Car scrapping
Anyone know the going rate for a scrapper? My '96 Micra is past it's best to put it mildly and although it could scrape through the MOT at
my friendly MOT place I really can't be bothered. I never use it anymore and it's shagged. The bodywork is dented, the interior looks like
somethings died in it, the clutch is going, the engine's done 100k, the brakes are rusted to buggery and back. It's time for it to be
transformed into some rebar to prop up a building in China or India.
What's the going rate?
Lots of scrappers round here are trying to tell me they're doing me a favour by collecting it for free  There isn't a scrapy yard near
here otherwise I'd take it to them to be weighed in....

Or as a salesman would say, 'a well loved example of the marque'

I was tempted to take it there cos I fly r/c planes on the scrubs. Only issue is it's got no MOT and no tax and I'm not sure driving the
car to it's maker has an exemption

£150 a ton around here, with about £20 charge to collect if. So probably around £140 for the car, £120 if you need them to collect.
I may be interested in it for autotesting though - how dire is it?

Oh it's really quite dire. Clutch needs replacing in a big way, suspension is so soft it's unreal and the brakes are rusted. Apart from
that it's in great shape
