Stefan asked:

Im trying to sell a junk car that the title was stolen from. I called the scrap yard and it came back as a surrendered title and they can't buy my car. Any idea what a surrendered title is?

Matt asked:

My car has lived a long 200,000 mile life. Unfortunately, things don't last for ever. Especially transmissions =p.

I have a 1997 Toyota Avalon. A bit of rust. and a few dents and dings.

So, If i were to junk my car, how much could i get for it…. roughly?

And (this question is very very very rough) if i were to sell my car to a used car dealership, roughly how much could i get?

Me asked:

I have a 97 saab. It looks great but it's been having lots of mechanical problems lately. I've put in 2 new direct ignition cassettes (and now it needs a third), I've put on new tires, a new main ignition relay. According to the dealer, it needs a vacuum hose and a speed sensor as well as the direct ignition cassette. But who knows…there could be more.

Anyways, I posted it on craiglist for $3450..the estimated private value is $4985. I had a few people interested in it. I feel guilty even thinking about selling it someone. If I just show them the problems the dealer found, and they still want to buy it, should I sell it?

gstep50 asked:

About 2 wks ago my car just cut off while i was driving. I try everything to get it going but to no avail. A mechanic looked at it and said the block is cracked, also prior to this breakdown the transmission started slipping. The car has 136k miles on it. other than that the car has no body damage at all and the interior is excellent no rips or tears . Now my question is should I sell this car as is to someone who can maybe fix it or just call the junkyard. What would be my most profitable solution? The tags are good until 2009

Elephant Droppings asked:

My friend bought some farmland in New Hampshire, and there are at least a dozen 50 year old cars sitting in his woods that he'd love to sell-(They have been there for decades)- Collectors or restorers could use the cars to rebuild, or as parts.

Here is the problem- there is no paperwork for the cars-With no title for the cars (even though they are on his land and have been so for years), can he legally sell them? How can he get titles for the junked cars so he can sell thm?

Should I junk the MX5 Mazda Miata?

Two Boomboxes asked:

There is oil and water mixed in the oil pan. The milkshake and the engine starts up but runs very rough when idle. I think the head is messed up.

I have owned the MX5 for a few years and it has run excellent until now. It is the basic MX-5–no AC, needs paint. The car, when running was worth 1600.00. The mechanic says I need to get the head fixed which would cost around 900.00. Need advice—-should I sell the car for parts/junk it or get the motor fixed? Is an engine swap an option?

I own a few cars, and I drive the Miata to save gas and because it can be a fun drive. Don't really want to get rid of it. If I do, I may look for another.

Any advice would be helpful. Junk it or get it fixed?

PS It is a 92 Miata with 112,000 miles.
