Default Scrap or what...

Needed a works 'van' so picked up a Honda Accord Tourer for buttons, needed about 600 quid to get an mot. Trusted.. mechanic failed to spot a dud cooling fan switch so it lasted six weeks, still drives fine and loses no water but not worth spending 600 to pass an mot and I wouldnt sleep if I sold it to some poor sucker. No tax or mot and lying in the drive surplus as I bought a 2.4 of the same.
What do I do with it? not giving it away as spares or repairs for a couple of hundred as it has four new tyres and the alloys are worth a few bob.
At a loss and since the drive is real steep, can't put it on bricks
Full leather and a real nice motor but thinking replacing the head gasket might be a tad more complex than my rs turbo!

List it on eBay spares or repairs with all faults listed. Set the reserve for what the wheels / tyres are worth...
