Scrap it or try and sell it?

I weighed in a Daewoo Nubira Estate a couple of weeks back and with a few old radiators in I got £200 for it.

The going rate at my local scrap yard is £130/ton for cars (more for just metal)

Blimey, the ones around our way wouldn't put their hands in their pockets for something like that.

£200/car around here,...

THE PRICE OF SCRAP IS ON A HIGH AT THE MOMENT, ITS EASIER TO WEIGH IT IN THAN TRY AND SELL IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY NON-FERROUS METALS TO WEIGH IN THEN YOU ARE ONTO A WINNER, EG COPPER IS ABOUT £3500 PER TON;)

I emailed my local scrappy and got this back

It would be worth £150.00 delivered to our yard

considering the last time I scrapped a car I got nothing for it, so that is where it is going.

A few months ago, I got £130, for a banger. They don't care about condition all cars are virtually the same to them.

The scrappies buy them from auction up to £250 with the sole intent of scrapping them. Of course they don't usually pay Joe Bloggs that amount if they can get away with £100+
