How to sell old car parts? I have a garage full of old car parts, both exterior and interior, mostly for early 60's T-birds but there are some others. Everything from an entire engine to hoods, hubcaps and backseats! I cannot relocate them myself, but I want to sell them SAFELY. How do I sell these parts and have them picked up by the buyer? Are there companies that do this? I live in Fresno, CA (Central Valley). Thanks!
Can I still sell my old car to the government without taking smog test? When I took my old car (1994) to a test only smog check center for a failed smog test in order to sell it to the government, the smog technician told me that because of its problematic transmission, he couldn't put it on the test. But I heard that you can still sell your car to the government without taking smog test. Is that true? For your information, the car's engine still works very well, but it runs slowly.

How do I sell my old car when I am using my license plates on my new car.? I live in Toronto, Ontario. I am planning on buying a used car through private sale. When I buy the car, I will be transferring my license plates from my old 1996 Ford Escort to my new car. I will then need to sell my old car. What do I use for license plates for the old car when prospective car buyers want to take it for a test drive. Do I need to keep the license plates on my old car, and buy new license plates for the new car, and then return the old license plates when I sell my old car - or am I stuck with two license plates. Do I need to keep insurance on the old car while I am selling it?

Ordered new car and need to sell old one..? I've ordered a new car, which will be arriving in September / October as its being "built to order". I need to sell my old car. I currently have 1 year and 10 months worth of no claims. The garage said they will give me a loan car if I sell mine before the new car arrives. My question is this - How can I transfer my insurance without it lapsing (and therefore losing the last 10 months of no claims) Since when I sell my current car, I wont know any details about the loan car - so I wont be able to do a straight transfer of the insurance. Is there anyway I can put in insurance "on hold" for a week or so without cancelling it, while I get the loan car sorted out? I dont want to wait until I get my 2nd year of no claims in August before I sell, incase I dont have time to sell the car before my new one arrives. I hope this makes sense. Thanks. Markus.

Is there a better way to sell an old car and get more money?

how do I get my Dad to sell me his old car? My Dad recently got a new car, and he later hit a pole with his old car.

How do I get my money's worth out of selling a really old car? How would I sell it for parts? I have this great old classic 1986 Lincoln Town Car. I've run ads to sell it but haven't really got any hits. It needs work if it's going to stay in running order, which brings down the cost anyone would want to pay for it. But there is a ton of stuff on it that is worth something piece by piece (leather seats in perfect condition, for example). Is it possible for me to sell out the parts myself, or do I have to be able to take them off the car and deliver them to a shop to do that? Any advice would be helpful and very much appreciated! Side note: Here is the ad I am currently running on craigslist just trying to trade the car for anything else. It's got pictures, so maybe someone can tell me if this looks like it's worth anything. http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/bar/243055998.html

Should I sell my old car or cars? My husband and I have a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder which has over 180,000 miles but there is no way of knowing b/c the odometer is broken. I figure it is worth around $2000 if anyone will buy it ($1100 for a trade-in). We also have a 1998 Honda CRV with > 160,000 miles. It is probably worth around $5500. We haven't had any major car problems with either. We don't like having two SUVs but they are both paid off, and I don't know what makes the most financial sense. Should we sell the Pathfinder while it is still running, sell the CRV b/c it is worth the most or keep both until they finally quit? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sell old car or transfer ownership? My dad has an old 92 Cadillac. He's a recipient of SSI and SS income. He can't sell his car since it will be considered income which will interfere w/ his monthly SSI/SS checks. I was thinking of transferring ownership to my name and avoid paying taxes. Afterwards, donate it to a charity to benefit my tax returns. - is tranfering owership finanically beneficial vs. the headache i have to go through at dmv? - will it be beneficial period. i earn over 90K. My random "donations to charity" i've made does not seem to benefit anymore. - This whole plan - is it unethical? afterall i'm trying to go around the system trying to get something out of it. - does this have any implications on my father's situation? Btw - the car does drive. market value is around $1.5K. i would sell it but i would like to get rid of it asap. few things i should mention. My assumption was based on what the social worker told me. She specifically said "any income will go against his SSI payment". He's also not only 62. he gets ssi/ss b/c he's disable. i'm also from NJ. i'm sure laws differ state to state. thanks

This car is old and I am not sure if people would be willing to buy a car like this. It has 140,000 miles on it, as well. What should I do? Try to sell it or give it to a junkyard?

Will you be able to afford a new car and sell your old one if Obama is elected? More oil is a necessity and I just wonder how many Obama supporters will be able to afford a brand new vehicle and how they will sell their old gas powered ones. Fuel efficiency is going to take time and money - both from our taxes and from your pocket, so finding more oil now is key. Agree or not? If not, are you prepared financially for the change? remember, Obama does NOT disagree with the price of gas, he just wishes the prices increased more gradually.

A blonde made several attempts to sell her old car.........? A blonde made several attempts to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems finding a buyer, because the car had 340,000 miles on it. She discussed her problem with one of her friends. Her friend suggested, "There may be a way of selling that car, but it's not going to be legal." "That doesn't matter at all," replied the blonde. "All that matters it that I am able to sell this car." "Right," replied her friend, "here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop around here. Tell him I sent you, and he will turn the counter back on your car to 40,000 miles. Then it shouldn't be a problem to sell your car." The following weekend, the blonde took a trip to the mechanic on her friend's advice. About one month after that, her friend saw the blonde and asked, "Did you sell your car?" "No," replied the blonde. "Why should I? It only has 40,000 miles on it."

Should I sell my old car or not..? I got an old, but well cared for Mazda RX-7; many poeple love it when they see it. Engine-wise it will probably do another 150,000 Klm if well maintained, and untill the engine needs a complete overhaul. Body-wise, has no rust, a couple of dents, and needs to be re-sprayed if I want to make look like new. The only problem is that spare-parts are limited to none, because it was manufactured in 1987. I would probably spend more money fixing it if I keep it. My family doesn't want me to sell it, but if I think logically, I think is better to sell it and buy another more up to date car. Because my car is a sports model, its compact inside, and many friends think is too squashy once they sit inside; for the rest it has hardly gave me any problems. I do not want to trade it in, because car dealers want it for a price that I think is not woth it. However, if I get to sell it, how much do you guys think I should sell it for (Australian $); what should I do..?

My friend was supposed to sell me her old car, but she is acting up? OK; my friend bought a new car a couple months ago and she told me that she was selling her THIRTY year old car for a few hundred. I told her that I wanted to buy it, she said OK. My mother has contacted her and she was SUPPOSED to call us yesterday since my mother left a message on SATURDAY. Why is she acting up? She has not returned our call,s but when I see her at school, she says that she'll call. I think that it was totally cruel to play me up like that, getting me all excited, and then refuse to even return the car. I do not get it. She has a convertible and her first car was an old rusty 1970's car. WHY WON'T SHE SELL IT TO ME?
