Cars that still drive typically got £140, against £128 for non-runners. Undamaged cars typically got £140, against £100 for damaged cars. Diesels typically got £140, against £130 for petrol cars. Over the last 12 months the typical best offer in Cumbria was £130 (33 enquiries), down from £140 in the 12 months before (88 enquiries).
