What all to take from a car before a junkyard hauls it away?

I am, of course talking about parts of the car itself, not the license plates and personal effects.

The car is a 2002 Daewoo Lanos. It is being junked because the engine failed (the cylinder head cracked), and I decided to buy a different vehicle instead of replacing the engine.

When it broke down, the car had a new battery (literally only a month old) and I disconnected the terminals so it wouldn’t go bad. I’m planning on keeping that, as well as the metal hold-down clamp, since the other car I bought is missing the clamp. I put premium speakers into the car, and I plan on pulling those. I may actually keep the factory stereo as well, since it fits other models.

Anything else worth keeping? I put a new starter in this car a year ago, which would also fit the Chevrolet Aveo and certain other models. Unsure if it’s worth the effort to pull that. I also put a new rear oxygen sensor on this car last year, unsure how universal these are. The car has a nearly full tank of fuel, and at today’s prices it might make sense to try and pump that out. Anyone know of a low-cost siphon pump which would work for that purpose? Anything else worth taking before the scrap yard gets it?

Let it go!

I don’t see Daewoo car parts as hot items on E bay or Craigs list.

just donate it to your local npr-affiliated radio station and be done with it

The ENTIRE car, complete with battery, starter and speakers

Don’t waste time trying to siphon gas out of the tank

Don’t make it any more complicated than it has to be

Do you have another vehicle right now that needs that exact battery? Do you have a way to store it and keep it charged?

Do you have another vehicle that can immediately use those premium speakers? They’re usually vehicle specific.

Do you have a safe way to drain the gasoline out of the car? Do you have a way to store the gasoline? If the tank was full, you might be talking 10-15 gallons of gasoline. Which wants to explode, by the way.

Totally agree with the other comments to let the car go.
