Scrap metal car
My son wants to sell his car, but just in case no-one wants it, I was wondering how much he'd get for it as scrap metal. Does anyone how much they're paying these days? Thank you

Since metal prices haven't dropped (and given that you can often get more if you deliver the vehicle to the scrap yard) anything less than £200 would seem to be a very low figure these days.

I took a load of scrap metal for a chap I know a couple of weeks ago to a scrapyard in Brierley Hill and it was £190 per ton.
Somebody nicked the catalytic converter off my van last month,they just cut the exhaust pipe either side of it,the Police reckon they are going for about £80 scrap because of the precious metal in them.
Cost me £300 to replace it :-(

Skip hire firms end up with their skips full of customers' 'rubbish', much of which (including metals) can be recycled by the hire company. So skip hire companies will always have a close relationship with scrap metal dealers and vehicle recycling firms.
If they're coming to you, and paying in cash (as most firms would probably do), you've probably got little to lose. For example, if you phoned them up and they promised you £220 but only offered £50 when they arrived with their low-loader, you could simply tell them to get lost without losing anything.
