Need to get rid of 'my' car

[kombolcha]

My sisters 2001 Intrepid needs a new engine and we're not going to fix it because it's not worth it... Even if it had an engine it still has no value lol, so what's the best way to get rid of it?

i searched for those car donation things, but a million of those sites popped up and some of them looked bogus to me.

leave it in the rough end of town?

You are probably better off going to a local charity for that. Either a religious charity or an abused women charity in my area seem to have programs for car donation. Maybe the local auto tech school or high school would take it for a project. The other option is to call up the local junkyard/salvage yard. You might get some cash for it that route or a write off through the charity.

One last option if you have the space, time and ability. Part it out yourself on E-Bay, good money to be made that route.

Come on, be straight with us. There's a dead body in the trunk, right?

I might know some guys who can help you.

That probably gets back to your sister. Somebody might start to strip it, but it probably eventually gets towed to an impound lot and they match the VIN up to your sister. Unless you go through the trouble of removing all the VIN's, but that would be an amazing pain in the ass. Not to mention the hassle of towing it to the rough end of town in the first place.

National Kidney Foundation often takes them as "kidney cars". They have volunteer mechanics come by and fix them up. Then in turn, donate them to families that need dialysis but can't get to the clinic without a car.

Otherwise, like the other posters have stated, go with a trade school or otherwise.

Sell it at a car auction.

A couple years ago when my '97 Taurus died, I just sold it to the junk yard for $150. Ironically enough, I now own a 2001 Intrepid.

I hate it :(

that's comically sad...

some of charities i've looked into want a running car to give to poor families... and i will not give to a religious charity, ever.

the junkyard idea is great, i sent an email to a known junk yard that i pass by almost everyday for a quote.
