My car broke down & was towed to a big retailer. The pipes from my engine fell out. The car absolutely needs a new engine. Cost & labour $1500. I did get a 2nd opinion it was $1300. I bought the car for $1500 11 months ago. My tires r brand new. (I payed $200) Most of the scrap metal places want to give me $100 for my car. Hyundai accent 97. My car is in Vaudreuil, Quebec, Canada. How can I get more $ assuming that there is no point in fixing the car.

If you have a back yard or a garage where you can part the car off, you will probably make your $1500 back just on selling it piece by piece. You could easily sell the tires and wheels as a complete set for $100. There is someone who probably has a set of expensive chrome wheels on their hyundai and they need a set of wheels to use during the winter.

Either try to sell the car to an individual. Or buy a car from an individual that may have been wrecked but still has good motor. Or get the car fixed and drive it. No scrap yard will give more than 100 unfortunately been there done that. The car is worth alot more as a parts car if u dont want to fix it.

Try to sell it in a classified ad for parts?

How did you buy it that cheap in the first place? I might be interested, but I live in Ohio.
