I recently bought a used 96 Mazda protege LX 1.5L for $750. My other car was on an insurance lapse and I needed a quick fix for 90 days.
Upon inspection of the Protege I found out that it needed new break pads, rotors, both lower front ball joints, a different break line, new A/C compressor bearings, and a new exhaust system, Plus, the check engine light is on.
I didn't know much about cars at the time and realize now that buying this vehicle was one of the most least thought out decisions I have made in my life. I have thought about repairing some of the problems, but I don't have the money and it would be more than $750. I looked up what I could do with the vehicle, but I want to try and make some money off of it.
I read that I could 1. Recycle the car, 2. Junk it, 3. Donate it, or 4. Try and sell it.
I don't think it would be right to sell this vehicle to someone with all the problems, unless they wanted to fix it themselves... which I am not sure they would do.
What could I do to make some money off of this vehicle? A couple hundred dollars would great
Oh and my inspection is up at the end of April, and my other car is back on the road now. So I can't drive the protege much longer... legally at least. I need to try and get rid of it as soon as I can while making some money off it

Wouldn't I have to take the parts out myself? I don't have the equipment or knowledge for that.
