Good evening, 

Does anyone know a company that will buy a car for scrap? 

The car isn't in bad condition but not starting at the moment and I'm moving away from Spain so don't feel like spending money to have it fixed. 

I'm based in Santa Pola.

Thanks, 

Melissa

You could try Bradley Breakers 607 84 83 32

Bradleybreakers.com

They do all the paperwork to dispose of the car.

Adding to this correct advice, you must remember to return to the breakers to collect the official document that the car has been scrapped, the document your given just covers the cash you received at the time as the vehicle changes hands.  The official document may be needed to get the road tax back you often get charged the following year.  🙄

Scrap yards don't normally pay you. Would you be willing to hand it over to us if it worth repairing?

Before taking to the scrap yard why not advertise on this post, include details & photo. Spanish registered cars, even old ones, are always in demand.

Hiya. Definitely Bradley Breakers. We have scraped two cars with them, never had a problem. They collect, paperwork done on collection of the car, no having to go and collect some time later, money given. Great company 👍

Perhaps from your area, in Murcia region you are paid to scrap your vehicle, in fact I scrapped my old work van, there is a set price list given for vehicle make and model, my old van with two car batteries in the back netted me €200.00.

Being newer does not net you more money, the value is based on known vehicle weight.

Regards

Dave.

I meant to add, I am a mechanic and have had a garage business here in Spain for many years, vehicles beyond economic repair end up in the scrap yard, it normally covers perhaps getting some road tax back, not a lot but certainly a little recompense.

Dave
