anyone in the Seattle area?

My daughter is looking for a recommendation for disposing of a Honda Element. The transmission has failed and it will cost more to repair than she wants to spend. It is located near University Medical Center. title is clear just looking for someone to haul it off.

I did a google search and it looks like most salvage/wrecking yards are in the south Seattle area

You might post on Craigslist or somewhere like it a “Free to good home” ad detailing the issues and see if anyone wants it. Or donate it to a local charity. They usually pick up free and you get a very small amount off your Federal taxes.

Sounds like she is going to contact the American cancer society.

The main concern for me would be that whoever picks it up the title is taken out of your name.

I know Washington titles did have a portion of the title you would remove and send it in when the vehicle changed owners .... I heard recently there was a change to the Washington title ..... now it will cost someone $13 to send it in ..... I do not know the details, just that there were changes.

 

Nothing worse then 3 years later getting a tow bill for a abandoned car that you are the last known registered owner.

You are now liable for the tow & the storage of the stripped out shell of a vehicle abandoned on the side of the road.

 

If a charity outfit picks it up you are probably pretty safe .... If it is a private individual .... it is tough to trust them to do the right thing.

I Keep the plates off the car...and yes I go to the Washington state DMV and pay the hoser $10.00 fee  ($13.00?) proving I sold the vehicle and to who.

You cannot be too careful selling/donating cars these days.

Been a long time since I have lived in WA. Watched a video the other day where Waylon who lives in Eastern WA sold a truck and shipped it to Ohio.

The old legal title said for the seller to fill in this portion and send it in to Olympia to release interest in vehicle ...... This is how it use to be done.

 

When the new owner took the title to Ohio dmv to change it over, they would not accept the title because it had been altered by removing the sellers report?

So Waylon had to go down and file for a replacement title .... He said it was $13 to release his interest in it. ..... New ways to collect tax revenue.
