Scrapped cars MEGATHREAD - No buying or selling

[rudds1 102]

When I asked about 2 weeks ago price was around £90 a ton for cars

[speleo1 10]

they gave my son in laws mother £70 for her scrap honda car they came and collected so i think they deducted some of,the car had not been run for nearly 20 years flat tyres etc,he pumped the tyres up put a battery on it and the car started up,he looked to see how much petrol was in it, then he drove it to the scrapyard at wincobank,

I have the shell of a Micra in S17. Just wanting rid of it, not expecting to get any cash for it. Anyone aware of anyone who'd come and take it?

How much for a 2002 peugeot 206, the reward recycling offered me only 15.00!

Scrap is shocking at the moment , I used our own car to show a customer how bad it is , for a 7 seater Zafira last week I was offered £7.04 !!!! I've been advising to try selling on e bay as spares or repairs at the moment rather than scrap

Was that price fora full car as well or just a shell?

[feebs 10]

That's for our fully functioning own car !!! Shocking !!

Yea that is kinda low, but not unheard of, the price/value of iron is 1/5 what it used to be.

 

I think it's well under 50 a ton now for scrap metal, obviously cars need decontamination and a certificate issuing, they're full of plastic and crap as well so with the time and labour involved there's very little money there.

I've just rung a scrap yard up and they have told me it£45 a ton for cars .

You can not drive your car even to a scrap yard with out insurance or tax ,you could tow it in and get round it that way
