I've got my 315i shell that I want rid of for cash

are there any companies that will collect the car from me and pay me or will I have to take it myself and weigh it in?

if anyone could list some companies they know/use that are as local to Birmingham as possible

also does anyone know roughly how much an e30 shell is worth?

TIA

i scrapped a ford escort last week and got £165 for it but i took it to them.it weighed in at 1150kg's. im not sure if it would be worth cutting up and trailering it yourself rather than getting them to collect?

I think around birmingham you would get about £80. but i know the scrap man so i let him have my cars for free as he collects them when i want. You trying the suspension tommorow snoops give me a bell if you get stuck

You have no chance of someone collecting a shell and paying you! A vehicle capable of lifting/transporting a car is expensive to run, unless you have a mate who is passing you will need to dispose of it yourself

I suppose it was worth a try

scrapped a beetle shell last week. it was totally stripped of everything so not much metal. I just went to the yard arranged a time and he came and got it. Didn't get anymoney for it but was happy to be shot of it

just check yell.com and you'll find plenty of scrap metal merchants then just give them a call and arrange collection

i fragged my 316i last week, phoned a number that i had seen on lots of cars in the area advertising collection of unwanted vehicles. i got 20 sheets even tho i took lots of bits off. he had to lift it from the back end as i robbed the diff out of it.

What do you class as a shell? A shell will fetch about £20-£30 ish. If it is just a bare shell, i wouldn't expect any cash if you want it picking up.

i wouldnt have classed mine as a shell as it still had the engine and box, plus interior, although it was in a bit of a state since i rushed home from work and nicked random bits off like the headlamps; fogs; rear lights; parcel shelf; heater box; ecu; wiper motor and linkage; coil; front grilles and some switches
