Good morning all

Im very sad that my Audi A3 has given up the ghost. I've loved driving it. I want to replace with similar, but before I do that I need to get the best price I can for mine. As a cylinder has gone, and it needs a new engine, its only good for parts given the age (2013) and mileage (151000 miles). Its in otherwise good condition. Can anyone advise the best way for me to do this. I don't want to break it up for parts myself but don't want to get ripped off by the plethora of online vultures. So would anyone be interested or know of a reputable company that I could approach. I'm in the Cambridge area. I'm not a 'post and run', but a genuine Audi owner, albeit new to the club.

Any help or advice gratefully received.

 

 

Good day Paul.

Given that you don't want to dismantle the car yourself, the only alternative I know of are car breakers who will offer only a notional scrap value. The price offered for the car may seem derisory when compared to the value of the individual parts of it they will undoubtedly sell, but you have to bear in mind the cost of transporting, dismantling, and storing the car.

Thanks Cliff. That's as I feared then, unless anyone else has any suggestions.

Hello Paul,

If it were mine, I would be listing it on EBay with a starting price of the scrap value you have been offered ( or can seek).Yes, you maybe messed around a bit, but someone might save it, and there little to lose except a week of time.

Regards,

Gareth. 

Thanks Gareth. Advice much appreciated. Its the messing around that concerns me though.
