Car scrappage schemes

Sadly Amir Kahn has decided that my old ford fiesta is no longer road worthy.
As of April next year I won't be able to drive it once the new emission zone takes effect.
My options will be to try and sell it before then to someone living outside the zone or get the scrap value.
Now I'll admit I know nothing about cars, so what can I expect to get for it and how to go about selling or scrapping it ?
It's an X reg.
MOT due in August and although it passed last year I've been told a few parts need replacing and there is a lot of rust on the underside of the chassis, so new bodywork and spray needed in places...
I'm barely using it now anyway as I've got another car , so when it does get used it's mostly for very short trips.

It would be nice to pass it on to a new owner as I have fond memories of it and I've had the use of it ever since I passed my test, so it'll be a sad day when I have to say goodbye. Ultimately though it's had its day and if the junk yard is the next stop then so be it.
Any advice and tips on what to do next ?
Thanks a lot,

Sadly, I don't think there's really much point in going to too much trouble - see what response you get from Gumtree or whatever.
If you go for any repairs you won't get your money back, and for a 20 year old Fiesta I'd expect a fair bit of rust on the sills and wings.
Price? Anywhere between £0 and £200

I wasted £££ on a low mileage **Never used over winter ** 13 year old Ka that belonged to a good M8 - bought it for my D-I-Law who used it for a year, then it overheated, garage (wrongly) said head gasket. I buggered about with it and changed water pump+ thermostat. Got it MOT'd thinking it would do for another family member - WRONG - no one wants an old car even as a gift nowadays. I would've been better off driving it literally across the road from the garage to the scrapper.

If you decide to scrap it, try phoning a metal recycler rather than a car scrap yard. I'm not up to date with prices but recently you could get more by driving it over a scrappy weighbridge than selling to a car breaker.

old cars have got very cheap now.

It's seldom worth spending much on repairs. Though if you've had it long enough to know it's in good nick, it's worth more to you than buying an old one you know nothing about.

We've had two Toyotas, one lasted around 20 years and I sold it as a runner, still have one of them, it's only 18.

The Zintect bodywork makes them last a long time.

Thanks guys.
I'm looking at the car scrappage deals on offer at my local ford dealer and it seems I can get up to 2k off the price of a new motor.
Small deposit of a few hundred quid with 3-4 years worth of between £180-£250 monthly payments depending on model.
I'm accustomed to ford so it's the first place I've been looking.
Other options might involve the metal dealers, thanks a lot of the tips. I'll likely choose the option that makes the most money sense. Not sure I can take on the cost of a new car at the moment.

it's not really a scrappage scheme.

It's just a discount off the nominal list price.

They anticipate making a healthy profit, including the finance charges.

I got £4000 for my 13yr old diesel Skoda, but that was a couple of years ago now.
I don't know whether they're still doing the diesel scrappage scheme now.
