Getting Rid Of A Car

[Hauser's-Helmet]

S reg Vectra, only did 70k and is nee bother really apart from the brakes need looking at, anyway our lass has it in her mind she wants rid.
Where's the best place to get rid of it and how much can I expect Scrap value ?

[rokerman]

Pistonheads
Ebay
Autotrader (free adverts for under a grand I think).

Don't scrap it. Someone somewhere will have it. Replacing the brakes is nothing.

About £50 if you're lucky.

I would try selling it on ebay or use it in a minimum trade-in.

Dont be silly, you'd get a few quid for that with only 70k on the clock, as long as the body work is pretty sound that's a canny run about for anyone.

Autotrader gives free adverts for cars under a certain value i think, also try pistonheads, or even ebay.

Aye but I will end up with nuggets coming round and haggling and that.
Cannit be arsed with it to be honest.

MOT is due tomorrow, Better off getting that sorted before selling?

If you're just desperate to be rid of it the take it to We Buy Any Car.

They really will give you a rock bottom price though, so you may well be better off selling it for scrap.

You will get about £90 scrap if you can actually drive it to the yard, but for that age and mileage you will be daft to.

Sell it with the brakes needing doing on ebay with a low start price, or in Autotrader cheapie section, or get the brakes done and sell it properly.

Haven't looked at values like but if it's in good nick with a years mot and at that age and mileage then you'll get a decent price for it.

My mate did the brakes on my vectra, four new discs and pads, we bought them over the trade counter and did it ourselves, only cost about £90.

Depends if it fails or not.
