jill.iom Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My other half has bought a new car this weekend and does not believe I can sell this unique little car on... Got to love a Challenge! The plan is to donate anything above £200 (which is what we can get for it as scrap/tax reclaim) to the 'Rob Vine Fund', who are responsible for supplying the helicopters & medical staff for all motoring events on the Isle of Man, including the TT & Manx Grand Prix. Check out EBay item: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=261168811343 Thanks for looking (Taxed until 30th April) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverAgain Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 How much tax is on it?, i'm guessing its 11 months? £120 + £80 scrap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdose Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Scrap gone down that much in the past 4 months? Last time I scrapped a car, 4 months ago, I got £150 for an old Kia Pride with no catalytic converter and no alloys (this car comes with spare alloys if the new owner wants them). But to answer your question I've just been out to double check the tax, it runs out on the 30th April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jill.iom Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for your interest, however the price of scrap is a little off topic - the point is we're trying to sell a unique little car in order to raise funds for a local charity. I'm confident we could easily sell 'Biscuit' on for £200 as a private sale if we tried. The same model is currently selling on Autotrader & EBay (minus the stickers!) for anything between £300-£600.

x-in-man Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It'll be great if you could get the sun roof open, get it parked at the beer tent and get it filled with cash. 1st 200 is yours the rest to the fund. A sort of giant piggy bank. ( you may have to sort the locking thou! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon selector Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Nice idea x-in-man! I would think that the publicity would be self-generating too. I can see it full of change. "Guess the amount collected" would be a nice spin-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill.iom Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Brilliant idea! The sun roof would probably open with a bit of gentle persuasion from a knife... Perhaps someone from Bushy's is reading this... I have emailed, but no-one appears to be home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverAgain Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for your interest, however the price of scrap is a little off topic But It wasn't, you didn't state how much tax was left on the car, so I calculated the tax based on the current scrap value. The car is worth more than £200, I wasn't debating that. I hope as a Charity auction you raise at least 5 times that figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon selector Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Working on this: How many pound coins would it take to fill a bath? You could make a few bob for the charity. Even dividing the figure by 100 for 1p coins. Because this is so unusual and unique it really could be a novelty for TT. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
