best method for junking a car?
 

i have a car w/ title that I want gone from my house, but the car doesnt have any suspension on it. What is the best way to remove it or have it removed. (cheapest or most return)

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Burn it and get the insurance money!!! Or have a scrap yard come and get it and get 50 bucks. Make sure to tell them it doesn't have any wheels though so they can bring a flat bed out.

look in the pennysaver, or in the classified under cars wanted. that's where you'll find the local guys that will buy cars directly from you to scrap. if it's just a shell with no suspension or drivetrain don't expect much if anything. Probably get someone to come get it out of your yard and just not charge you for hauling it. I had to call like 4 places one time and just didn't tell the last one it was only a gutted shell, he was pissed when he came to pick it up.

The most return of course would be to find a trailer you can borrow and drag it to the local scrap yard. look in the yellow pages for automobile recycling to find scrap yards. They'll give you a couple bucks more (cutting out the middle man) but once again if it's just a shell you won't get much so it's not really worth the work. If you do haul it yourself make sure to pack as much heavy ---- in the trunk just dont make it obvious its just random junk. local place will dock you for used tires and ---- so I throw em in the trunk and break the key off in the lock, adds weight and gets rid of garbage. got rid of losts of broken windshields and old carpets that way

not too bad of an idea...i guess a little bit of panel bond would help keep that trunk shut too!

sounds like my best move is to have someone come pick it up.

thanks for the tips guys

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

ya most places picking up will still charge you money to take it even with steel prices. I just cut the bitches up takes a day or so and take the scarp to a scarp yard and get money for a 12 pack

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

chop it up and toss it out in the nearest lake or scatter the parts in church parking lots

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

pay 3 friends with trucks to scatter bits of the car throughout an area. report it stolen, and that you were going to scrap it, and it came up mia. do at your own risk, guy across the hill from me torched his own car and got nailed for arson, reported it stolen yet it never left his driveway.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Yeah I tried to get them for my untitled teg, but he says salvage yard charges if they don't have the title :(

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

no title = may as well be stolen you can't prove it.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Well, my totalled crx was picked up by a salvage yard, without title or anything. Some guy has been trying to call to buy the title from me because he got it and grabbed the dash out.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

i've still got titles lying around from cars i've scrapped, could never find em when i needed too.
some I just never had the titles, depends on where you go and what you tell em.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

nowadays you can't find a yard around here that will accept a car, AND pay you, unless you have a title.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

What do you think a scrap yard would give you for the car cut up in pieces?

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

tin weight.

thats like .09/lb right now around here

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Man there's boatloads of guys around here looking for junk cars running or not. They pick up and pay. Hell I had a guy come to my house and took any metal I had. I had things from rusty nuts and bolts to bike wheels, rusty mufflers...you name it. Pretty much whatever the garbage man wouldn't take he would. He jack the up, weld the control arms directly to the brackets on the unibody or just pick up some angle iron or whatever to get it lifted up and weld, clamp, jb weld, bubble gum, jizz, rubberband that fucker inplace.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

You can always find someone to just take a junk car with scrap prices so high. If anyone wants to charge then they are just trying to double screw you.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Exactly, doesn't your local craigslist have people hounding for junk cars every day? Mine does and I don't live in a huge city.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

what 90dx said but with a railsaw. it sucked ass using the torches too much smoke from the interior.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

sawzall ftw beeotch

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

thermite + sawzall

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Wait! what kind of car is it and where are you? Maybe someone here needs what you have.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

9" angle grinder FTW!!!

Chopped a sedan into pieces large enough for one person to carry, shoved it in the boot of my buddies hatch then drove to scrapyard and weighed it in. Stripped shells go for more than complete shells, because they don't have to worry about environmental pollution bullshit.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

I've always wanted to use a Demo Saw, with just an abrasive blade to demolish a car. It wouldn't take long at all. :6

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

90dx or anyone else. When you chopped the car up, did you bother removing the tank or anything else like windows or just cut str8 through? Buddy shafted me with his parts car and lost the title so no junk man around here's willing to pick it up. Theft is out of hand around here so i'd understand why they dont want to take the risk.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

we left pretty much everything in it.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

or just chop up pieces small enough and dump them into all the trash cans around the neighborhood

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Or sneak up to a dumpster and throw everything in... but be careful of the $500 public dumping fine.

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

bury them in your back yard , lol

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

Just find a dumpster behind an apartment complex or similar, free dumping

Re: best method for junking a car?
 

True dat.
