What to do with junk car?
What to do with junk car? I have a 96 forc contour with 135,xxx miles that needs a new transmission. The transmission cost more than the car is kbb'ed at.
I know no one will buy this car, so what should I do with the car to make some money off it?

If the trans works at all I am interested. I run enduro/ figure 8 races at Seekonk and am looking for cars for next season. Prefer full size rwd v8 but beggars cant be choosers. I can pick up.

Here's a 2nd vote for donating the car for a tax write off. I have a 98 Ford Contour with 165,xxx on the odo. Car still runs nice. I did replace the tranny though. 
But I haven't had any other major issues with it. I do need a hub cap!! I haven't had a chance to pick one up to replace the one I lost on the potholed streets of Boston!

when i was in college, some of the fraternities would have a 'car bash' event. get an old car, and give a bunch of freshmen axes, sledgehammers, etc and beat the **** out of it!!! soooooo much fun! 
you could always see if the local gun range wants to buy it for target practice!!

Donate it gets my vote, I donated my jeep it now is a ambulance for injurded wild life so if you ever see a red tail hawk with a broken wing flopping about a black XJ will come to save it.

I was actually planning on putting all the stickers from the **** I bought for the camaro on the contour, and riggin up a bunch of **** (coffee can exhaust, making a big wing.) But the second trans in 2 yrs died on me b4 I got a chance
Never thought of donating as a tax write off, I'll look into that. About the junkyard buying it, I dunno hwere I'd start. I used thge car as more or less a trash can and transportation to and from KFC. I mean I can clean the trash out, but I don;t think that chicken smell is ever comin out.
get a junkyard tranny, and donate it somewhere. My grandmother donated her total peice of **** 82 plymouth reliant to the local pigs in my town. You couldn't sell that for $400, yet she got a $1600 tax write off for it. Used it as an 'undercover car' for a few weeks till it finally died. Haven't seen it since.
