NAC: Selling to junkyard?

[Pat Korach]

If you want to sell the car fast sell it to a wrecking yard.  This would
probably net
you the least amount of money.  If you have the time sell it through the
paper, buy and
sell, thrifty nickel.  This will  probably get you more money out of the
car.  How bad
was it hit?
