Buying, Selling, and Donating Used Vehicles
There may come a time when you decide that it's not worth repairing your vehicle. If and when you reach that point, there are places that will purchase your vehicle, dismantle it, and recycle those parts that can't be resold for reuse. Of course, these businesses can also be good resources to find specific parts to help you repair your vehicle. There are also a number of non-profits locally and nationally that will accept your vehicle as a donation. If you have a local non-profit you would like to donate to, call to see if they have a vehicle donation program. Below are some examples:
