I'm giving up on the idea of getting my old E36 back into working order and I want to sell it. You know the story; couldn't pass inspection, parked the car until I had the time and money to work on it, and it stayed parked for way too long. So now that I have a car that needs work to even crank it, what are my options to get rid of it?

1. Post on Craigslist/E36 forum
2. Sign over title
3. ...
4. Profit Get rid of car

If it's in just absolutely terrible shape you could sell it (barely) to a junkyard. Actually, as a last resort I'd get rid of it this way:

I was actually thinking I could get more money by parting out a few of the more expensive parts and then selling to a junk yard. But its stored about 100 miles away from me, and I work 7 days a week. So that doesn't work.

parting a car is like trying to sell it over and over again until you finally throw it in the trash

just offer it up for the bare minimum on CL and be done with it

learn from this.

give it to a LeMons team

perhaps C&D would take it

Ill give you 300 for it

Might at least take off the Bilsteins/H&Rs and sell them, they have zero miles on them. Then I'll entertain those $300 type offers.

Btw I'm serious with that offer. Take off that after market stuff. As long as I can drag it on a roll back it's all good

How long has it sat and what was the problem causing it to fail inspection?

5/11/2013 12:17:53 PM

Probably more than 3 years.

Was putting that m50 manifold on when inspection was due and kept getting cel. Couldn't have an out date of inspection/tag car parked in the apt lot so I parked it at my dad's house. He was cranking and driving every week until he forgot and thus its sat in the car port for years.

are there not bmw forums or other local car forums you could list it on there? Would seem like the best thing to do before throwing it up on craigslist.
