   Chaps... 

I have an Escort 1994. The paint work is faded, and there's a water leak that collects in the passenger foot well, thanks to a rusty hole under the battery.

It's not all bad new though, as it has a fairly new gearbox, with hardly any mileage on it since it was replaced, all new brake pipes, new battery and an engine that’s only done 60,000 from new.

I want to get rid of it, as I have a degree of arthritis in both knees and the clutch and brake are a bit heavy for me. 

But I obviously wouldn't be too keen to sell it privately with welding required under the battery. So I am considering one of those 'Cash for cars' outfits that advertise.

Has anybody had any experience with them, or have you any other advice on a way to get the best price.

I haven’t sold many cars so would appreciate your advice.
