Car Busted. What's the Best Method to get the most money out of it?

Question

I have a '93 Infiniti G20. The engine hit the final nail in the coffin and is way too much to get it repaired. But the rest of the car is in decent shape, besides a few minor problems. Whats the best thing to do to get the most money out of the rest of the car. i need it done quick and im not into parting it out. others have recommended junk yards or metal scrap yards. i need a quick drop off option that gives me the most money.

Answer 1

For the most money, eBay would probably be your best choice for a quick sale. List it "as-is" and you make the requirements for pick-up and payment. Hundreds of people will no doubt look at your ad, and if you list it at $1 with no reserve (with the buyer paying to pick it up), all that you will have to do once you sell it is to sign over the title and you're done.

Otherwise, you can sell it as-is in AutoTrader.com or have a junk yard pick it up (they usually charge you for a pick-up however), or donate it to a charity and you can write off the value on your taxes.XeA

Answer 2

You really should look into parting it out if you want the most money. Junkyards and metal scrap will not give you anywhere near the value. Try running it in the paper or selling it on eBay.

Answer 3

go to Demolition, Scrap Metal and Salvage News and look for Free Junk Car Removal

Answer 4

There are various charitable organizations that will take your car as a donation; they have varying degrees of "runability" that they will accept. If they accept it, they'll pick it up.

You'll get a tax donation for the fair market value.

Answer 5

Junk yard would be the best bet.
