    I was thinking $50 but when I was trying to fix it I couldn't outbid others on a totaled Prius that was in the paper for $1,000.

    Still, the engine in mine burns oil and has galled cylinders needing a new block to fix the oil problem. Wheel bearing is out. Converter pump is dead. Front is still not completely fixed after hit a deer, including smashed windshield. Even a taillight is broken. Interior isn't great. And the HV battery needs replaced. Dash doesn't work, nor does infotainment center. It drains the 12V battery quickly. One time I hooked the jumper cables backwards, so who knows what else I damaged. But I want to get rid of it this week.

    You'll have to pay to have it towed away. :(

    You're an adult male from the USA so I don't know what to tell you generally you call salvage buyers like lkq or others Mike on Facebook marketplace and they'll tell you over the phone just by the year make and model of car what they'll pay for it as scrap and then they come pick it up . Pretty simple .
