A friend at work has a J reg 2.5Ltr V6 Cavalier. It is an Automatic
and has recently had a new gear box. It has no tax or MOT and does
need some TLC. It needs a new home or it will be off the the great
scrap heap in the sky on the 1st October.

He really would like to avoid scrapping it if possible and will take a
nominal fee for it (to be discussed with him).

If you are interested please drop me a line at the address below.
(Dont forget to de-spam the addy!)

crushed. No one will want it unfortunately even though it was a good car.
He'll find himself having to pay to have it removed rather than hoping
someone will pay him.

Not any more, I think you'll find. Scrap has risen in value and you don't
have to pay to have a car crushed now.

I'll agree with what Vince said - you're talking shite. Scrapyards do
pay for scrap motors now, thanks to the price of scrap metal having
risen in recent times. And I would guess the owner only wants a bit of
beer money for it (10-20 quid), which is well worth it to someone it'd
be of use to, who could afford the time/effort/skills into giving it the
attention it requires.

As others have pointed out things have changed. Thanks entirely to the
rise in consumption of steel by China. Cars may not be worth much but
you dont have to pay the scrap man any more. I know this for a fact
having scrapped a car last year. It didnt cost me a penny.

Also as others have said this is just a beer money job. My mate would
hate to see what was once a sporty car scrapped. Someone might like a
restoration project. IIRC recent press reports suggested that the
Cavalier is now relatively scarce so it might be worth someones while
grabbing theis opportunity.

Scarce does not necessarily mean worth restoring...

Maybe not so sporty, but at least the V6 had a reasonable amount of go.

Worth running as a fun car though, if it doesn't need too much doing.

My aplogies for the missapplication of the term "sporty" not being a
petrol head of any worth I have no clue Just trying to avoid the
car being scrapped as the subject says.

As I havent had any interest here or privately by mail I suspect it's
off to China to become cheap PC cases for this one. Thanks for the
replies.
