Getting rid of old cars

Anthony147

Seeking advice more than anything else.

We've got a Volvo C70 and a Renault megane 2 that are both off the road and taking up space in the garage.

The Renault for just over a week and the Volvo for about five years now.

In light of needing the space we'd like to send them to a good home.

The Renault needs a dephaser pulley (about 6 hours work and cambelt should be done at the same time) and i'm not sure about the Volvo (got left when I was working abroad but now not running). I can't spare time on them as my Alfa's are keeping my hands very very full.

What's the best way to get them to a new home, ideally somewhere that can take the time to put them back on the road as both are nice cars either as a runaround or a lovely motorway cruiser.

I should mention I considered Ebay but found I had to pay to list them and pay a fee even to have no reserve on them.

Thanks in advance for your useful advice.

I've had cars sitting around for years before, thinking that I'd fix them myself or they would be good for someone else, but realistically, they just lie and take up space.

I've sent 2 to Cartakeback recently, 1 left, it'll be going on Ebay first, but if no joy, it'll be going the same way.

Thanks, Seems actually pretty good - will see what reviews they have and take it from there.

Still open to other suggestions if anyone has any.

One last one, the car I've got left I'm going to attempt to list on ebay as spares under parts and accessories, hopefully saving the listing fees for a complete car.

Scots - Nice one for some reason it did not occur to me to list as anything other than whole cars!

Cheers Norman - Would be nice to see her with an enthusiast as opposed to merely scrapped
