depends on the price for scrap metal in your area,here in cornwall its circa £200 a tonne at the moment which would give around £130-150 for you fiesta

Thanks, I've just sold it on ebay for £240, but the buyer is claiming he hasnt got the money. The gearbox is stuck in 3rd but apart from that its a good car. If I can get £150 scrap then thats what I'll do.

Anywhere between 1700 to 1900 kg, as an example I put mine on a weighbridge and it was 1870 kg half full of fuel but otherwise empty, that's for a facelift v6 elite estate
