re: How do I get rid of a car

Just have it towed. You don’t need a title.

Donate to charity or look on Marketplace for someone to haul it away. Folks that do it routinely ain't worried about no stinking title....
My niece burnt the transmission up in her first car cutting donuts in a friend's pasture....yes, we are certainly salt of the earth types. I was doing some street lighting adjacent to a mobile home park and there was the same make and model car sitting at one of the trailers that had been there a LONG time...it was green with mold and dirt. I knocked on the door and no one was there but the owner of the park was there and asked me what I wanted. I asked him about the car and he said it had been there over a year and the people who drove it had not been around since it was parked there. I asked him if it ran and he said it did when they parked it. I asked him what his plans were for it and he said he was waiting on them to come get it. I offered him $250 cash for it and suddenly his plans had taken a turn to selling the thing to me. I didn't even think to try to crank it, my plan was to take the transmission out of it and put it in the other one. When I got it back to my shop I decided to see if it would crank. A hot battery and some fresh fuel and it fired right up....and the odometer said it had a little over 13K miles on it. It was nasty BUT it was only dirty...mechanically it was sound as the pound. I cleaned it up and it was almost like new. I put the tag from my niece's car on it and she drove it for nearly 10 years without incident....renewing the tag every year. It eventually died a graceful death and a man came and got it and did not care a bit about any stinking paperwork. He took the other one with him as well.

Find an old quarry. They're filled with water and hundreds of feet deep. Just push it off the ledge.

Tow it to Tigerland and leave it. Riverside Towing will handle the rest.
On a serious note, you can call towing places and U-pull it type places and they'll come haul it off for nothing.

Park it outside your house on the skreet and say call non-emergency and say there is a nuisance car that has been parked outside for a week. They'll come tow it and when no one claims it, they'll auction it off.

Junk yards will pay you and haul it away as well...

Tow it to a parking lot. Have the tow rope accidentally fall off.
Alternately, push it out into the street and call the city to complain that it has been sitting there. Maybe they will tow it.

When Yahoo had message boards, I had a troll that posted this in a vintage car forum:
"My uncle parked a car in our barn and left it for years. Am I in trouble for having it towed off and scrapped? It had flat tires but was otherwise a nice looking car. Not sure what kind of car other than it was a Pontiac and it had a sticker that said "Judge"."
I posted it on April 1 but it took a while for someone to figure it out.

Take it to nola, leave the keys in it. Gone in 5 minutes. Call your insurance. Profit

The places that take donated cars for charities will pick it up without a title.
