Never been faced with this problem before. 1991 Ford Explorer. Technically, it runs. Realistically, it doesn't. So let's just say it needs to be towed away. It's currently sitting at my house.
One charity I called told me I need to get it appraised first (which I'd have to pay for). The appraisal would probably cost about the same as the car's worth. :)
Suggestions?

I craigslisted a broke car. $300. Same as if you scrap it.
Craigslist, then donate some money to charity if you want.
Or buy a gun, or parts, or ammo, or reloading goodies, or.....Quote:

Our grandson wrecked two cheap hoopties, and I wish I'd had the patience to Craigslist them instead of selling them to scrappers for $50.

Could donate it to the NRA

You can donate it to the NRA. Honest, you can. The have a whole page in the latest edition of American Riflemen on how to do it.
What's wrong with it....?
Thanks for the help; to keep a long story short, it's someone else's car that happens to be at my house and they now live in AZ, so they get first pick of where it goes. If their first pick doesn't pan out (and if they really want an appraisal, that's a deal breaker), I'll try their second choice and then it'll go to the NRA.
What's wrong with it? It's old, 1991 I believe. Was running when it was parked about 10 years ago, about five years ago drove 100' it to where it's located now. Didn't run well, and that's an understatement.

Yes, I have their signed title. :)
You could give it to NPR. They're always talking about car donations.
