing the favour/goodwill on...
Good karma man...

Actually, scrap prices are falling from an all-time high in January.
'Light Iron' which is cars and other general steel scrap was £209 in
Jan, now down to £160/tonne. Still higher than it was 18 months ago.

Perfectly good running order 520i

However, I wasn't renewing the insurance and would cost me more to
terminate the insurance than I would have received back

If I had sold it and there had been an accident , there could have been
repercussions regarding my NCD

how crazy is that ?

I don't understand that. If you've sold it, you're no longer responsible for
what happens to/with it, so how can your insurance NCB be affected? The new
owner can't drive it on your policy and if you've not given permission for
anyone else to drive it, you're again not responsible for anything that
happens.
