Compare Keeping, Selling, or Scrapping a Car You Inherited
The car is sitting on the drive, taxed and insured out of guilt more than need, and every option feels like a small betrayal of someone. This weighs keeping, selling, and scrapping side by side on cost, hassle, and how much the decision is really about the car at all.

**Compare** three options side by side:
1. Keeping and using the car: ongoing costs, insurance, what it means to drive it day to day
2. Selling privately or to a dealer: likely value, effort, timeframe
3. Scrapping it: when this is actually the sensible option, and what the process involves
For each option, weigh the financial cost, the emotional weight of the decision, and the practical hassle involved.
