I hadn't even thought of the forum sponsor to be honest. I'll give them a try.

I've been offered £250 from scrapacar Scotland, which is low by any standards.

The specialist salvager offered £400, which I'm surprised at to be honest, the same company paid £700 for a non runner D2 about two years ago and the price of scrap has rocketed since.

The question is, do I go for the low ball amount and strip as much as possible off the car and make up my money that way, maybe, over time or just go for the higher but still pretty low £400 (given the value of the parts once broken).

A quick look online suggests about £250-350 for the facelift rear LEDs for instance, similar for the adaptive headlights and so on. I'm well aware that I could be holding on to a huge pile of bits that could potentially take years to shift though.

It's a bit disheartening when I have been paying nearly as much as the top offer every month for the last three years just for the honour of having it sat broken in my shed
