Part ex or not

Just decided to change my Xantia 2.1 td for a Xsara 110 HDI

The garage have offered £100 px on my Xantia.
It has a few problems at the minute, split expansion tank and the fans don't work correctly.
Its scruffy inside and hasn't seen a bucket off water for a while

It does have 10 months MOT , new disks 5000 mile ago, new tyres and backbox and is mechanically sound (160000 mile without any problems)

Should I take the £100 or weight it in at scrap yard or is it worth breaking?

Your thoughts please

cheers

The way scrap prices are atm you will get around £120 for weighing it in, but you will get £250 no probs on the open market for a car with T+T so long as it is driveable, im sure someone here would have it for that sort of money if the body is rust and dent free, breaking would see the best return but involves a bit of work and having the carcass hanging around for weeks or even months while you wait for buyers.

£100 is ridicoulous. Sell it.

I don't suppose it's an estate and an automatic by any chance?

Thanks and good luck. Of course, I would have bet cash against it but had to ask.

£100 is a bit of an insult really....

nope, offering me £100 for my xm 4 years ago on part ex was an insult, especialy since it had 11 months tax pinned in the window too!
This is just taking the p**s a bit

I want a 2.1TD for a potential donor car to swap the engine into my Activa!

If you're interested in letting me do something with it please let me know, but I may just keep the 2.1 as it is to be honest and use that instead.

Make me an offer and its yours.

Still drives fine, just need the water topping up now and again

It would be a shame to scrap or trade it in, 2.1TDs are getting rare, im sure someone will want it off you.

Put it on ebay, it will sell for what its worth which I am sure will be more than £100.00.

Due to having my motor home stolen yesterday I've given back word on the Xsara so looks like the Xantia got a reprieve. Looks like I've got to fix the leaking expansion tank after all
