Ta most scrappers will let you drop it off for free, weight in places will laugh at you asking for payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk6 Si Ross Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 threw one away at the tip recently, scrappers weren't remotely interested in paying out money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 pop it in the local scrappy next time you're there, ask for a small payment, if they laugh at you walk off and take the cat with you, if they offer anything just take it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzetec Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Ring first and ask if they are interested in it, a genuine cat is worth more than a replacement one and they should be worth around £30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEEMAN Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 advertise it on ebay for £30 buy it now, there are a few people that buy scrap cats for that price and sometimes they collect it and give you cash there and then!! which is good! worth a try mind!

Craig855S Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 How come if a cat is worth 30 then most scrap metal merchants only pay 65 for a whole car? (what i got offered for my volvo a few weeks ago) 1.5 tonnes of steel and an all ally engine along wit5h the cat and alloy wheels etc and he offers me 65 quid.....

SLEEMAN Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 its just weight to them probably, my local one ASM are quite good, i tend to split the alloy parts, any batteries etc to weigh in seperately. i weighed in a bad 3 door escort with no front end, no engine and gearbox, old exhaust in the car and got £80 in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
