It's definitely an issue. I understand our local scrap metal dealer pays $200-300 depending on weight of the vehicle. A friend of mine disposed of an old Falcon wagon last year and got $280 out of them. The Falcon had about 410,000 kms...
Fair points. So any reason not to keep it until something does go wrong? Obviously it will be worth less when it does, but if another 6 months or 6000km can be had then you're probably ahead...?
Ring a couple of wreckers, get them to give you an estimate (perhaps $250), then stick it on carsales.com.au for $1000.00 negotiable and see what happens. If it won't sell, drive it to the wreckers. Alternatively try ebay.
