Need Suggestions - What do I do with my crumpled car...

About 2 weeks ago I was in an accident and my car got crumpled. It's driveable (I drove it from White Plains to Long Island).

I don't need it anymore -- we have a brand new Accord.

The car did what it was supposed to. The hood smushed in a bit , the bumper is attached but bent and the fan makes a funny sound when it idles.

Is there anywhere to take it? It was worth more to me than the car was worth, but since I don't need it anymore and I was wondering where I could sell it/ get the best price for it...I know people soup up old Honda's and maybe the car could be used for parts.

It's a 1994 Honda Accord LX, 95,900 miles, was in very good condition (until the fender bender) Maroon, and now has Sirius radio installed in it.

If anyone has ideas, pls. let me know -- maybe someone would want to fix it (I don't want to)...
Thanks for letting me know!

I don't know about selling it, but maybe you could donate it to a charity and use it towards next years taxes?

I sent you an FM, my husband may be interested in purchasing it from you. He owns an auto body business.

thanks all!
no i wasn't hurt and the person i hit had no damage to his car. he was very nice about it and i got his life's story by the time the police showed up.

he stopped short b/c a person in a souped up car stopped short in front of him -- of course, the suped up car drove away!

the car is only material -- i'm okay!

Put it on Ebay - Start bidding off at $200 and take it from there

You will sell it
