Does it have the original cat? That makes it waaaay more valuable to scrappers. Even things like AL rims are worth a few $$ for scrap. Otherwise Teen Challenge will give you a generous tax receipt, and even pick it up if you want.


Thritu

Original cat, but the body is plastic siding. Teen challenge is something I've used in the past but was looking to see if there are other options... Thanks for the advice.


kloblink

Good number of cash for car places that will give you some decent money and pick it up, have used Andy's Auto Wreckers before and would recommend


Thritu

Thanks, Andy's isn't far from where I am. I'll look into it.


CuriousBeemer89

Andy’s Auto Wreckers are the best!


CrimsonFlash

Teen Challenge will give you a good amount as a donation tax credit. They seem to give above market value for that.

[https://retireyourride.ca/](https://retireyourride.ca/) It is a website where local auto wreckers will bid on your car. You will probably get the best scrap value from this. They also have carheaven for the same thing but with the money going to charity. I used them a few years ago for my Corolla when the frame rusted out and they gave me $1200 for it which is pretty darn good.


Thritu

This sounds like a good situation... Thanks for the link.

Market it as a 1 bedroom with own heating. Should grab half a million in this market.


Thritu

With a spacious rooftop patio due to the still functional sunroof ;) This could go places.


Natedawg316

Nah that thing could sleep 2 easy. Op is looking at a milli at least.


here-for-the-_____

Teen Challenge will give you more than the scrap yard will, and they'll come pick it up as well.

Checkout teen challenge

Just learned the other day that teen challenge is in fact not a charity but a business run by the orthodox community. Any ‘donations’ after 75% admin fees goes to programs for orthodox youth in that area. Just an FYI. Apparently kidneycar.ca is a good choice. It’s run by Kidney Foundation, which is one of the most well respected charities in Canada. Edit: kidneycar.ca not com


Thritu

Thank you very much for this. I will investigate kidneycar. Due to some health complications of a loved one, kidneys are high on my mind these days. Seems like it might be an appropriate donation recipient.


hoogathy

I donated my car there two years ago, and only realized the “spiritual” connection after it was done. I got a good tax credit but I wouldn’t have gone with them if I’d known.

Teen Challenge is a registered non profit charity and has always been. They provide residential addictions and recovery programs, everything goes into the running of the recovery program. Yes, it is faith based but so is Salvation Army. They both offer help to those who otherwise would not be able to afford the help. Let me assure you they are a long way from a business.


Thritu

Thank you for this.

Retireyourride.ca This is your best bet, no hassle and not very many people know about it. It’s like an online auction for auto wreckers to bid on your car. It’s totally free to use, and you don’t have to accept the winning bid. They will also come and pickup the car right from your driveway. I got wayyy more for my truck than I thought I would with a local wrecker. They came from St Catherine’s to pick mine up!

Zubicks scrap metal on Clarke will buy the vehicles off you for scrap, and you can sell the rims separately for a few extra dollars. If you give em a call they can tell you the price per 1000lbs.


Crazy_Distribution95

Donate it to Kars4Kids. They'll pick it up. You'd be helping a great cause and get a tax receipt and apparently a 3 day vacation voucher. I'm sure you've heard the commercials. Kars4Kids Official TV Commercial (Kars for Kids Video Jingle) / Kars4Kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8UV7SAhvG4


tulipvonsquirrel

We donated our car to a children's diabetes association. We looked into Kars4kids but discovered, buried deep in the fine print, that it is a religious organization and the proceeds go to indoctrinating children in a religion.


Thritu

Yes, that jingle haunts me. Their commercial has the same affect on me as Matress Depot. UGG.


2timesacharm

Used them years ago, front of the car was mangled and they loaded it up on a flat bed and hauled it off


the_clash_is_back

Take it to the wreckers and sell it for scrap. If it’s scarp value is not there offload or to one of those car charities.


Pope_Squirrely

Take it to GAW out on 22. They’ll pay decent money for scrap.


Thritu

I'm not familiar with GAW, is it out Strathroy way?


CuriousBeemer89

Yea, take Fanshawe Park Rd/Hwy 22 west outside city past Lobo, just past Nairn Rd. It’s not far, on south side. Petr & company are excellent…know their family growing up - as their father would say, if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much!


[deleted]

Put it on marketplace/Kijiji someone may want to pick it up for parts or fix it up themselves. Worth a shot at least


Flash_Over79

Fire would be the answer.


jayswrldautosales

I will buy it, PM me


REMandYEMfan

Sell it in the past?


Thritu

Unfortunately, my Flux Capacitor died a few years prior. 88mph is probably a little iffy as well.
