Scrap it or try and sell it?

j2011

I am buying a new, to me, car and was wondering what to do with my knackered 1995 Micra.

It has 2 months left on the MOT and is taxed till end of Sept 2011.

It is extremely unlikely that it will pass its MOT without some money being spent on it as it needs new disks, scored, were marginal last year, handbrake keeps jamming and cable starting to fray and various other things wrong with it.

Corroded brake pipes and needing new sills, tyres etc.

Carpets wet with water getting in somewhere.

Also various dents and scratches.

You get the idea.

I've had it for 11 years and OH wants a change.

Should I even try to sell it or just take it to the nearest scrap yard minus its tax disk off course?

I'd lay it to rest. You've had your moneys worth out of it and its got death rot setting in by the sounds of it. You'd struggle to sell it.

Depends how bad it really is. We had someone on here recently spending hundreds on a Fiesta in a pretty sorry state bodywork-wise. Tyres, brake pipes and discs are standard fixes at this age (and such parts are dirt-cheap on these little cars).

If it's fundamentally safe, someone will give you £200 for it, possibly more, on ebay. If it's mechanically sound, it could end up being a decent little learner's car if bought by someone who is handy. Nissans of this era generally keep hauling themselves along when little more than a festering pile of rust.

If course it could be a wreck for all we know. No telling without seeing.

You will definatly sell it for £150-£200 probably more. Someone will snap it up with 2 months MOT and Tax till September (Tax is worth £50+). Advertise it in local paper or newsagents.

I must say the joke was good though "try we buy anycar" brilliant!!

Put it on ebay. Your bound to find someone who is fixated about Nissan reliability and will ignore the dodgy headlights and rotten front crossmember!

Try part exchanging it with a garage someone might take it in return for buying a car off them
