Scrap, trade, sell or donate?
That is the million-dollar question, if you have an old vehicle you need to get rid of. We explore some potential avenues:
You could scrap your car at a local scrapyard for cash, but…
- You need to get it to the scrapyard and the car doesn’t drive. That’s a dilemma.
- You need to get it to the scrapyard but who can find the time to drive it there…. there is never enough time in the day
- The price of scrap is at an all time low so you really won’t get much money for it
- Of course, you could scrap that idea and donate your car to charity
You could trade in your car at the dealership, but…
- They aren’t offering you enough to make a difference to your purchase
- The car doesn’t drive and you would have to tow it there
- Or, you could make a difference to someone’s life by trading in that idea and donating your car to charity and feeling philanthropic in doing so
You could sell your car online, but…
- You’ll have to manage the onslaught of phone calls and emails
- You need to be available at all hours of the day to show it
- There is a safety issue with getting into a car with a stranger while they test drive your car (didn’t your mother teach you that in kindergarten?)
- You need to purchase a Used Vehicle Information Package
- You are far too busy to deal with this
Or, you could donate a car and change a life!
- This is the fastest and easiest way to dispose of your car. Homeless Cars accepts all cars, vans, trucks, in any shape, any year, whether driveable or not.
