Always donate scrappable cars to your local fire department or heavy rescue department so they can drill on them by cutting them up. Any self respecting department will have gotten themselves listed as a charitable organization so you will still get a tax write off. And if you have a running car... give it to me! :-) Doesn't matter... once they hit the scrap yard, the existing title makes no difference. The car can be recovered via a "scrap" title, and then sold back out... it is just a messy, not easy ordeal... and 99% of junk yards aren't going to go thru the heartache when they can just sell the car in parts for more than the whole (and avoid ALL the paperwork)... or they will just crush it and sell it as scrap metal... also probably for more than selling the running car, and avoiding all the paper work. At least that is the understanding I have from the guy that takes the cars from my FD once we are done cutting them up. Maybe someone that works as a scrapper can confirm or deny my understanding (of course, this may very well also be a state by state kind of regulation). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
