Default Getting rid of my old car... (how?)

Now that I'm driving my audi, I have my old car kicking around that won't even start, that I really need to get rid of to free up the space in the driveway. I heard I might even be able to get a few bucks for the POS just for the parts. I'm in the Niagara Falls area, so if anybody knows of a company to call, or what to look for when looking up companies, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Karim

A wrecker will probably take it away for you, but for nearly no money. So shop around. An ad on Craigslist costs nothing and you can specify the sale "as is" (i.e. not safetied or whatever). Also some charities will come and get it and take it away in exchange for a tax receipt.

Charity for sure, and you get a good warm feeling knowing you helped someone out

Yeah, it doesn't start anymore (from sitting dormant in the driveway for over a month). It's a 1995 Purple Chevy Cavalier, covered in rust, with over 270 000 kms on it. From my understanding of charitable auto donations, they take fixer uppers that have the potential to fix and resell at a profit in order to benefit from the vehicle donation. I think this vehicle is beyond that point. I'd donate it to charity in a heart beat, but I doubt it'll fly.
