Donate / Scrap / or ???
 

Our 20 year old Trooper has developed a case of 'water in the oil' ... Cost of rebuilding engine in parts alone exceeds the value of the truck [ assuming it's something as simple as a head gasket ] [Also the teenage son drove the truck with basically no coolant... so something is probably warped]

So the question is for anyone that has put an old vehicle out to pasture... did you donate or scrap ? It's currently leaking various fluids in front of the house... so I need to do something quick.

And please... no Joe Isuzu Memes !

DAMIT thats why I came here.


Well since I cant post a meme, I say donate it to the kidney foundation

Fill it with coolant, take it off road jump it wreck it donate it.

OMG where is the FT-86 Top Gear guy when we need him this would be perfect for his trip!!

Donate. Not like you are going to get anything for it. Don't know about there but here if you donate you get a tax receipt worth way more that you would get for scrap.

that. hell most places just hand you a blank reciept around here lol

Also depends on the car. I would find it hard to justify claiming $5,000 bucks for a 20 year old car. I bet the value of that car isn't even worth $800. With that kind of deduction, it's not even worth it. Not sure what the junkers are paying now. But about 4 years ago, a junk yard paid me $300 for my 83' Rabbit. I guess metal prices was high at the time. A much bigger car could probably fetch more if prices are still inline.
