    How is its AC?

    It's extremely easy to Donate Your Car to a charity nowadays. They pick it up. You get IRS documents, later.

    I did 90.1 KPFT Radio on my last sell. NPR is available, too.

    http://kpft.org/donate/vehicle/

    Most fairly well-known local non-profits will register with a DonateYourCar website now, who provide web services for the transaction. So, there should be a lot of options.

    Depending on location, I've had decent results with junk car services, normally get a couple hundred or more depending on the condition yr/model. If you're looking to make a lot more .... And you have the means and time... Parting it out on ebay/cl/local works well, but it can be a PITA. But that's where you'll get the most value.

    On a side note, how bad is the transmission? sometimes it's like a $40 part (like a solenoid etc) .. .of course you have to take it apart unfortunately.

    My mechanic says it is leaking while standing still
    Maybe some kind of crack somewhere.
    Which is why i don't want to sell to a person

    Selling to an individual is okay as long as you're honest. They might want a fixer-upper.

    A salvage yard would probably give you 200 to 400 dollars.

    Gotcha, yeah, you could try fixer upper listing to maybe get a buyer who knows what they're getting into. And with the make/Model might get lucky on getting more vs salvage/junk car
