| How to junk a car
So long story short, car was involved in an accident and likely not worth repairing from a financial standpoint.
Was wondering if anyone had insight into how I would junk a car? Sell it off to a scrap dealer? Other thoughts?
It is a 2005 Subaru Legacy Outback for reference

Might be worth throwing on craiglist in current state for a low price. Some people would be willing to buy it and rebuild it themselves.
You wont get much for scrapping a car.

scrap is prob worth like $500-600, they pretty much pay for how heavy your car is. Give those guys that pick up scrap cars a call, they'll pick it up and pay you on the spot  | |

have you tried the nasioc vancouver board? or a local subaru dealership like specialty (now jim pattison)? they might be more interested in it as a complete parts car rather than scrap.

Try this: Charity Car Program. You donate it to charity and get a tax receipt.

Give those guys that pick up scrap cars a call, they'll pick it up and pay you on the spot | I haven't checked recently but I'm pretty sure scrap steel is a lot less than that for a car that size - I'd venture to guess it's worth 300-400. Minus whatever the truck driver wants to make to haul it and he's only getting $200-300. He might get a bit more since the scrapper would probably list it on CL for parts, make a few bucks, then send it off to scrap.
