where can i get rid of a car thats blown up

I have a 98 ford windstar mini van... i'm assuming it's blown considering there is a hole in the oil pan... I got it with a bad noise to it, was trying to figure out where it was coming from with a stethoscope mechanic tool. literally 30 seconds after starting it the whole engine block oil pissed all over my drive way. The van itself is immaculate, just hit 100k i think and elderly owned... just damn engine needs replaced. i hate giving it to junkyard and having them clowns at ezpull get there hands on it and ruin it; would like to make some what of a profit off of it.

Still runs though but I shut it off before I did any worst damage to anything else.

I can post pics if anyones interested.

im in the same position as you man.. Not quite as bad but am staring down 5-6k worth of repairs ( if I were dumb enough to get nissan to do it ) on something that isnt worth it. Best bet is to list it on here, craigslist or sell it on ebay.. or part it out that way. IF.. I said IF i were to sell mine now, it would be as is no warranty with the list of repairs needed to be done ,of course you could always list it here I am sure someone needs a van.

I think most salvage yards will take it. Where's that "Tow Your Junk Cars For Free" add when you need it!?

HOW TO GET CASH FOR A JUNK CAR

Call our toll free number 1-888-416-2220 and tell us about the car. Does it run? What make is it? What year is it? Do you have the title? How soon do you need to get rid of it?

Typically, we can have it removed the same day, but sometimes, based on location, it may take up to 48 hours.

Why use other companies that want to tow away your car and CHARGE you for it? We never charge anything extra to remove your junk car.

What IS a junk car?

Is your car...

- 1999 or older

- 150,000 miles or more

- Not running?

- Damaged?

- Salvaged Title?

If you said YES to two of those five, your car is a junk car.

We also pay TOP DOLLAR for 2000 and newer cars, running or not! Call 888-416-2220 NOW to get a fast, free, no obligation offer!

Make the call today, or simply fill out the form and we will be in contact with you shortly.

junkyards wont give you much, probably like $200. best bet is craigslist. thats what i do with all my beaters that end up taking a crap. buy them for 600-800, then once they blow up, i sell them for 500 on craigslist.

Local scrapyards in my area are 14.50 a hundred. If they are the same in your area you should pull 500 plus if you have a way of getting it there.

Have at it... I will refuse to post this on craigslist again... people don't read the ad and ask if it runs and i tell them the issue even though everything was listed there.
