call those pull your own parts junk yards, depending on how popular it is and what the condition of the still good parts are such as engine, tranny, and doors, you could get anywhere from $200 without a title to up to maybe as high as $800 for it and they will come pick it up.

if i were you i would try to sell it first yourself since whatever the parts value is the junk yard will only want to give you maybe 1/3rd of that

If she was able to drive it away, then it is certainly worth more than a few hundred dollars. I would try to sell it outright before junking it.

I recently posted a vehicle on Craigslist as wrecked. CoPart called me in ten minutes to buy the vehicle at my asking price..

What you'll get from a junk yard will all depend on the condition of the car. Is glass still good, are fenders, doors, trunk, quarterpanels relatively free of dents, was the interior cared for as far as seat condition, door panels etc.

If the car was a rolling POS before she wrecked it, it will be worth less than if well cared for.

If you're in Louisiana, the very FIRST thing you do is surrender the plate and registration to the DMV. If you don't, they will begin fining the shite out of you on the 11th day without insurance coverage.
