There is at least 3 dedicated 306 breakers I can think of along with more than a couple of people that break them in their spare time when one comes up cheap.
Realistically the ability to make money on them has died in the last couple of years as the ownership of them (and thus the number of people to sell to) and the price of scrap (to get rid of anything you don't sell) have both nose dived.
It's only a couple hundred quid difference between a decent profit and a loss on a 306 but if you get a £300 GTi6 or late HDi you can make money on it.
If you want to make money you need to be looking at stuff about 10 years old where they are starting to turn up for a few hundred with very minor problems and stuff that's really common but the top spec/fast versions. Think top diesel focus or V6 vectra or mondeo, probably good money in the pug 407 to break as they like going wrong, are expensive to repair after a crash and like going wrong.
