Most require title, or they will only give you 25$ no title.

Part it out and then cut the ramaining car into smaller parts and take it to a metal recycling shop. They will give you roughly 3-4 cents a pound. Not too much, but atleast it gets rid of it for you. But you have to cut it up or they will require a title as well.
