Current scrap prices? - Haywain

I'm currently trying to decide whether to scrap the old Mondeo or put it on e-bay. Around 4 years ago, after being offered £35 scrap for an old Fiesta, we sold it for £155 on e-bay. The Mondeo is MoTd until mid-June and is taxed to the end of August - so it's got to be worth £130?

Does anyone have any information about current scrap prices? I guess this too would have been affected by the infernal scrappage scheme.

Cheers

If you mean scrap/sell it now with that tax/mot it has to be ebay. Folks often pay well over the odds for bottom priced motors on there.

Sorry, yes, my bottom line value of £130 was based on about £50 scrap (complete guess) and about £80 still on the tax disc.

For steel, I'd believe it, but not for a car driven in. It was "only" £100/car at the high point a year and a half ago, IIRC.

The price changes daily depending on supply and demand i got £180 a tonne on the bridge for cars i weighed in last year at one point and later in the year it was £62
Many years ago it was always £40 a tonne which is why cars always went in with a full tank of water and the engines brimmed with old oil

eBay.

And sell it without the tax but with the option for the buyer to buy the tax on top.
