What do you mean "body in bad condition"?

A prospective buyer is gonna need some more details than that really.

Why not put it up for sale 'as is' (you'd need to do a decent description and pics to get interest and comply with site rules) and see what happens?
You'll probably need to give it a good few weeks to sell complete, but I guess you're not in that much of a rush (a few months till you actually need the baby seat?). If it does sell though, it's saved you the hassle of having a non-drivable car hanging round slowly getting reduced in bits, plus you get all the cash in one go rather than piece-meal over time.

Congratulations!

From experience Its not getting the Pram in the boot - its getting the child in and out of the back seat on wet/windy wintery days!!!! I would agree with the above - see if you can sell 'as is' without resorting to breaking right away

Forget a pram; get a collapsible, lie-flat pushchair with a decent back to it. There used to be loads on the market you could fold and unfold with one hand. We had a Manta when our lad was born - only slightly bigger than a 5G. A chum had two bairns and a Consul Capri. No worries.

What 'car parts' do you have on your car? That way people can start buying/dibbing on stuff and then you can decide to break it? :arrow:
