get rid of old car

So you've got an old heap that's more rust than ride and you want it gone—smart move. You could sell it privately on CarShowroom or Tradingpost, but don't expect a fortune unless it’s a classic or rare beast. Alternatively, a scrap yard will happily pay you for the metal, often a few hundred bucks depending on weight and metal prices. Some councils also offer car removal services, which can be free if the car is deemed unroadworthy. Just make sure to cancel the registration and notify the authorities to avoid any future headaches.
