Sell Or Scrap?


Wease

Recommended Posts

Well my 2001 Grand Am that my step daughter drives back and forth to school finally bit it Sunday. The trans had been slipping and now it won't go into reverse. :( Fortunately, it's stuck in my driveway, not down at UC. It's got 198K on it, some body rust (it was an upstate New York car for a while), but everything works and it runs fine. Given the mileage and condition, I'm not putting any money into it, but someone else might want to.

 

Do you guys think I'd be better off scrapping it or trying to sell it? :confused:

most of those "We buy cars" folks will give you about $500 for a running vehicle. Thats what we did with our old van and it worked out great. Just face it forwards so when they drive it onto the flat bed it 'works just fine' ;)

 

Depending on your time frame (you sound like you don't care if it sits for a bit) Try to sell it for $1000, accepting any offer over $4-500, worse case you junk it.
