Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Hi everybody! I'm asking this question to this board, because somehow I've got the idea that it won't do me any good to ask it to the NYC-Goth mailing list. Go figure. But anyway... I've just given my car to my mom, because I can't afford the insurance and her car is falling apart. What I want to know is, could she possibly get a single penny for her old car, and if so, how does she do it? The old car is a 1991 Ford Aerostar minivan and it's beaten to hell. The long list of broken things includes both taillights, chronically; the starter, chronically; a huge dent in the door; the headlights often refuse to turn on and sometimes turn off while you're driving, and one of them is held on with - yes, duct tape. So, is there any possible way to get any money for this old heap? Whether in one piece or a thousand? Shop Goth. Shop S-Goth! Proud graduate of the FollowThisLogic adoption agency. >^..^< | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | Yeah, you probably could. But it isn't physical money, it is a reduction in taxes. Yes, you donate the car to a charity. I donated my 1985 Toyota Corolla and I got the blue book value reduced on my taxes. go to Kelly's Blue Book and find out how much you could get for it. This is how I did it but it was in Conn. You should call a state CPA to ask if this will work in your state.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | You could try selling it as is for $400 - $500...any running vehicle is worth that much. Or if you just want to get what ever you can, take it to a junk yard and they give ya like $100 bucks for it.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I wouldn't bet on it really being worth anything, but you might consider places like Autoland or whatever other places give you a guaranteed amount for a trade-in towards one of their new or used cars. Usually they advertise that no matter what condition it's in, you get the money - and I think it's usually $3000-4000. I don't think there would be a way to get any decent sum of money for it any other way - and of course the drawback is, you have to buy a new car.. heh...

O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | Well lookie lookie here...quote: Oh, i dunno... the last time you were here you were selling off your old goth wardrobe. It'd be nice if people actually came here to contribute once in a while other than "Help me!" or "I need a cd key serial # for my pirated software" etc.. etc.. Anyway, it was nice seeing you again. Do you still live in Journal Square? We recently found out that IkeaBoy is totally into Goth Chicks and we all have been giving a consertted effort into getting him laid to see if he likes the poon (we all think he is a flaming homo), you know any takers? I know how most goth people are laid back, but this will be a real challenge!! Oh, and see ya in another 4 months :) AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | is this the place for car questions? ok, when i brake or slow down sometimes, i stall out. i thought maybe it had something to do with the battery connections, but now i think it may be because the idle is too low (about 500rpms) any ideas? i've been dealing with it for about 6 months cos i'm scared of mechanics, do you think it'll cost a lot to fix? thank you for your time and attention to this matter... need me? try: [email protected] | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Something that small should be an easy fix for a mechanic who knows what they're doing, or doesn't know and has a Chilton's manual. Heh. "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me forever.." | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | How old is the car? If it has a carb. there should be a screw to adjust the idle. If it's fuel injected, I have no idea what to do. | ||||
