We have had one weighed for it's scrap metal and since these cars tend to be built like tanks (the Mom in me insists they are protected in every way possible when they drive) and this makes them heavy. There are places that will purchase them just for the scrap metal. They literally weigh the car and pay you a set price per pound.
A better way to get rid of a car is donation. What is of very little value to you... can be of great value to a variety of organization. It is a great thing to donate cars for vets. There are several organizations that take used, broken down cars. They come and pick it up. At cars for vets 100% of the money goes to veterans. You avoid the hassle of expensive repairs, or trying to place an ad and sell the car. And to top it off... you can take the highest resale price and use it as a tax deduction.
A simple thing... that can mean so much.

I definitely agree that donating your junk car to charity is a great idea. I recently donated my old '89 Lexus RX to a non profit organization called https://www.onlinecardonation.org, which is an IRS 501(c)3 certified organization. They donate the proceeds to other people that need assistance. It was really easy - they took care of the towing and all the processing, and I received a tax deduction for the full sales price of the car. I highly recommend them.
