grandadJohn Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Our old car has finally given its last and, no we don't want to "scrappage" it for another. (We have a newer car that will do) Does anybody know the procedure for taking it off the road. My local garagiste says he will take it off my hands, but I want to be sure I'm conforming with the regs as I don't want it coming back to haunt me in a couple of years time in the hands of someone else. Has any body been through the procedure? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave21478 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I would suggest rather than giving it to a garage (who, if it doesnt go back on the roads, will very probably strip it for parts to re use or sell) that you place a classified ad in the local paper or online and flog it off cheaply. It depends what it is, obviously, but you should still get a couple of hundred euros.I had a decent Uk-spec 106 diesel a while back, that I no longer used and didnt want to pay to re-register here. A garage owner offered to take it off my hands for no charge, doing me a massive favour?! The engine alone would have been worth 500€.I sold the whole car on for 600€ in the end. The buyer didnt give a stuff about RHD or UK reg, he was just going to strip it for parts to sell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
