How Should I Get Rid Of My Car

Posted in Brake Discs & Pads | Asked on Jun 18, 2011
Below is the question about How Should I Get Rid Of My Car,

I have 1999 honda accord, with 152,000 miles and more than its fair share of dents and scratches. Its brakes are squeaky and makes some crunching sounds when turning right from a botched accident repair job from a couple years back. It runs well enough though and has done a good job as a commuter car over the past years. Well I recently moved to NYC, where insurance is insane and with basic liability coverage, will cost me around $1600 for six months coverage. My kelly blue book value is supposedly only around $2000, and honestly a car isnt something I seriously need to possess at this time. Selling it seems like far more hassle than its worth, I am not sure how much I’d get and wouldnt want to deal with the potential for future headaches of an unsatisfied buyer. Would I be better off just scraping it for whatever pennies they offer?

    Headaches of an unsatisfied buyer? You’d be selling it AS-IS NO WARRANTY. As soon as they give you the cashier’s check and you do a title transfer to them . . . It’s theirs.
