motorwise.com car scrapping advice

[Deleted User]

I'm wanting to sell/scrap my knackered Pug 206.

Cartakeback.com are offering a pitfull £95 collected but after googling a few other car recyclers, I came accross motorwise.com who are offering £129 collected.

Anyone used them before, how did payment go?

I tried advertising on Gumtree for £150 but just kept get silly offers by email from people who hadn't even viewed the car. I thought about eBay too but the £30 fees are putting me off for such a low value car.

Phone the local scrappy?

Ebay maybe expensive but plenty of potential buyers. Whats actually wrong with it?
Tax and MOT expired?

I've just used Motorwise to scrap my old Prelude.

As described on the site, they put you in touch with a not-necessarily-local scrapyard (or, er, car-recycler).

In my case they were 50 miles away but they had a car-transporter doing collections in my area, so no difference to me.

Picked up within 3 days, when they said they would, and have paid 3 days later by bank-transfer as per my selected option.

Interestingly, I've just been emailed the Certificate of Destruction.... by cartakeback.com!
