Scrap the car for cash

I've decided to scrap the car for cash, I purchased it new in March of 2000; it cost me
£ 8995. However, it's not easy decision I worked hard to buy it and have become very
attached to it. Nevertheless, the facts speak for their self, its fall apart the clutch
is slipping and now there is an oil leak, or should I say oil flood its pouring out I
find I am buying oil as much as petrol.


It's time to scrap the car; I can't drive it there as the battery is currently flat it's just sitting in the road looking like a truly sorry sight with two deflated tires.
It's making the road look very untidy; I called the council and they will arrange to collect the automobile, but they will only collect for free so I ask them who I could call and get some cash for it; they gave me the details of one of their licensed collectors of old vehicles.

The man I spoke to, informed me of all the legal implications to scrap cars legally, the Paper work I should receive and the best way to make sure the Dvla are informed correctly. Now its back on the phone to call the vehicle recycler. They were extremely helpful, and very polite we arranged the collection for the following morning which was a Sunday! This was great as I work six days a week and is the only time I have.

Arrival was prompt and punctual they first completed the documentation and supplied me with a removal ticket. It contained all the details on the estate car, my details and their details. I had proof of whom collect it and when this happened, they used their official rubber stamp on section 9. The registration document (V5c Log book) and signed it off, this part I sent to the DVLA using recorded delivery service; this would be further proof that I had returned the slip back to the driver and licensing agency, informing them that I have disposed of my auto to a car dismantling service. 

I had to show them picture id to prove who I was. I used my drivers license. By law, they are required to ascertain the identity for the individual requesting them to remove a vehicle. Next they paid me cash for the scrap car, and loaded it up.Three days later I received my certificate of destruction. This was the last part of
my proof that the auto was recycled legally. all considered a very good experience, to see more on scrap the car for cash visit vehicletakeback today.
