Are you the type of person that drives your cars until they can't be driven anymore? If so, you'll be in a unique situation when the car is finally on its last legs. What do you do with a car that has very little value to it? Here are some

Trade It In

If you are going to go directly from your junk car to a new car, chances are that you can get something for trading it in at the same time. The car will typically need to be in working order, so if you can drive it into the lot then you will be good to go.

While you will most likely get the lowest amount for trading in your car at a dealership, you have the benefit of not having to deal with it anymore. The car will be gone and now someone else's problem to do what they wish with it.

Donate It

There is also the option to donate your car to charity. It is usually as simple as calling up a local charity that accepts cars and they will show up and tow the vehicle away. However, this may cause more problems than you think.

Car donations do not offer the exact amount that the car is worth, but lower your income so that you owe less taxes at the end of the year. This can complicate how you fill out your taxes if you typically don't have enough deductions to do an itemized deduction. You may end up needing to hire a tax preparation service to figure it all out for you.

Junk It

You can always take your car to a local junk yard and just get rid of it for good. Junk yards will take your car and remove any parts that could be of use, since there is a market for used parts. Some junk yards will even tow your car to their lot so that the hardest part is taken care of for you. You may be surprised at who will eventually need a door from the exact same make, model, and color of your car some day. Cars that are completely useless are crushed so that they take up very little space, and recycle as many of the materials as possible.

Reach out to a local company that accepts junk cars for more information on how to get rid of your vehicle. For more information, contact companies like U Pull & Pay.
