  • What's the going rate for a scrap car?

    4 decent tyres and a radio cassette, not a staight panel on it, engine’s toast, but could possibly be made to run by a competent mechanic for long enough to sell it to a very silly person.
    Due to the nature of it’s demise, I suspect the cat’s knacered as well.

    I’ve kept the jack, tools and mats 🙂

    It’s a Daewoo Nexia.
    Been offered £80.00 if they come and pick it up, £100.00 if I can get it to them, which I can’t.

    Does this seem fair or should I hold out for a few quid more?

    Thanks in advance!

    I just got paid 80 quid for my pug 406 estate, he told me he gets 120 for them at the scrappies, given that it didnt drive I was happy. Based on weight unless its a desirable scrap model. With the greatest of respect, is the Nexia the kind of car a scrappy is going to make money on selling parts??

    this will vary with where you are in the country but in edinburgh roughly 120 to 140 less if you leave the tyres on ,if near a major english city i would expect that to rise to perhaps 150 -160

    £160 if you take it here (Ipswich), probably more if you take the tyres off.

    Hmm, might just hold out for a few quid more, there’s not many about now and spare parts cost a bomb:
    Alternators are £90.00 new, as are wiper motors.

    Don’t have the time or facilities to strip it myself, sadly.

    I honestly have no idea – they only seem to be driven by the old, unfashionable ot terminally skint, but I’m not sure whether that’s a positive or not when it comes to scrappage.

    Mind you, I paid nothing for it, so it’s not all bad news TBH. 🙂

    stick it in ebay with a really, really thorough honest description. Make the starting price the very least you’d expect to get for it as scrap. Someone will very likely buy it and take it away. And whatever they pay over the asking price is gravy.

    Weigh it in for scrap. Don’t forget to fill the tyres, fuel tank, screen wash, engine block etc with water first though!

    Oh slight derail but I’ve got about 30 kilos of scrap aluminium- motorbike bits- out the back… Any ideas what that’s worth to a scrap dealer these days? It’s all alloy, no bits of steel stuck in it.

    Maybe so, but my local scrappie scraps cars after he’s let people break them themselves. Basically just charges a bit more for parts than he’d get for weighing it in.

    Not many in Lincolnshire. Had to let them have my last one for nothing as it was the only one who would collect.
    PITA sorting DVLA paperwork too, get the yellow bit signed there and then!
