What's the best way to dispose of my 1997 Volkswagen Golf TDi?

I drive a 1997 R-plate Volkswagen Golf TDi GL with 195,000 miles on the clock. It's been a faithfully reliable beast over the last 10 years, but now I no longer need it and I'm wondering what my best option is for getting shot of it. Like myself, its bodywork is starting to show signs of rust and I guess it's only worth a couple of hundred pounds tops. Would selling for scrap be an idea or should I go down the Sure Sell route with BCA? I don't want the hassle of selling privately.

There's always a market for this kind of car, even at this mileage. It's still got a bit of life left in it for someone, so I'd advise going for BCA Sure Sell. Quick, easy and you should get a few bob. Good luck with it.
