Best place to sell scrap cars.

Have a couple of scrap cars lying about the place,

00 Golf 5 dr 1.4 petrol,

01 Suzuki 3dr Vitara 2.0 petrol,

06 Seat Ibiza 5dr 1.2 petrol

All complete cars but non runners as not economical to put them back on the road. No NCT, Tax etc. but have the tax books for them all.

What's the best option to get rid of them and possibly get a few quid in the deal?

I have contacted a local scrap yard, but he seems uninterested.

Thanks @User1998 👍

They do online quotes, with a reg and an Eircode... fairly decent prices too.

Have you dealt with them yourself? How did you find them etc.?

I presume they cover the whole country?

How do they value scrap cars is it by manufacturers listed weight?

Yeah I dealt with them over the phone but I think I ended up selling the car instead. They were good to deal with regardless and well recommended on here. Not sure of the areas they cover or how they calculate the scrap value to be honest

That 00 golf might be worth a few quid more than scrap value. I'd throw it up on Facebook marketplace if it was mine

What about that e8,500 scrappage scheme can they be sold to someone to trade against a new yoke

Definitely scrap value if its a non runner

MojoMaker

The good news is scrap value is a bit higher than it was 10 years ago. Should be able to get 250 per non-runner I would have throught? Maybe slightly less if they have to come and lift from your residence of course.

Those Golfs back then with the 1.4 petrol were shocking back so definitely scrap now.

They're not parked in the underground car park of your apartment complex, by any chance? 👀

Heard back from the local scrap yard, yer man said he will basically come and collect the cars for free, but will not be paying me anything.

Might contact 'Car take back' as recommended by @User1998 or maybe the metal recycling company here in Galway... 'Galway Metals'. But not sure if they will take a car that hasn't been stripped down to just its metal bits.

To answer @enricoh , no all three would be past economical repair....and I'm a bangernomics kinda guy soo wouldn't even dream of scrappage scheme and buyind a new EV.

No they need to own the car for a year or more and have a valid NCT, tax and insurance to qualify for the scheme.

Put an ad on donedeal before you get the scrapper. Somebody out there might be looking for parts. If the vitara is 4x4 it may find a buyer.

enricoh

Yeah, f@ck that - collect 3 cars at one address n wants them for free. Try a few more crowds

Ca take back offered me 250 euro for Skoda Roomster, I agreed and they arranged Hammond Lane scrapyard in Athlone to collect it. They did and paid me there and then.

I used carTakeBack twice in the last few years. About two and half years ago they paid be €300 for a non running 08 Astra and earlier this year they paid my Mam €250 for her running 10 Astra, but it had a laundry list of NCT items. Both ended up in Hammond lane in Athlone. Mine was collected from my house and my Mams was collected from a business park.

Handed the cash on collection and the certifcate of destruction came in the post a few days latter. Was very happy with the process, I excpected to have to pay for someone to collect my car!

Try Connaught 4x4 spares…mostly jeeps but they took a car off me a few years ago. Think they gave me 150 and collected it.
