    A breakers yard unless it is worth the outlay to repair and then make you more cash in the long run.

    Depends what kind of car it is. If it's a rusty Ka with engine problems, get on to your local breaker, anything else, gumtree/autotrader/owners forums depending on value and rarity.

    Ebay as spares or repairs, if its an old 3 door one then one of the stock car boys may take it or if it drives, take it to a scrapy and get £100 ish for it and refund the tax.

    List as spares or repairs in the title. Classified advert for 30 days, £14.99 no finial value fees and no messing around, at a reasonable amount or offers.

    Check how much a working one will go for and price yours accordingly. Scrap value will be around £100.
