Default Dead Mondeo - next steps?

Hi all,

My 2012 mondeo blew its timing belt just before its 200k service. According to the mechanic, it did a number on the engine and the valves are all bent and its a big job to replace. Its currently sitting in his yard and i was reluctantly going to organise a wrecker to come get it.

A friend who is a member on this site recommended that i post it here for ideas or even the best way to wreck it...
Car is located in Monbulk Victoria....

Thanks for your help...
Cheers,
Tim

Throw a second hand or recon engine in it or sell as is .
Unless you want to have a partly dismantled car in your yard as wreckers wont give you much for it.

Any good news on an outcome Tim?

Hopefully a cheap reco or secondhand motor comes available.

Good luck.
