What is an E32 worth in scrap?

[BlueMR2]

Looking at getting rid of the E32 when its replacement can be found.

It has full leather interior so was thinking about taking that out and possibly any other easily removable bits that might be worth money, then get someone else to weigh it in.

What do you think it would make?

£150/ton roughly, so nigh-on £300? If it's got a cat remove that and weigh in separately. Take the wheels off whilst there and weigh them in 'clean' (sans tyres, weights, valves, etc.). You can separate out further too if you can be bothered (battery, windings (alternator and starter) have a higher grade than a car as it's mixed).

And obviously if you rob all the easy valuable bits first you can make a fair bit. Is there anything wrong with it?

Its getting on a bit and has suffered being sat outside so is rusting on the doors etc, it has a power drain so one of the fuses needs to be pulled, it can be driven without but it stops the obc etc working, it seems the heather valves seals are stuffed so you have to leave the heater on full hot when you get out of the car otherwise it too runs the battery down and something is causing the drivers side window to keep coming of the guides, possibly bent arms.

At its current value its not really worth repairing it, it has tax and mot for a couple of months but we can claim the tax back ok.

I'd be happy to sell it in one go, but i doubt it would make as much money.
