If you're not going to part out the car, and willing to let it go for $500, it sounds as though you've already made up your mind. Sometimes it's good to let things go because the effort to deal with it is greater than any money you might get. If you just need money, do what you need to do. You have a buyer. If not, then do SOMETHING to get more than $500. If you're smart enough to be HERE, you're smart enough to catch more on your misfortune.
