Call them for details though.
They would be buying it for parts, and or scrap metal. By buying it I mean they'll haul it off and on the very high side give you $200, and it sounds more like a $50 car with all the mold indicating the interior is crap along with the motor, so body parts is all there really is to salvage. You do need the title to scrap a car.
they want it for the parts they don't care how it runs
Yeah, junk it. After sitting that long, with those problems, it IS junk.
Depends on what is already in their inventory.
I know that pick and pull will buy a car that isn't running but I'm wondering if they have any limitations. It is a 1999 Mercury Cougar 2.5l v6. First off I had to stop driving the car because I had a bad oil leak I wasn't aware of and ran it dry. The engine started knocking very loudly and I was told that it wouldn't last much longer. I also had a problem with it dying when I would come to a stop. I never found out what this was because there was no point once I found out the engine was toast. After I got my new car I let it sit for a year and there were bad seals and the car started growing tons of mold on the inside and there is a decent amount of spiders in there. I'm wondering if they will take a car in this condition, roughly how much I might get for it, and whether you think it would be worth it for me to clean the mold and spiders out to maybe increase the value. Also let me know if you think it might be more worth it to just junk the car and save myself the hassle of cleaning it. Thank you in advance for any answers. Any information is helpful.
