Having just bought another octavia a petrol saloon  i needed to offload one of my  two 1.9tdi estates one i am still driving and one i retired when i bought the one i am driving and couldnt bare to part with itso its been parked on drive for 5/6 years.Before i laid it up it was pretty perfect re driving the engine was amazing and pulled like a train ,stronger than the one i bought to replace it .I had always maintained it no cost spared i replaced the complete clutch and flywheel set up and replaced slave cylinder also the only issue car had was an airbag light due to a wiring problem in front passenger door.I used to start it and even move it a little every few weeks . Now i need to get rid as i will be driving the newer saloon and park my 08 that i am currently driving on the drivethe one needing to go is 05.i rang the local scrap yard for a price and expected about £400 approx  they offered me £238 so i binned that idea and moved it to my works yard to store a while .How much is car worth considering a scrapyard would probably want circa £300 just for the gearbox. mechanic started it on drive and drove it a couple of miles to my work yard it drove surprisingly well brakes took a few hundred yards to become effective . Can anyone make use of it for a reasonable cost .

It depends on miles history and mainly condition. 12 months mot makes it more desirable. Why not post an advert in here and offer it to a more targeted audience?

 

i was meaning whats it worth as a runner for parts  its done 270k miles but the engine is good and strong or it was when i parked it up ,it had plenty of new parts before lay up with clutch as before mentioned

Maybe strip otherwise a runner about £500-700 with an MOT
