My step son parked his car in my garage last summer, because he couldn't afford to run it whilst he was on a teacher training course in Edinburgh.

When he tried to check the engine over Christmas it was flat so he decided to scrap it. He was prepared to pay £50 to be rid of all the hassle, but we found a site called buymycar and they came round next day, £700 cash for a non-runner, no tax no mot .

is that really a result,

if they were willing to pay 700 and you wanted 50 it was either because:

a, you didn't know what you were doing

b, they didn't know what they were doing

what car was it ?

Milan.

Blimey, well done for checking. And these kind of sites usually pay well below the proper market rate for your property (there are ones for cars, houses etc etc)...

What car was it? Age, condition etc.

Theoretically if it was a mondeo how much would you have paid?

My thoughts exactly, nice almost mint low mileage 'one careful lady owner' Polo, a bargain at £1500.
