• Any recommendations of how to scrap a car?

    Was due to take it (2007 VW touran, with 207k on the clock) to we buy any car this morning but a flat battery/knackered starter motor means it still sat on the street outside our house.

    Is it just a case of ringing a local scrap yard?

  • It is usually as easy as a phone call. You could try gumtree etc if you could be bothered to sell it on.

  • 207k

    Impressive

  • I scrapped a car recently and it was a non runner. Got just over £300 for a 52 plate Astra, they just paid a price per tonne.

    Did online price comparison for local scrap dealers and then called the one with the best quote. Dead easy.

  • Similar experience to @Cazakstan, 54 plate Fiat Panda, failed MOT and no economical to fix. Stuck it on eBay with no reserve and someone came with a flatbed and took it away leaving me with £300. Got tons of messages asking me to take the listing down for cash.

    I used scrapmycar.com (a.k.a. Redcorn Ltd).

    Hassle free. Got ~£250 for a Y reg (2001) Citroen Saxo 1.1 that wasn't going to pass its next MOT. They came at the designated time and took it away on a flatbed truck.
