scrap car value

[shouldbeinbed]

I got £100 scrap value collected for a N plate VW Golf that was very much a non runner, end of 2013.

Find out if they really will 'buy any car' dot com.

We Buy Any Car offered me less than the scrap value for my car (then about £100) and it still had several months MOT. They should be called 'We Buy Any Car At A Ridiculous Price'.

stick it on eBay listing for £200 and be specific about everything. Have it as spares or repairs and state Ono. Will probably go for less but you will get interest and the listings cost aroun £14 I think. Do it as a listing though and not auction and stick your mobile on there. Took me about an hour to get my first call when I sold my corsa last year.

we dabble in scrap cars at work - You would be better off posting up as spares and repairs, youll get one of two types of buyer wanting it, a breaker (like we do) who only wants it to take all the good bits off it and then scrap or sell the shell etc making a bit of a profit or a 17 year old who will want to put a 2.0 turbo engine into it. Theyre a boy racers car and corsas always sell quick.
Scrap is around £75-£80 a ton at the moment and with selling as spares/repairs you wont have to worry about getting it there etc, just make it clear in your listing they'll need a trailer or a dolly to shift it.

Fill the petrol tank and engine with water, and tow it to the scrappie for weighing in.

Wouldn't that be a bit dishonest?

when our ford mondeo failed it's MOT at about 13 year old or so on grounds of the rear suspension starting to go with jut over 215,000 genuine miles on the clock and never had any engine or gear box problems etc so all original so we drove her down the local car scrappy and they gave us £200. it was running perfectly and the gearbox was great just the rear suspension (still original) was starting to go

Oh, you are supposed to tell them what you've done.

Plenty of groups on Facebook for selling cheap cars. Worth a punt.
