This seems to be the car thread - hope I'm not derailing it with my request for advice, but it's a quick one!
Our old family banger has just failed it's MOT. It's a pretty ropey VW Golf 1.6 from 2000. Only 70,000 odd miles on the clock, but old in every other way.
Whats the best bet for maximising scrappage / sale. It still runs fine, it's just got a very long list of things wrong with it (tyres/airbag light/various electrics/ suspension stuff/ handbrake and more I think) and would be worth £500 ish if it passed I reckon.
Just scrap, or do people buy the "runners" for a little more?
