Selling SORN car
My mum recently passed away and I'm looking for the most hassle-free way to sell her car. I am now the registered keeper and it has an MOT but is SORN so I can't drive it anywhere. Any reputable companies who will buy it and collect it from my driveway for a reasonable price?

If it runs then you could tax it and then reclaim when you sell it, so you'd only pay for the one month.Similarly you can get short-term insurance.2

You can probably sell it for scrap if you just want a quick sale but you would get more if you tax it and then sell it. I don't think even the webuyanycar type places do collections. You might be able to ask a local small private dealership if they would buy it off you but again you will be getting bottom dollar for it.0

I thought Cazoo was basically closing down and didn't have any sites in Scotland any more (assuming the OP lives there)?[Deleted User] said:

They still have a massive ad campaign and are sponsoring the current snooker. I know they have had cash flow issues but no sign they are closing down at this point.0

Fair enough. I'll shut up and go away then.

I watch High Peak autos on youtube and they seem to buy a lot of cars like yours

They're based in the northwest so it might depend on where you are if they have to collect.0 -

Carwow state you state that it is SORN and dealers will collect if interested in buying the car.0

Put it on eBay, it will get its value.0
