give you $200 for the whole thing as is.

Sounds like OB's offer is just as sound as his "inexpensive" engine replacement advice

Part out the car then donate what's left of it...lest it is a bare shell or missing large body panels, but even then it worth a try You automatically receive a minimum of $500 tax deduction for any donated car, so unless you ABSOLUTELY need that $200 in cash...you will be leaving $300 on the table in the long run (plus the taxes you will pay on the personal sale of the vehicle).

I think we were going to try and get at least $500 if it was the whole thing. We were planning on parting it out, but the donating would be a good thing. There are a couple out there that we could get behind.

Yup. I would agree with that plan. The important thing to check is a charity's vehicle donation guidelines. Some can require them to be smog-ed, registered, running, no major accidents, etc...i.e. pretty much defeating the purpose of donating

For example, I know Kars 4 Kids will take a vehicle regardless of condition as long as you have the title.

EDIT: Also make sure whatever charity you choose is 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
