Short answer: Most scrap buyers collect non-running cars on a flatbed or with a tow truck as a matter of course, but tell the buyer upfront if the car has no keys, flat tyres, a locked steering lock or is in a tight space, because these affect the equipment they send and sometimes the price, and a car that cannot be moved may need extra help or a fee.

List Free →Non-runners are normal
Scrap buyers deal with cars that do not run every day, so a dead car is not a problem on its own.
Say what is wrong
Locked steering, missing keys and flat tyres change how a car is moved, so describing them avoids a wasted trip.
Access matters
A car in a tight garage or on soft ground may need special equipment, so mention it when asking for a quote.
