		Anyone know the going rate for scrap prices at the moment?
I phoned parents up earlier to learn dad is scrapping his car tomorrow, it's a 2 tonne Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.3L 6 cylinder auto with chrome alloy wheels, electric rear doors, heated seats, 8 speaker surround and lpg conversion. The price he's getting for it...
£90!..
I could have sworn cars were worth more than that! I told him to break for parts before scrapping but he hasn't got time so I offered him £100 so I can break it myself but he doesn't want it on the driveway hanging about until I can get back from uni.

		gone down again varies in areas, getting £100 here but if prepared travel 45 mins or so can get £140 last time i went, but not worth going unless its more than a shell for ballache

		£100 a ton round here, that big yank bus should be £200 easy? He'd get £300 for the LPG kit, if it was single point (which I doubt it will be) I'd make an offer!

		Well it's gone, what a waste. Really quite peeved at my dad right now and at silverlake 
Like you said liam the lpg conversion would have been worth something, it cost him £1500 about two years ago

		That's terrible, might as well just throw money in the bin. 
Scrap is on its arse, sub £100 a tonne but still you'd hope for at least £150 for that bus. Scrap prices tend to be best in the south east too.
