Default Best way to dispose of a wrecked Camaro?

My mother recently wrecked her 1997 Camaro 3.8L (damaged drvierside front area) and only had liability coverage. Anyway after assesing the damage it appears that the frame is slightly tweaked where the rear bolt of the crossmember attaches to the frame. There's other stuff that's damaged too like the fender, bumper, and headlight assembly but nothing that's hard to fix or replace.

Anyway since repair cost will be about what it's worth, what's the best way to get rid of the car while getting the most $$$ for it?

So sorry to hear this and hope your Mom's O.K. I guess if you're not in a hurry to get rid of it, you could run it locally. I don't know about junk-yards...they'd prob just say that they'll haul it off for you for free. I know there's a place near me that buys & re-sells wrecked cars...maybe there's one around you.

I would say a junk yard. They're probably not going to give you much for it but they'll definitely take it off your hands.

If you want to try and recoup some money on it, part it out. What you don't sell, you can offer it up to the junkyard for scrap.

HOW ABOUT THE TITLE!

go to copart.com, it does not mater if the tittle is salvage, or other BUT has to have the magic word "title"... instead of CERTIFICATE OF DESTRUCTION.
IT WILL FETCH GOOD MONEY
