List it as spares or repair on ebay, you WILL get more than a scrap man will give you.

Scrap wise you will get £100 - £120 for a small hatchback (106 size).

Ebay will see you with £200 no problems if you word your advert carefully and start it at 99p wink

Don't forget £30 fees. For such a small difference I would just scrap, so much easier.

Fill your scrap car with money and it will be worth a fortune.

Even with the fees you will be in profit over scrap prices.

I am on Ebay pretty much constantly looking for spares or repair cars. Maybe its the area I am in but generally cars that 'should' be scrap are going for north of £200.

There are MK1 Mondeos going for £300 that are completely shafted rolleyes
