I have a 95' mazda 626 that belonged to my sister. It is not working. Don't have time to figure out what is wrong- too many projects. I have the title. Car has some dents and some rust- body is rough. Has leather interior. I need to clear my driveway. What are my options to get rid of it and make a few $$$$$$$ ?

I'm tryin to figure this out too..
I have a 91 crx with a fully body kit/ i.h.e d16 that is not running, needs to clear the driveway. One option I know of is to donate, but thats only for a small tax write off.

If the thing really sucks then you can bash it. I know some people that got a spot at a local fair and took the car out there. The charged people money to hit it with hammers, bats, sledges and made a killing off of it. Apparently people like hitting cars with stuff.....

reconnect your starter wire under the dash and it should start up

Do you have a free newspaper in your area? Here in SoCal we have the Penny Saver who'll post free ads for peeps. Maybe you can sell it "as is".

EBay Motors, and have it listed as a local sale where the winner needs to pick it up.
