Hey guys, I'm  looking to get rid of a very used, barely running 1998 Honda CR-V that our family no longer uses. I don't want to deal with sketch people from Craigslist. So anyone recommend a reputable company or organization who will come tow it away and maybe throw some cash my way (so I can buy ammo of course  )?

Thanks in advance.

In my experience, they don't want it unless it's running and they can easily auction it. Recycle steel prices are too low so most people just abandon their cars on the side of the road and claim that it was stolen. It has become a real problem lately.

No cash your way, but a tax deductible donation. I have donated clothes and items to this organization but not a vehicle:

They will take your vehicle running or not.

If it isn't running, the best deal is to donate to Kidney cars IMO.

As long as there's no mold or water damage in the interior, they normally take them. I had one car the windshield must have developed a leak, but for a $100 donation from me, they took it.  The cash offset any costs of dealing with mold.

All donations are tax deductible, and unless the car is higher than $500 in value, that's the max you can claim.  I also claimed the additional $100 cash I donated.

It saves you towing fees junking it. Whether it runs or not, they pick it up with a tow truck. Driving it to their office wastes your time and creates an inconvenience for you getting a ride back home.

I've donated 3 cars.  Go to the website and fill out the donation form. As long as the title is clear (no liens) and in your name, it should be easy.  They don't care if it has current registration or inspection, but they do ask if they are current.

You can sign and mail the title to them, after which they schedule a pickup time. They will also send the top portion of the title to the DMV to notify them of the transfer if you wish.

Three cars donated.  Good for them, good for me, and avoids the hassle of advertising to sell/junk it yourself.

It's for a good cause, too.

This caveat prevented me from donating my last car to Kidney cars.  Not sure if it'd apply to the CR-V.  I found one of the towing companies on craigslist that did pick up my car for free.  I don't see their ad anymore though.

 *For Oahu, due to overriding market conditions, a $100 tow fee will be assessed for all American made cars over 15 years old.


Can also turn it into the city and they will tow away but I heard it can take several weeks for them to pick up once you turn in the paperwork to a satellite city hall.
