Best way to get rid of an old car.

[woodsy109]

Obviously you want something for it so your best bet would be ebay as well as listing in any free trader magazines that you have in your area. That way you don't fork out anything for advertising so you haven't lost anything if you can't sell it. If it does sell then someone gets what they want pretty cheap AND they organise to remove it from your place.

Also if you want to put in a little more effort then you could advertise it for parts. My old man did this and made an easy $500 on an old ute he had - the ashtray sold for $15! Then he just paid a scrap metal guy $20 to take it away and he even took the wheels off once it was on the truck. The only problem with this is you have to take a LOT of calls and possibly help dismantle it.

Good luck and ignore the idiots suggesting to burn it. Anything you get from it can be spent improving your new car.

But seriously, Ebay it, even for a couple of hundred bucks.

The best sign is "For Sale $50"

Any sign that says steal... usually puts doubts in the persons mind.

does it have a towbar?
do you know someone with a boat?
think about that and water damage.
make sure you have insurance first.

I have always wanted to get an old volvo and rip the body off and turn it around so it looks like it's driving backwards... how hard could it be!?! (no, im not serious).

I have fond memories of this car, continually breaking down.

Before you get rid of it, I want my wire holding up the exhaust back :p.

I might look into ebay - that way I might get some cash, or if that fails I can try something else.

I like BlackLS' idea.. FF drag car perhaps? :P

somewhere like simsmetal or norstar. you should get a couple of hundred in scrap value if you drop it off to them.

Park it in the Brisvegas equivalent of Mt Druit / Broadmeadows and it'll get nicked (or torched) the same day... Oh hang on, It's a Volvo...
