Do I call a dealer or a wrecker?

I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey. There was nothing wrong with it when I stopped driving it 2 years ago. Since then the battery went flat, the tyres have gone flat (two probably need replacing). It is deregistered. I don't have the money to re-register, do warrant and replace the tyres and battery. Should I advertise to see if anyone wants it or is this something you call a wrecker for, for parts? Thanks for your advice

Dollar reserve it. Wreckers arent particularly interested in stuff that old, if it's got a good motor or trans in it someone may be interested in it for spares.

If you can have it running when you put it up for sale, so much the better!

Pump the tyres up get it running and advertise it on here or you will virtually pay to have it taken aeay

Yep, by not putting the registration on hold when it ran out you have turned a $2000 car into scrap. Only way to get some value back is to make sure it runs by jump starting battery and making car drivable for potential purchasers.

I had two cars picked up by the scrap last week, one minus motor & one minus almost everything, was just a bare shell & got $175 the pair. Clean & easy except the Glass made a mess as the grab thing picked it up but i was ready for that.

Do you mind telling me who you called please?

Yes, I didn't know about that option and it was really far behind in registration fees. Thanks.
