need to junk my car

So I have this car that I just need to sell off to a salvage yard or something. I've gotten a couple quotes that are ok for a couple hundred dollars.

I'm just curious if anyone here has junked anything in Charlotte, and if there are any of these yards I should avoid or one that pays better? I've called several and I'm probably not missing anything, but if anyone knows of anything to avoid like the plague or something, I'd appreciate a heads up.

Car still runs and everything, it's just a cheap ass car that was in a fender bender and is now not worth fixing.

2000 mazda protege, bout 115k miles. the paint's in great condition and all, starts and drives fine. hit some lady going like 25-30 and the front basically exploded lol. I mean, the hood's bashed in a bit, and i bent the radiator, so it leaks coolant. Also, knocked a hole in whatever does the AC.. all my juice ran out.

The fronts bent up, so I mean... the damage was more than the car's worth. Thinking about the kidney foundation, tbh. Best offer I have had is ~300

If my memory serves me right (donated last year) the smallest tax deduction you can get is $600. Which is what I got for my 1992 accord that no longer ran.

Newer mazda might get more, but you won't know until they send you your receipt.

You ought to get with someone from one of those causes, and setup a car-bashing thing to raise money... Charge people to pick up some sort of implement like a sledge hammer or a baseball bat to take a few whacks at it to let off some steam...

Once you are finished, sell the car to a scrap metal place and give that money to the charity too...

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
