Scrapping a car with V5C changeover & plate retentions.

I had.

But honestly, the timewasters on FM, I just don't have the time for.

And if i got anything over scrap value then it'd only be perhaps £100 tops.

Just ignore the ones who message with just a £figure and only reply to the folk who strike up a convo about the car.

Is it still taxed and have a current MOT?
Have you read the rules for retention?
You must have your V778 and new log book before you scrap or sell your vehicle - otherwise you’ll lose the right to use the private number.

Eligibility

The vehicle must:

• be registered with DVLA in the UK
• be able to move under its own power
• be of a type that needs an MOT or heavy goods vehicle (HGV) test certificate
• have been taxed or had a SORN in place continuously for the past 5 years
• be taxed currently (or have a SORN in place - if it’s had a SORN for more than 5 years, it must be taxed)
• be available for inspection

Don't worry, I put it on retention last night.

And Lee, I think I've had the whole range of FM clowns. Obscenely low offers where you're basically paying them to take it, people who ask if it's still for sale and you don't hear from them again, people who ask and then ask again in a month's time and then another month after that, people who will 'definitely' come get it this Saturday at 10am who you never hear from again.

If there's no timeframe then there's no problem really but I need to get this gone soon. Relative got £200 for his so I'd be happy with something near that. Car was only worth about £400 tops when it was fully functional.
