What to do with my old car?

[jcholewa]

So I will be getting a new car soon. My old '99 Nissan Altima runs pretty well, but it has some problems and isn't worth spending money for the inspection. Here's the list, in order of decreasing severity

Craigslist...just be honest what's busted on it. I've heard my car has some value on e-bay as a parts car.

I looked at the Yaris this week, what's your opinion of the Altima? That 5K difference for both base cars is hard to ignore.

The one I have was hopelessly and continuously abused and kept on trucking (well, "carring" I guess). The new car my parents want to get is an Altima, even though they've never had a Nissan before, to my recollection.

That said, on my model at least, the horn is crap, the footroom isn't optimal for my comfort, and there's a tiny delay between pressing the gas and feeling the oomph. But overall it's treated me well.

Any idea of the cost for the needed repairs?: I know at least two people who could *really* use a working car, but do not have much money.

That's why I was asking specifically for people who could fix it up. I have no idea.

Hey there!

If you still have the car, donating is a good way to get a tax write off. They valued my old old car at $500 and told me that if it got more than that, I would get a new verification letter. I didn't expect any more (and was correct). But you may get yours valued as more.
