Oldsmobile/Buick: Any advice on what to do with my car?, good shape, misfortune

Question
Hello,

I have a 1990 Buick Centruy, that recently overheated and is now not running.  I need to either donate it or TRY to get some money for it.  Do you know of any place that will give me money for it?  It had some minor body damage as well.  Do you think I would be better off just donating it?

Answer
Nina ,

If the car is in good shape I would have it towed to a shop if its worth it to you . This could become costly because if the price is too high to fix then you'd spend another $100+ towing it back to your location .

You might want to try calling your mechanic and ask them . Does the engine turn over at all ? If it overheated then you may have seized the engine , which in anycase I would donate . There isn't much of a demand for cars with seized engines =) If you go through the right charity(and there are many) you could get a pretty nice tax write off and they're supposed to come and pick the vehicle up for free .

Nina , if you have any more questions then please feel free to ask . Sorry about your misfortune .

Don't forget to rate my response to you .
