    I have a 99 1.6 Audi A4 that has a blown ignition coil and im not sure but i think there's a chance the head gasket is gone,

    The car starts grand and runs fine but does not drive more than 10 miles an hour
    Im basically just trying to get rid of it at this stage,
    Is there anywhere i could bring that someone would take it off my hands

    Is it possible to trade it in in the condition its in?
    Just looking for a quick sale at this point

    Just stick it up on donedeal for 500 quid, be honest about the problems in the ad and see what you get for it.

    Sorry to bring up an old thread but I've only gotten around to this now,
    I now have two cars that aren't running that i need to sell before midweek next week because im leaving the country for another job,

    I really shouldn't have left it so late,
    Does anyone know any other popular sites that i can throw them up on?
    I have them on done deal/cars ireland and am just about to throw it up on adverts if its free that is,

    Is there anywhere i could sell them to like a scrapyard or something for parts because i am very stuck for time with this
    Thanks

    Or try ringing the scrap yards, you might only get €250 each though...

    Im gonna try and call them today, Is €250 the average price for a car?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 577 ✭✭✭Ed The Equalizer


    I got something like that, maybe €270 for a 01 Mazda 323 that had been crashed into at the back and wasn't worth fixing for the insurance.
