What's the latest deal with scrappies? Have a car which drives and is MOTd etc but easiest scrapped - if I can drive it to the scrappy, can I expect to get some money, and if so roughly how much?

Phone around your local scrap yards, see what they offer you. You may need to take a wheel brace with you to remove the wheels and tyres (they don't want tyres) and take them away with you to get the best price,.

Last few times I looked at off loading at a car scrappy they were only interested if you gave them the car for nothing. I ended up getting an account at the scrap metal place and getting scrap value.

Bit of research would suggest approx £80/ton so £70 or so.
www.cartakeback.com offered to collect and pay £81 so likely to pursue that avenue
