I had a 1990 Olds 98 car. We had bought it when it was only two years old. It was the Sunday go to meeting car for years. Then when I remarried she used it to go to work as her car was newer. Then when the AC stopped working ten years ago I just started to drive it as a parts go getter car. I used it like a pickup. If it would fit in the trunk/back seat/roof it got hauled. This car had the good 3800 motor. it just ran great and got mid twenty fuel mileage even short hopping it.
Two years ago I decided to just quit driving it as I was not putting many miles on it. I advertised it for $500. It would have made someone a great work car. Every single person that called tried to get me to take $300-400 for the car. I told them all NO. I had $500 firm in the ad. Most wanted a new car for scrap price. Finally just forgot the ad. The grand kids ran the hell out of it on the farm learning how to drive in the pasture. This last winter one of the grand kids hit a tree with it. (Long story, they where chasing a coyote trying to run it down and hit a tree. The air bags still worked. Two black eyes to the kids) So I loaded it up and hauled it to the scrap yard. I did not remove the wheels or the battery nothing just loaded it. It brought $475 for scrap.
So if you have a cheap old car/truck, see what it weights. It might be worth more for scrap than you think.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
