Hello I have just messed up the axels on my car. It has to be taken away to be scrapped . I was hoping there would be car companies that would pay to take it away , the engine and all parts are fine just that the drive shaft has been pulled out. I live in newcastle

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe you should accidentally park it near a house fire.

    And maybe all the premiums increases for insurance scammers could be passed to you?

    My local car breakers will collect a car for free (but won't pay any extra). If you deliver the car, they pay around £50.

    What car is it and how old? Do you have MOT on it? As someone said always take a second or sometimes third or even fourth opinion!

    Surely youve seen hundreds of ads in your area saying 'Cash 4 Cars' and the like? They usually pay anywhere from £20 to £200 for your car. Often advertise in the local freepaper.
