For this I wouldn't buy from the breaker yard, I would look into buying MOT failures that would take to much money to pass MOT. Offer to buy these at a price that you will be able to make money at. I don't know what the scrap prices are there in the UK but I would offer 100-200 quid based on the vehicle and useable parts that are left on it. Breakers are going to do the same thing that you are talking about and if they are going to sell a whole car then they are going to make sure that they make all of their money that they would have made if they parted the car out themselves. When you bring back a shell of a vehicle they will not give you anything close to what you paid for it weather they sell it to you for a set price per vehicle by the lb or by the kilo. Get to know some of the MOT garages in your area let them know that you are looking for MOT failures, that way when they have a customer that has one that didn't pass they can give them your number. Oh and welcome to the forum. hope this helps.
