How much to scrap a Maestro?

[redmaestro]

This afternoon, I finally got round to sending my old 1.3L [G474 SEA] to the scrappy. My friends had told me that you have to pay them to take the car. One mate even told me he heard that it was about £50!!! So I went down with my V5 and a cheque book, and with a tear in my eye, went to scrap the 1.3.

The bloke looked at it, and cos I drove down to the scrappy, he said... " Well mate, I can only give ya 10 quid for it"

Needless to say, I was well made up! I honestly thought I would have to pay him to take it. As I waited for my Dad to pick me up, I started to wonder.... How much does everyone else get (or even have to pay) for scrapping a Maestro?

Extremely sorry to hear that you had to scrap a maestro today...

I knoew of someone a few years back having to spend £100 to get their maestro scrapped, and there wasnt much left of it either.. cuz id got all the useful bits i could think of from it first! Including the head of the A Series engine. So, very pleased to hear they paid you!

Might be worth starting a poll to see peoples answers?

I believe we had to pay £5 to scrap Michael. I'm not completely sure, as I wasnt around at the time, but that's how much we had to pay to scrap the Mini a year previously.

I,ve taken two to the scrappie so far and got nothing for either of them, but at least I wasn't charged anything and I have a garage full of spares for my City X.

Dad got £1200 when J373 ONC was scrapped.
The boyfriend of the tart who wrote it off didn't like the idea of the insurance companies beings involved, :rolleyes: :mad: and so he paid £900 for the car and £300 for 'compensation.'

She was driving under his insurance, that's why he piped up.
