How to dispose of my Audi A3?

My 2006 Audi A3 petrol has failed its NCT on emissions and my mechanic said it will need a new engine to fix the problem. Will I be able to trade it in anywhere? It's a great car in good condition; would be a shame to scrap it.

Hi Karla,

Your best bet is to use it as a trade-in against your next purchase. A dealer may offer you more than it's worth to sweeten the deal.
