Should I sell my 2002 Dodge Stratus to a salvage dealer for 250 dollars?

Question

Its spraying oil, cutting off in the middleof the street and smoking. It will cost 4500 dollars to fix it. Which I dont have.

Answer 1

NO! Bad idea - Salvage dealer will resell body parts for $150- $200 a panel, transmission (if its still good) for $850 - $1000.

Think of how little they are giving you for such a great return on their part.

If you want to sell it, list it in the paper or online ad in your area, someone should realistically pay $1000 or so if the body is "excellent". You just have to realize that you may have to wait, sooner or later someone will wreck their stratus and need a new body. $1000 for a body to put an engine into is far cheaper than buying a new car.

Answer 2

NO!!!!!!!!! try diffrent places  its worth more in scrap iron than that

Answer 3

I wouldn't if I were you. You'll be ripping yourself off long-term.  

Answer 4

if i was you id run an add in a local auto trader and see if i could sell it this way, it will bring more than that for parts,and somone is always needing parts for a stratus,if you sell it for 250 you will be loosing a lot of money,that car will bring way more than that to someone needing good body parts ,i wouldnt sell it for less than 500 at the least and really thats still too cheap for that car,good luck with it.
