Price from breakers for doors, roof etc

Post by **buskitten** » 06 Feb 2006, 15:30

Guys at local breakers have said £200 plus vat for

pop top roof
both doors
rear hatch
bumpers

Is this a good price?

Many Thanks for your advice

If all those items are in really good condition (eg roof is smart and complete/doors straight and rust free) then that seems reasonable. I've seen roofs up for anything between £50 and £150, doors £10 to £60 each, tailgates similar.
You're only in the next county/country to me but due to the size of the place it's still about 3 hours drive to Kirkcudbright from here! One of my favourite spots - I'll give you a shout if we're heading your way sometime.

Hi Keith!
Ta for reply - please mail me if you're up this way. We could have a little meet up at the local beach, tea / wine / beers/ lunch etc

Not so long 'till spring now!

it sounds about rite
try playing them at there own game , say £200 cash, no vat and they take the stuff off the donor van ,
or just say £150 cash no vat and you will take it off the donor van for them

don't let them take the roof off!! t hey'll do it wrong, mostlikely with a grinder, if they don't undo the struts the roof will rip!!!!!

Don't worry Dave!

I'm doing it myself, with a print-out of your advice

It'll have to wait until payday, and I''m getting a cordless drill with 6mm bit like you suggested.

They would break it - they are numptys
