Just because the old family car has seen better days doesn’t mean it’s unusable. Even if it’s lost that new car smell and picked up some wear and tear, your car can still serve you well. In fact, you may even be able to use it as an external source of income. Here are three ways you can make good money off the old family car.
Uber or Lyft
One of the best ways to make money off your old car is to use it to drive for Lyft or Uber, the transportation services. While you may have a preference between the two services, there’s not much of a difference in regards to price and requirements.
Using your old family car to taxi people around town is an excellent way to make extra money. In addition to the money you make, you’ll also be able meet new people and visit places you might not normally go to.
Delivery
If driving people around isn’t something you’re interested in, you might consider transporting deliveries instead. There are tons of places who are looking for people to deliver their products.
Many restaurants are often looking for delivery drivers and likely offer flexible schedules. There are also services similar to Uber and Lyft made specifically for picking up and delivering food. You can use your car to deliver things from companies like Postmates, UberEats, or Door Dash. What’s more is that fast food isn’t the only thing you can deliver. You can deliver groceries, packages from Amazon and alcoholic drinks.
Sell the Car to a Junk Car Buyer
Finally, if it really has outlived its usefulness, you can sell it to one of many junk car buyers. Junk car buyers are people who pay money for your junk car. Junk car buyers will even take cars that are impossible to fix. So, if you have a car that no longer works and can’t be repaired, you can still get some money out of it. Depending on the car and the condition, they might repair it entirely and put it back on the market, but often they’ll sell the car’s parts individually
Old cars may not be in the same condition as they used to be, but they’re far from worthless. Even cars that are beyond repair can be useful, especially if you’re looking to make a bit of extra cash. So, before you bid the old family car adieu, consider using it as an external source of income first.
