I weighed in an old Vectra cdx alloy around 6 weeks ago and got £9 for it... I can't remember the weight.

Yip not far of there mate
If your taking in rads cut the plastic endcaps off and for alloys remove tyre weights and valve and it goes through as clean :y
to remove the tyre use a stanly knife cut round the side wall (both sides) and cut the bead with a grinder/sthil saw :D :y

Think she's one of the lowest paying in the area!!!  Hence we only use them with scrap cars!!!!!!  All the rest go to different yards a few miles away!!!

There might be some live prices on some of these links, but would think the prices are there during trading hours.
