Any thoughts on the best way to dispose of an older model (94) Toyota sprinter?

Someone suggested getting a wrecking firm to pick it up but I thought that seemed a bit harsh!

The vehicle will only have any real value if it has a current Warrant of Fitness and registration.

Sometimes the costs involved in getting a vehicle into a saleable condition are worth more than the car.

Trademe may be an option. Advertise the car as for sale in a 'as-is' 'where-is' condition and open to offers.

Companies such as The Broken Down Car Company will sometimes pay a small amount to collect vehicles like this and in the long run it may be the best option..
