Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Daf dealership Watts is busy purchasing old 85 Series tractors and breaking them for spares, which are then recycled and sold.

"We've been buying 1995/96 vintage 85s for L-I,500 to 12,500 each," says used truck sales manager Mike Curtis. There are plenty of time-served 85s around, he points out, and they're often worth more in pieces than they are intact.

The dealership's parts department controls the recycling venture, which is based at the firm's Worcester branch. It has depots at Gloucester z Hereford too, and the re cled components are be marketed nationwide.

Curtis stresses that sz of new parts aren't affect Turning to the used nr ket, Curtis says that pri of new and late-registe used vehicles remain cl to one another, so thinking of stocking selection of slightly ol trucks.

The 95XF still rema hugely popular among u buyers. Curtis reckons I is due partly to the mar influence of drivers.
