Just Bought This, What Would You Do Woth It?

[Faxo]

A guy at my Mrs' work was scrapping his car, so I said I'd take it for scrap money as I'm a mechanic and after a little project - I paid £120

The car is a 2006 06 Fiat Grande Punto Active Sport 3dr, the reason he was scrapping it is it's been stood for 2 months and leaked water inside, and it's got 144k on it!

I haven't got anything to lose as I paid scrap, so today I went to have a look at it.....



Yes that is a puddle in the rear footwell

So, what would you do with it? Clean up and sell on with no test, clean it up really well, 12 months ticket new cambelt etc, or just throw it on eBay as it is and walk away?

I'd fix it and sell it.

My local Tesco has a hand car wash which does interior car valeting for £6.

MOT test, about £40.

???

Profit?

Any Valeter worth their salts should have that looking mint in no time, chuck an MOT on it job jobbed. Tidy profit. The lad did well. Shake me 'and and take it away.. /Mike Brewer

Get it cleaned, get it through an MOT and sell it.

Suppose my main concern is someone mentioned the mould is dengerous?

Don't wanna go killing anyone!

I'd valet the interior but like most valeters I'd charge a lot more than £120 to do it

8 year old Fiat,a "massive" 144K on it and bit of water inside = scrap.

Words fail me.

Don't be retarded
mold infesting a house can cause health problems for those living in it due to long term exposure, particularly if they have existing conditions
unless you are selling it to someone with asma, who plans to live in it, there is no concerns here

the concern will only be the smell and the look

[WolfAir]

If i were you, i would strip it, bang in a bucket seat and proceed to rag the dogs b*llocks off it.
Or you could clean it and sell it.

Find the leak first - if that can be fixed easily and cheaply - sort the rest of the issues out

[Impasse]

Set fire to it. At least that would dry it out.

Hammer it into your neighbours garden

Would make a nice feature fish tank.
