My 1994 Toyota Estima Emina diseasel auto 4wd with aircon & bells & whistles has reached end of the road (turbo shot, not worth repair). I can get £150 from the breakers. Is it likely to fetch more sold for breaking and if so where: autotrader, ebay, one of the import car forums or what?
FWIW it's in Reading, and its MOT is good till about June.
If you break it yourself you've still the residual scrap to dispose of.
if it will drive someone home it's gotta be worth a punt on ebay for a week? tell the punters your reserve (above the scrap price which you can get "anytime") and why - wait and see... altho from experience there will probly be a certain "unwashed" aspect to some enquiries/offers...

... altho from experience there
I don't recall ever selling a car without receiving a couple of phone calls asking if I can drive it to Bradford for the prospective buyer to have a look at the car.
can't be too careful these days mate innit?
i was initially amazed by the number and level of "cash offers with associated tall stories" being made to me (for a perfectly good 02 Toy corolla), by mobile phone or ebay message, all with crp feedback, all with no paypal account (cash so no need innit?). I turned them all down on the basis that if they couldn;t be bothered to even come and look at the car, then they would probly turn out to be drug money launderers or tyre kickers...goold ole little britain :>((

Toyota Estima Forum:
You clear out what you can, then the scrap men will still come and collect the shell as scrap prices are still quite good and it's a heavy car.
