    Need advice regarding my car

    Ok, my car runs flawlessly... the quality stops there and otherwise it is pretty much a piece of crap. Next month, my piece of crap is coming due for the ridiculously expensive Japanese Compulsory Insurance, which is $1,000-2,000 (depending on how it does at inspection) that I have no desire to blow on a car that I'm only going to need until November.
    So.... I need to get rid of my car before the end of August. I think that I have three options:

    1) pay the fee to have it hauled off to a junk yard and avoid paying JCI

    2) find a poor sap who might be willing to give me a few hundred bucks for it

    3) stick on a sign for "Free Car" and see who bites

    The front windows don't work, the antenna is missing, the A/C is nice and cold if it's COLD outside the key doesn't work in the passenger door and 50% of the time you can't even get the passenger door open from the inside.
    BUT, the engine is perfect, the tires are less than 2 years old, the brakes are perfect, and it has spectacular pick up....

    What should I do???

    Sell it!!! It's better than paying someone to haul it away for you, and at least around here there are always young, broke college students looking for a cheap car.

    Good luck with it though

    unfortunately there aren't many poor college students here on an overseas military base Maybe a poor high schooler who just needs a vehicle to get them to work?

    Sell it. If it's got a great engine, good brakes and tires, you may get lucky and sell it to someone who likes to tinker around on cars in their spare time so the other quirks won't matter much.

    If it gets too close to the time for the JCI, then junk it. But give it a shot selling it first!

    Sell "as is" to a GI. They're just about as broke as college students.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.
