Selling a faulty car

First and foremost it's not my interest to rip off anyone in this
world. However I have a 1997 KIA Sephia with 100,000 miles, a ruined
transmission, no battery, no speakers and faulty cosmetic appearances.
I am seeking some good advice as to how to get the most money out of
this situation, and I imagine the dealer won't be the best bet. Let
me know what you know.

You'd probably get more if you sold it for parts.

Have you thought about donating it? It would be worth something as a
write off and most donation places don't care if they are running or
not.

And if you donated it to a vocational-technical school, or
to a high school with an auto shop, its not being in running
condition might even be seen as an asset.

If he had a votech school nearby, they would fix the transmission for
him at the cost of parts, but on their timetable. Then he could sell
it as a driver with more value. That's how the schools work here
anyway.
