>>A *full* years ticket will *easily* sell for 250 quid.
It was true to say years ago an MOT was worth £500,£250- 10 years ago.
On a car that age now, its cheaper to scrap it and try for a scrappy that will take free of charge.
Not easy to find in my area,and will probably be more trouble than its worth advertising it for spares or repair,I now cannot find anyone that will take away FOC,minimum charge appears to be around £40/50.
You have to bear in mind when a car is scraped it has to be stripped down of all oils,plastics,and costs them money in doing so.
If you can sell it, I wish you luck in doing so,But would be surprised if you do!.
let us know if you do sell,

I would get an MOT and then put it on ebay. It amazes me what prices some things make. I think people get carried away in auctions and lose their sense of reason.

I agree with Xileno. If its not going to take much to get a years ticket on it, do that and put it on ebay. Test should cost no more than £35 and will be less than a tenner to insert on ebay. If you only got £150 for it (but I reckon you'd get more) you've made a hundred quid which I wouldn't say no to. By the way, it could be purely coincidence but whenever I've sold anything on ebay it always seems to fetch the most if you time it so the auction ends on a Saturday evening. I assume there are more people looking at their PC's during the weekend than mid-week during the day.

I've found saturdays to be poor for selling as most people are out and about doing other things - sunday night is when everyone is sat at home on the PC. Place the ad on a thursday night and run it for the full 10 days - gets two weekends worth of viewers then so hopefully it should attract a wider range of bidders.

After the footie and Corrers always seem to e busy time..
|
I time my ebay sales to end at 8.30 pm on Sundays. Never fails.
Even a C reg Polo will fetch £175 with 12 Months MoT I'd wager. Just so long as it's not at Lands End, J'OG's etc. If you are in/close to a big city it'll fly.
I sold a 94 1.6 Tipo with three months ticket and no RFL for £115.

Many thanks for all the reeplies. I perhaps should have said, it does have 6 weeks MOT left. Following your advice, I'm going to try selling it as it is by advertising it at work, in the supermarket etc. I've nothing to lose really!
Regards
