Hi all, need some advice here. noone in my family has ever drove a vehicle until 10 yrs up so very unsure. My bro's kangoo van 10 years up in one week. so what happens? He is definately giving up driving so confirm wont be renewing COE plus the van has some probs, the worst is a leaking radiator tank.

He asked around and scrap value if $300.

Here comes the noob question. You think in this market, any dealers will want to buy? Is there any way to milk out more than $300 from this?

thanks. noob rite? I told you...

u already know the answer

10 yr = no coe/no parf left, just body value

renault vans are notoriously unreliable and dont expect anyone to want them past 10 yrs

other brands like cit/pug/vw still got chance, cit/pug being easiest cos of cheapest parts and easy maintenance

jap ones like urvan/hiace well liked cos super reliable

10 yr ago kangoo only high 30s, thats 3.5-4k depreciation a yr
just let it go to heaven

I own 2 2006 Peugeot partners and they are really my trusty steed!! One recently broke down due to faulty starter. Otherwise they are impressively reliable .... But noisy
