I have a 1990 Toyota Celica. Before I am told, it's not good enough
for the car scrappage scheme. I was reading in a site that it is
better to strip all the bits than taking it (or having someone take
it) to the scrap yard where you will get little money after you pay
for the transport.

I bought some parts like the alternator 4 years ago, others are in
good
condition.

Is it true that you can sell the parts, where after you sell them
individually you end up with more money than from the scrap yard? or
do you end up stuck with lots of bits after the donkey work to
dismantle the car.

If it is worth it, can anybody recommend where to advertise the bits?
is ebay worth it?

By which you mean it's got no ticket? If you're seriously considering
buying a new-new car anyway, it's worth asking nicely - the dealer's MOT
man might be more lenient if they know it's being scrappaged... I am told
(by people who should know) this is not uncommon...

If you wouldn't otherwise be buying a new-new car, then forget the
crappage scheme. It's a scam, anyway.

Both.

Yes, but if there's a specialist forum that'd probably be more lucrative.

You throw the metal bit's that don't sell back in the shell and get it
collected by scrap metal merchant, not a car breaker.
