    6 years of driving and you might be lucky to get £150 back at your local scrap metal merchant

    Seems to be a big luck element with Rovers, have known people that just drive them and others on first name terms with their local garage they spent so much time there.

    But I assume this is going to be cheap enough you can walk away if it starts to smell even slightly lemony?

    Needs a wash and theres a few little scratches...that bootlid needs looking at as well, not bad for £200 though???. I'll get half of that back from driving around the corner and weighing the Laguna in...

    A quick tip

    Anything worth selling on Ebay from the Laguna should be removed prior to taking it to the scrappy in a bid to recuperate some more of that £200

    I was hinting at stuff like Air Con unit, Wiper/window motors etc etc, but if you can trailer it down or get it towed, then i would be looking at removing all the lights and indicators, anything and everything thats worth a bit of cash to sell on Ebay, then tow the shell down and sell that after all they are after the scrap metal, surely you will be doing them a favour clearing the plastic bits out

    Well that looks like a real bargain, the wheels must be worth nearly that Looks like it will scrub up very nicely.

    I wish you many happy miles of motoring.
