Selling My Car for Scrap Metal

I had an old car and was tired of paying for repairs and insurance. I ended up not driving very much- only a few hundred miles in the last year. When it came time to renew the tags I had to make a decision. Do I keep this car or get rid of it?

I really considered selling it as junk, for scrap metal. There are quite a few places and ads in the paper for selling your car. The ads say things like " We buy cars. Any Shape",etc.

I found it actually made more sense ( for me) to sell my car on eBay since it was running. It had a lot of problems, but was drivable. I thought maybe the scrap metal dealers would be able to offer me more, but it turns out I got a few hundred dollars more selling it to a driver.
