"I'm considering selling my car for scraps and need advice on how to do that. I'll try to provide brief context but the car does have quite the history while under my ownership. I spent $4 grand buying my car, a 2013 Chevy Cruise, from a coworker and another $200 to get it repaired multiple times because either the guy sold it to me broken or it started to break the minute the title was in my name.

All of these issues revolve around the same area the AC. A couple of months ago I took the car to get looked at when the AC first broke. I had asked the mechanic if the car needed Anti-freeze and he said no. Fast forward a week and the car breaks down on the side of the road, I have it towed back to my house where it sits for weeks a constant mocking reminder of the money I sunk into it.

Well last Friday I finally had time to get in contact with a different auto-care guy and he asked about the anti-freeze, this lead me to discover that the Anti-freeze/coolant tank was empty and had been this whole time. That first mechanic was wrong the car would have been perfectly fine if I had just put coolant in the dang tank. After filling the coolant tank I have taken the car out on a few test drives to see how it runs. And it was running fine... until yesterday.

I was putting coolant in the tank before I left for work and I had made the mistake of forgetting to put lid back on. This caused the car to break down in the middle of the road halfway through my drive to work. Thankfully I managed to get my car moved into a gas station parking lot, where I called a tow truck.

So this whole thing with the lid combined with the fact I had driven my car for a week with no coolant caused my motor/engine to break and apparently I had nearly blown a head gasket. The repairs needed for my car are well more than I can afford. Which is why I would like to scrap it seeing as how all of the other parts are still working perfectly.

The auto-shop had offer me $500 for the car but I said no because I knew once they fixed it up they could sell it for at least $4 grand. like I said it's a perfectly working car once you fix all the issues listed above.

I know that it's wishful thinking to believe I'll recoup all my loses back but if anyone deserves to make any money off this car now it is me. I just don't know how to go about doing that. Any suggestions?"
