Fuel Prices Fall - Sell Your Guzzler Today Wigan

Diesel Drops To 97.7p Per Litre

Diesel prices at the supermarket giant, Asda, dropped to 97.7p per litre today. Wigan today reported that ‘Oil prices have fallen by 30% since early December, with Brent crude sinking to less than 27 US dollars a barrel earlier this week.’ This means that driving has never been cheaper. The Independent even reported that if oil prices continue to tumble, during the course of 2016, petrol and diesel could cost less that 90p per litre. It said ‘The AA has estimated it could fall to as low as 89.9p per litre with a combination of increased supply in oil producing countries and supermarkets competing to attract customers into their stores with cheaper fuel.’

 With that in mind, have you thought about getting rid of your fuel guzzling motor? Older cars are prone to burn through more fuel, as older engines take more fuel to produce the energy that they need. However, newer cars are always better on fuel consumption. So if you have been thinking about upgrading your car, why not sell you old one to us.

BMW | New 7 Series Revealed

New 7 Series Revealed

BMW have mistakenly released the first pictures of the 2016 7 series. The car was revealed on the Austrian website for the German firm, on the online configurator. Jalopnik, the automotive blog said ‘The 7 series has two new turbocharged 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder engines in diesel and not diesel varieties. There’s also the option of the 750i Xdrive using a twin-turbocharged 4.4 litre V8 with 444bhp.’

Mistake by Austrian BMW Website

Images of the car were not supposed to be released until the 10th June, but enthusiasts have got the chance to see it early. Are you a BMW fan? Would you upgrade to the brand new 7 series? We certainly would, if the pictures are anything to go by.

Known for being one of the leading luxury car brands in the world, the new 7 series will be priced between £73’000 and £100’000. Autocar.co.uk said ‘Prior to the leak on the Austrian site, BMW had only shown a teaser video of the car. The video showed the profile of the car, but only offered glimpses of the rest of the new 7 Series.’

Car Theft Plot Foiled In Manchester

Car Theft Plot Foiled In Manchester

Is your car really safe? The Manchester Evening News has reported today that a large scale car theft operation has been foiled at Cheetham Hill’s Manchester Fort retail park. The sophisticated plan was ruined when the blocking signal, used to disable the cars locking systems, therefore rendering the cars open and accessible, actually did the opposite of what it was meant to and set off hundreds of car alarms.

The Manchester Evening News said ‘the red-faced thieves did not realise the extent of their illegal device’s powers, and ended up highlighting what was going on by setting off dozens of car alarms in the Cheetham Hill retail park.’ You can see the video taken by one of the shoppers whose car was targeted on the MEN website.


This is a new and sophisticated way in which to target many cars in one fell swoop and ‘The technology can be obtained for as little as £50 from organised crime gangs. Electronic intervention methods are believed to be responsible for a high percentage of all vehicle thefts.’

The Reason For The Fall In The Price of Scrap Metal

There’s no denying the fact that the price of scrap metal has fallen dramatically over the past year. The Scrap Price Bulletin have reported that the price of scrap metal in February is at its lowest since 2009. ‘Views that the February market could be down as much as 10-15 per cent began circulating before January sales were in the books’ (www.scrappricebulletin.com) Our industry will fall in line with the rest of the world, and other industries and stock exchanges have a direct effect on the price of scrap.

Price of Oil Affecting The Price of Scrap

‘The drop in oil prices since the third quarter of last year is one of those good news, bad new events for the domestic ferrous scrap industry. Weaker crude oil prices globally have added significant downward pressure on the scrap industry.’ Europe, the US, Asia and European markets each affect the scrap industry. And therefore if one area of industry is seeing decline, it will directly affect the rest. China has seen a massive amount of growth over the past few years, however it has stabilised now. And due to a bad few years in the Eurozone, Europe will now demand less exports. War in Asia has also had a small effect on trade.

Sucden Financial said ‘Still, lower oil prices and weaker commodity currencies will lower the marginal costs levels so support levels may shift lower too. Even so, the projected surplus is not that large, especially given that supply disruptions are an ever-present feature in the copper market and that China - as a net buyer - may well be prepared to increase its strategic purchases, all the more so if prices approach the marginal costs of production.’


And as it filters down from the London Metal Exchange, each and every scrap metal buyer and trader is affected. And unfortunately predictions and forecasts all say the same thing, the price of scrap metal will fall dramatically again before getting better. For a short period in January we saw a slight rise in the price of scrap metal, however, for now it looks like it is in free-fall.

Call Us To Sell Some Scrap Metal

We are a leading scrap metal buyer in the North West, and although the price of scrap has fallen and is to carry on falling, we will always pay you the very highest prices that we possibly can. We want you to come back to us again and again when you want to sell some scrap metal, and trust that we will always give you a fair price. What’s more, as soon as the price of scrap has gone up, when we know, you’ll know.

A Fall In Scrap Metal Bolton Theft

There have been so many instances of the new scrap metal law working to full effect. The statistics show that there has been a significant decrease in scrap metal theft since the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The Office For National Statistics show that the number of scrap metal thefts, in the years 2012/13 was 57,983 and after the Act was introduced on the 1st October 2013, the years 2013/14 it had fell to 38,018.

Around the country there have been reports of investigations, such as Operation Rhonda. As well as many dodgy scrap metal dealers getting caught in the act, exchanging stolen metal or accepting metal and paying cash for it. What’s more, some people have been found to be operating without a licence.

Danny Smith was driving his Mercedes CLK down Manchester Road in Whitefield when a car rear-ended his vehicle, causing £4000 worth of damage, and drove away from the scene of the crime. However, just hours later, the driver appeared again in the damaged car on Deansgate in Manchester City Centre, when miraculously Mr Smith was.

The Peugeot 206 that the drunk driver was driving had been badly damaged on its front end. And once Mr Smith saw the car, he immediately confronted the driver, stopping her from driving off once again, by placing his hands on the bonnet and positioning himself in front of the car. The driver has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and bailed until the 25th November.
