Recycles dryer sheets
Over the weekend I was in a freeway collision which has probably sent my 10-year-old car to the big wrecking lot in the sky. Fortunately no persons were injured. Since I don't carry collision coverage on the car (was only worth a few thousand), I'm guessing I have to find an independent auto shop to assess the damage. I'm guessing it won't be worth the repair cost, and I'm also not sure I'd trust the car for safe driving again even after repairs, due to the extent of the damage.
So far, the options for getting rid of the old car seem to be:
1) scrap yard
2) donate to charity (although so far most online car donation sites seem to want intact cars)
3) sell to private party for small amount.
4) try to fix with own money and sell/donate afterwards.
5) trade in to dealer for new car (which I'm planning on buying anyway)
Am I overlooking any options? Any suggestions appreciated, as well as any other tips for handling the aftermath of an accident.
