I have a 2007 Merc A class diesel. Some rust spots, plenty of corrosion underneath, new-ish tyres, generally not great nick. MOT expires on the 18th jan. Service is currently due. I have one last journey to make in it on the 13th. Full service history (except for the latest one that is overdue).
I don't intend to service or MOT it myself so I want rid of it after that last trip, which gives me 4 days, one of which is a Sunday.
What's the best way? I'm not expecting to get any significant amount of cash, but a couple of hundred would come in handy, but lets face it I'm saving a whole lot by not putting it through service/MOT. Also it has to go because later this year I'll be inside the ULEZ and it will cost £12.50 just to take it off the drive. So it has to go.
Webuyanycar value it at a few hundred but that's contingent on it having 6 months MOT. I expect if I go with them they'll suck their teeth, look at it, and offer me next to nothing, which to be honest is OK with me provided I can get it over with quickly.
Rewardrecycling/autogreen are offering £71 to scrap it. That seems a bit drastic as I don't know if it's ready to be scrapped but I doubt they would drop their price, unlike webuyanycar who certainly will.
Any thoughts?
