best way to get rid of car, '89 Celica

[Monza]

Righto, my beloved wee Celica is no longer use to me and I need to get rid of it. It has 135km on the clock and the engine runs fine but will need some work to pass a WOF. The 4WS light has come on, and last time this happened it cost me $800 to fix, just don't think it is worth fixing this time.

Should I just stick in on trademe with $1 reserve? It's at my parents atm, will try and get some pics soon, as it has a dent in the back (was like that when I bought it 3 years ago).

Maybe someone here wants it for parts?

Take the bulb out then throw it on trademe for $1 n/r as-is-where-is.

Not worth it, "as is where is" means jack sh*t when its a private sale. Taking the bulb out is intentionally misleading someone...trust me you can get done for it...

Just take it to a Turners DVA branch, they'll sell it for free and give you all proceeds...Better than the car coming back to you if anything goes wrong.

Either that or declare all knows faults and stick on Trademe for $1 reserve...

Set fire to it, then push it off a cliff Maybe not the most financially rewarding option, but it'll give you a bit of fun

check your power steering fluid before you do any thing it could be that simple.

lol make sure there's nothing at the bottom of the cliff though

Not a bad idea either, some fuel, matches and a mineshaft should do it

do what happened at Wanaka last new years and charge people to smash it up.. but then you mite create the same sceen that was there where cops got assaulted and the fire truck gets over run.

haha, I've become an expert over the years on what can cause the 4WS light to come on, checked the power steering fluid ages ago...

Looks like I'll do the $1 reserve 'as is, where is' thing on trademe. Pretty sure the battery has died and one tyre has gone flat... oh and someone backed into it when it was parked and broke an indicator... I might be lucky to reach reserve....

[rollaholic]

where are ya?

defintely will sell for $1!

[Monza]

I'm in Auckland but the car atm is at my parents in Orewa... might try and get it over here to make it easier to sell...

[RED TOP MR 2]

people will remove it for free if your that desperate.look in the phonebook

[Jdawg]

pick a part give you $50, make that your reserve

[Monza]

yeah, just having a nosey on trademe, going to cost me $35, so reserve will be at least that, cheers.

or..... you can list it as a car being wrecked, whole car available "this auction is for a wheel nut" type auction .... then its charged on commission, so unless it goes for over 500 it should save you money.

[rollaholic]

dont list it under cars, list it under parts!

Pull a phat drift in front of a cop and let them dispose of it

Nah, may be of use to someone as parts. Surely someone would be looking for an engine for one.

maybe this could help

Doesn't work... did something similar when I was 18 (young, dumb etc) and got a careless use of a motor vehicle charge and a $200 fine...

[Mr Revhead]

things have changed!

do that now and you get more time than you would if you stabbed some one
