My 16 year old crashed the 94 honda del sol that I bought him six months ago. The hood is damaged, the radiator is bent, but the doors, top, windshield looks fine. It still runs but is not leaking fluid. The body shop said it would take $5000.00 to get it fixed. I only paid 2500.00 for the car. How can I sell it for the most money? Where should I advertise?

go to a junk yard for the new parts and find yourself a shade tree mechanic to do the work for you or let your son tinker on it and give it back to him, maybe make him pay for the new paint job..

Bummer that he crashed that car, it would have been a very reliable vehicle for anyone to drive, although, not all that safe for a new driver. Lucky he didn't get hurt. You may be able to go to a salvage yard, and get yourself another hood, and radiator, they aren't that difficult to install. The civic of that year has that same sized radiator and hood, so you can pull them from there. If you do not want to fix it, try putting an ad in your local newspaper, you may just find an enthusiast that knows what those cars are worth, and can repair them, and would probably give you a nice chunk of what you payed for it.

Take it to a junk yard or salvage yard. There are probably a lot of good parts people can cannibalize from the wrecked car for their own car. The might give you a couple hundred bucks for it, or you can put an ad in Auto Trader or something like it and sell it for scrap or salvage.

PART IT OUT YOURSELF.
The thing is worth more in parts then it is "as is".
If you don't have an EBAY account, get one. Get your son out there to start stripping the vehicle, part by part, photo it, and put it on ebay or run ads for parts in your local clasifieds.
If you do this right, you could even make a profit.

Junk yard is where it belongs from day one. If you want money just put an add in the paper saying parting out and sell the good parts and get your money back.

Put an ad in the local paper and wish for the best. Don't buy him any more cars either. Let him walk. It's good for them.

Make him live with a smashed up car. He will wreck again, in all likelihood, anyway!

Ebay, or part it out. Ebay will be much easier, parting it out (selling the parts on ebay) will be much more work for you.
