    Yes it says £70 for mine and I would hope for at least a couple of hundred for it even though the mot's about to run out!

    If it's an older car try one of the specific classified sites like classiccarsforsale.co.uk which are free to advertise and more likely to get fewer time wasters.

    For an old Golf worth £500 with rust?

    Is that a classic then?

    out of interest I just entered my details to cartakeback - they offered me £45 for a car I scrapped last week for £170 on local facebook selling site - think that site might be a bit hit and miss tbh.

    The price of scrap has fallen quite a bit, and some cars aren't that heavy.

  • Thanks for all the advice guys.

    I listed it on Ebay as a classified ad. Lots of offers of asking price (and some silly offers - do you want to swap it for a 2001 brown Peugeot 1.1 and will you meet me 3 hours away from where you live? er, no!)

    Sold for £500 to trader.

    Some people fail to understand that when they buy on ebay, they are entering in to a contract.
