    Hi guys,
    Sorry didn't know where to go with this one. I need to scrap a car that cannot be fixed. It's an 97 mazda 121 which is same as a Ford fiesta. Still useful for parts as there are still quite a few on thye roads. Is there any way I can get some money out of it as I spent a good 500euro on it before I was told that she'll never drive again.

    Any help appreciated.
    Ciaran

    You'll probably get very little or might even have to pay to get it scrapped, it is as you said a Ford Fiesta and as such there are loads of them in scrap yards already, so scrappies are unlikely to be very interested I'm afraid.

    What is wrong with it that it can't be driven again?

    Those cars are normally quite tough so I am surprised that it is undrivable after only 13 years.

    Well it is actually running fine but rust set in underneath and the frame of the car is rotting. Might have been a factory flaw as it is unusual. So it will not pass the NCT. Just need to get rid of it. Must be some way to do so.
    Thanks for the reply
