What's the best way to scrap my old Polo?

I have an 1997 Volkswagen Polo and I want to know if I can scrap it without buying a new car. Can I get any money for it? It is still insured, with road tax paid until December 2014.

Is my BMW worth anything as scrap?

Hi, I have 2000 BMW 316 that passed the NCT two weeks ago, has new tyres and is in great condition, but ran out of oil on the motorway to Dublin last week and the engine seized. Now it's not really worth repairing I don't think so wondering what options I would have. Is it worth anything for scrappage? I got quoted €150 max.

Thanks, Scott

Can I trade-in two cars for scrappage?

Can I trade in two cars for one on the Government Scrappage Scheme? One of the cars, a 2000 Fiat Punto is eligable for scrappage; the other, a 2007 Nissan Note, is not. Do you think any garage would give government scrappage on the Punto and trade-in on the Note in return for one new car?
