Scrapped cars MEGATHREAD - No buying or selling

[rudds1 102]

Are there any scrapyards that will actually GIVE you money for a car instead of charging you to take it away?

 

Probley not if they having to collect it as valve of scrap is so low .cant you tow it in to a scrap yard ? Even then don't expect loads for it .have you tried eBay etc you might get a better price

Hello.

 

My car is currently in Killamarsh, it won't drive. What's the best place to sell it for scrap? It will need towing (from Killamarsh).

 

Also, what's the scrap value? It's a 2005 Peugeot 1007.

 

Many thanks.

The value is sod all, you'll probably have to pay to get it removed.

 

Sling it on eBay, you might get 100 quid and have it towed for free.

As said already, stick it on Ebay with the faults listed and a 99p start. You'll get far more than a scrapyard will pay.

 

What's up with it anyway

Thanks mate. Yeah, the guy who was come and collect it for scrap, fell through.

 

I'm very tempted to list on eBay. How does it work? Start it off at 99p? Cash on collection?

 

EDIT:

 

Listing on eBay then! Looks like a £10 insertion fee, and 1% (minimum £25) final valuation fee. Hopefully get £190 plus; is that doable, given it's a non-runner with a dud ECU?

Yea roughly, although you'll need to make a point it's a non-runner, won't start and will need to be towed.

 

You just know some total idiot will win it and try to get it started on your driveway before paying you.

Cheers mate.

 

Yeah, had a look at some of the other listings. Just surprised at the eBay fees!

Have you tried Gumtree??

Have you tried Gumtree??

 

Nope. Is it cheaper to list with them? Imagine they're not as popular as eBay though. What do you think?

I believe gumtree is free

[geared 317]

Yea I think GumTree is free, or you get a couple of free ad's per month?

 

It's actually pretty popular, got it's own app and everything and there's alot of cars on there - probably because it's free to advertise.
