Hi there,
we have a rusted to fuck ford fiesta sitting at the back of the barns, it was my older brothers car a long time ago before he wrapped it round a tree.
It has no wheels, bent in the middle, rusted everywhere, glass broken, interior is wanked (due to weather conditions) and parts of the engine are missing.
Whats the best (legal) way to dispose of the car without paying out alot of money?
thank you for your time

Will they pick it up for free?
Making money out of it would be a bonus but really we just want to get rid of it, its an eye sore on the farm

i thought getting your car picked up for the scrappy costs about 15quid, they rip it up and make money on it, not in your case by the sounds of it lol

To make money by scrapping a car you'll need to deliver it yourself. My mate collects bangers until he has a trailer full and makes a special journey.

Nope, delivered one to a dismantler once a got nothing for it, we just weight them as scrap metal now as they're actually worth something as that. Just take the wheels off.
