Because my Bee looks a bit unloved, people frequently leave flyers under the window offering to buy it - and I bet they would offer peanuts too! Then they'd take it straight to a scrap yard and make an instant profit.
My Mucker, just as an experiment, see what you could get for yours if you were to scrap it. Prices depend greatly on location (bro was offered £300 for his car in Telford but nothing in Shrewsbury), but I have a feeling it would be more than your neighbour wants to part with.
I noticed recently that asking prices on eBay are going up and offerings getting thinner on the ground. These days people ask £1500 for one in good nick with 150k miles on the clock; a couple of years ago that would get one with half that mileage.
As Zion commented recently, when the ban on all new petrol/diesel cars comes into force in about a decade, second hand prices will go through the roof. The trend might already be starting for cars in the best nick.
Keeping old bangers on the road might soon become more financially sensible than scrapping and starting again. Depending on taxes and tolls of course.

I wouldn't sell it either. I think your neighbour was being deliberately cheeky, assuming you'd make a counter offer.
My experiences of scrap prices varies greatly. I got £300 for my last Berlingo picked up back in 2017 I think, but it was driveable and had a few month's MOT left. And as I said, in 2019 my bro got offered nothing for his Vectra within Shrewsbury even if he delivered it, or £300 collected if it was in Telford, so we towed it there.
