There are a few routes you can take to dispose of a non-running vehicle. Trading it in at a dealership, either new or used, is one possibility. The majority of these dealerships will purchase a non-running used car. You might also try selling it on your own, which can take more time but could potentially bring in a greater price. There are plenty of individuals and businesses on the internet who are looking to buy cars that don't run. It's a good idea to talk to local mechanics and repair companies, as they may be able to offer insight into getting your car back on the road, or they may even be interested in buying it from you for parts. You can get paid for the car's scrap metal worth if you sell it to a junkyard or scrap yard if it's beyond repair. And last, if you really want to help people, you may always donate your car to a good cause. Certain charitable contributions may even qualify for a tax write-off. Consider the benefits and drawbacks of each possibility before settling on the one that works best for you.
