Scrap or sell?

I have a Ford Ka special edition 2001 (X) reg. I have been told that the suspension and the clutch needs doing. Also there is a bump on the boot lid and the drivers window does not work, repairs would cost around £1000. Do I scrap it or try and sell it as it is?

It's worth buttons, but still might be saleable as a project car to a kid with some mechanical aptitude. Just be completely upfront and honest about what's wrong with it and you might get £400 rather than buttons as a scrapper.
