^ I take it to mean they'd rather not scrap it but if people are just going to give them stupid lowballs they'll put it towards an electric.

It looks like a tidy car for 7k. Be prepared to get raped if anything goes wrong.

seeing that mismatch paint on that one door alone will make anyone's butt hole clench.

I've always admired Alfas, especially this era of design for them. In my opinion, these are some of the best sounding V6 engines... but I had no idea the automatics shift like this ! Clutchless gated shifter from the factory ?! so cool.

Having owned an Alfa once (78 Spider) parts are a bit hard to come by, especially given the circumstances of COVID-19 these days. There aren't any Canadian distributors of Alfa Romeo parts, but there are a handful based out of the US. Otherwise, for these models, you would need to get your parts from Europe (not exclusive to Italy.)

People often think that Alfa Romeos are bizarre or complicated to work on - this is not true. They're no different than say your average BMW, VW, Audi, Toyota, Honda etc. They have their weird/odd quirks (because Italian) but that's about it. Are they reliable? For this generation, for an Alfa, yes (lol.) Otherwise, a real pleasure to drive (when it works lol) and to own (subjective.) I have an affinity for Italian nonsense, but this one here is great for people who just enjoy being punished by their spouse (Mr. HappySlip comes to mind.)

Speaking of scrap value, I have a POS 92 Cavalier with steel wheels and was wondering how much Schinzter Steel would pay right now.

After removing the cat and battery, total pay out would be about $90.00

Scrap it program is $6k towards new electric and $3k towards a used one. It must be plated for 6 months.

plus there's limited amount of $ for scrap-it program, it's not like it's readily available whenever you want it.

Yep, haha that's my Previa for sale, have had it for about 2 years. Price is negotiable but if I only got offers for $1k I'll just let them crush it into a ball and get an EV. Went to look at the Leaf Plus and Applewood has quite a bit of scrap it allocation. Also test drove the Bolt 2 weeks ago which seems to drive better.

Perhaps I should've mentioned it was BC Scrap It, not some junkyard part out scrap evaluation. I guess people looking at this kind of car probably aren't cross shopping a new EV. I'll edit the ad later today.

If anyone is interested feel free to dm

Messaged about this CRX this morning. Seller doesn't seem to know much about it, stopped responding when I asked if it had a title and keys. Just saw it go by on the back of a tow truck on King George about 20 mins ago

This CRX is being flipped again. Current seller has a scrap yard in Surrey on King George and 64

Plating it for 6 months with minimal coverage couldn't possibly cost more than $1k for a typical normal driver. (I'd wager it's quite a bit less, actually.) So if you have plans to pick up an EV or even just a PHEV, that would totally be worth it.

This is why I bought the Cavalier for $300. Insurance, tax and fees $790. Decided not to bother now that gas prices are tanking and we aren’t driving anywhere. I cancelled the insurance.

A few calls to various dealers on the island and I found scrap it tickets for a new Leaf.

twitchyzero 04-01-2020 09:18 AM

on the assumption there will even be EV credits in the coming months that's not re-directed to paying out millions on EI...at least the air feels cleaner now :alone:

it took some time to come around on changing my mindset about car ownership, but it'll look very differently for at least the rest of the year

glad i rid the 3rd vehicle days before pandemic and the 2nd vehicle is likely going back on storage

dared3vil0 04-01-2020 10:24 AM

^ Yup, i'm so glad I sold the Mustang a few months ago...
