MOT failure - sell?

scrap is 25 pounds a ton at present

Put it on Ebay emphasising the good mechanics and that it's for spares only.

You could bung it on the website below - but be sure to mention a rough=20 location of where the car is .

As for price your probably looking at =A320-=A330 max .

The only way you are going to make any money on it is of you know somwone who needs the engine, but make sure the car gets properly signed over to him, then the disposal of the rest is his problem.

Probably not. We are currently charging £25 to dispose of a car if we have to collect it. Not sure what happens if someone drives one in, we probably wouldn't charge, but we certainly wouldn't pay for it.

Put it in the "Bedrock Evening News" small ads. They like cars without floors ;-) !!! Get a scrappy to take it if you can..... most now charge to take em away..... E-bay buyer may give you a few pounds as previously stated...... Especially if someone is refurbishing an XR3 or the likes.

TMS in Telford /give/ around that when they collect.

Saw 2 XR3i cabriolet bodyshells at Albert Looms in Derby at weekend.

tend to shift cars that are under 15/20 years old to the crusherquite quickly. They have space to allow older stuff to be kept untilit has been well stripped. Nothing is stacked until it is 1ft high. What a scrappy pays or charges depends on where you are in the country. Many southern scrappies could be out of business soon as they are on too small a site to make it economic to make the changes that are required.

Don't try and scrap a car in Aberystwyth, Wales. The nearest scrappy is about 30 miles away in some godforsaken village and since they have a near monopoly in the area (no one else nearer, and council doesn't do it), they can get away with charging 80 quid to collect scrap cars :(

Bloody hell, I'll remember that should the need ever arise!

Saw a couple of adverts in this weeks free ads (Yorkshire) with offers of £20.00 payment for any car needing taking away.

Pays to shop around!

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Dan saying something like:

Aren't there any piers nearby?

I got £25 for driving my cav to the scrappies in Morley (near Leeds). They knocked off £2 per tire, and would have knocked off £5 if I left the battery in (it is only 1 year old, so I kept it).

To bring you all up-to-date. I rang around the 4 nearest dismantlers/breakers, and their offers ranged from a maximum of £40 to me, down to me having to pay them £25, (in each case assuming I drove the car to them). In the event the guy (Sierra Spares Aldershot) who had quoted the best deal denied it when I arrived - saying he didn't pay to receive any car - running or not! I took the car to the next best offer (Aldershot Car Spares) - £27 per tonne:; they weighed it and I received £24.60 cash in hand. All very professional, official receipt, V5 transfer signed and all. I'm content to see the 'old faithful in their hands - whether they crush it as it stands or dismantle it first. Saga now over! Now about to buy a replacement...! New saga!

My girlfriend advertised her heap of an Orion in Loot (free adverts) and amazingly someone paid her £50 for it and she's had several more phone calls since from other potential purchasers. She was completely honest in the advert, stating it drove OK, but had a serious rust problem and no MOT.
