Just about to call the vehicle recyclers to come and take her to a better place. Is there any value in it... spent 1,200 getting it back on the road three years ago [all sorts & fresh tyres etc], brakes failed a week later... hasn't moved since, body is fresh enough. Lost the will to spend anymore on it. There's 50e of petrol in her

Is she just good for recycling?

Probably no value in it unless you can get it started. Might be worth while putting it on Donedeal for €300 or so. Scrap value is around €100

Cheers, I'd be happy with €100... she'll start ok, have lit her from time to time and battery is kept topped up. Dumb question - I presumed the recyclers pay nothing, can I sell to a scrapper and get end of life cert / whatever.

This crowd issue end of life certs and collect the car from your house, they usually offer €100 or so if you live in Dublin: https://www.cartakeback.ie/

I was going to get an 05 Nissan Almera scraped a few weeks ago but decided to put it on Donedeal for the day, it had no tax or nct but it sold a few hours later for €300. Might as well try it yourself before getting it scraped
