If you have a low-value vehicle that you do not want or can not sell, you may need to find a way to safely and legally dispose of it. These are three options to consider if you need to dispose of a junk vehicle.

Even if your vehicle does not run, you may be able to find a charity that is willing to take it off your hands. Many charity organizations sell donated vehicles to salvage yards or junk vehicle buyers and then use the proceeds to fund their charitable activities. This option allows you to do something good for the community while getting rid of your unwanted vehicle and getting a tax write-off. 

3. Trade It in

If your vehicle still has some value, you may be able to use it as a trade-in on a new vehicle purchase. Even dealers who do not sell older model used cars may be willing to accept low-value trades as an enticement to get you to buy. Keep an eye out for dealerships offering “push, pull or drag it in,” type promotions. You may be able to get a higher than usual offer for your junk vehicle.
