It's probably because many of them are worth more as parts than as a complete car (sadly).

I have spoken with him, and its exactly as Richard has said earlier, its worth a lot more in parts. Sad but thats the way things go.

A sad state of affairs. Pity the car went to him, rather than someone who would have appreciated it.

I think we should make an effort to boycott this seller, breaking a perfectly good car is just wrong :cry:

Best avoid me as well then. :lol:

While I agree with what you're saying in theory.

Truth is this happens a lot. Nothing you can about it. The price of scrap is also up so easy money straight away. Plus selling parts.

In my experience, especially off a Vitesse he'll see a good profit off it.

Have to agree there.

I know i have broken a few to keep mine on the road, and like every one i,m always on the look out for good spares.

Would be nice to buy complete, not personally a colour i would prefer, but i,m sure others will pick up some very good spares.
Looking at some of the prices for the engine alone the past while, thats worth atleast £ 500 min on there.

It just seems so wrong to break a really good car.... but lets face it capitalism is a strong driving force.

I'm about to break LeeLee's old sterling but we both know it has lots of faults so it's not such a hard thing to do. I will still have a little pang of guilt as I start the strip as I drove it to the yard for striping and it was a nice drive.
