A car is not only a means of transportation, but also a whole tangle of problems. Even the funeral iron horse require effort and time. How to get rid of "property on wheels" correctly, and sometimes beneficially.

Machines, like you and me, die either a violent death or a natural one. That is, as a result of an accident and from old age, malfunction, uselessness. Depending on this, the ways of their "burial" also differ.

The car is no longer needed

There doesn't exist any general rules about when it's time to destroy the car. For example, the car is idle in the yard doing nothing. Or completely decrepit, dying. Or inherited from his grandfather and completely unnecessary. Or just tired. In general, the ways of the car into the category of "dead" are truly inscrutable.

The people involved in recycling say that the main thing is to understand what you want to do with the car. Because there are a lot of options.

If the car is of little interest as a rare and very (very) old copy, you can try to restore it. This will require investment, but then it will be possible to beautifully cut through the city on it and participate in all kinds of retro shows. And it doesn't have to be a 1930s Mercedes. Some 412th "Moskvich" has also become a rarity, and it is sometimes more profitable to restore it than to throw it away.

Besides, Soviet car can be given to the museum for the joy of posterity. Say, 300 km from the capital, in the village of Chernousovo, Tula region, there is a museum of the former fanatic racer, who collected about 270 Soviet retro cars near his house. Mikhail Krasinets will be happy to accept a new exhibit as a gift.

The problem is that Krasinets himself does not have the means of transporting cars, so the craving for the historical will require investments from you: if the car is not running, you will have to take it to the museum on a tow truck. average price evacuation in Moscow - 1,800 rubles, outside the Moscow Ring Road - an additional 34 rubles per kilometer. It turns out that in order to take your rarity to an open-air museum, you need to spend about 12,000 rubles.

You can try to sell an unwanted car for parts. This is not always possible, as parts may no longer be needed by anyone. Nevertheless, successful sale may result in little money. Another thing is that the spare parts market is an extremely dark, unregulated business, and experts believe that it is better not to mess with it at all.

You can just leave your car in the yard. Taking into account the capital war against abandoned vehicles, she will not stand there for a long time. One day, people from the board will knock on your door and ask you to either drive the car away and bring it back to normal, or finally dispose of it. If you are not found, the car will be taken away and put on one of the capital's special parking lots. It will sit there for another year, while legal battles are fought to make the city government the "owner" of the car and dispose of it.

And finally, the car can be disposed of voluntarily.

Now this burden lies with the owners. But most of them, firstly, are too lazy to deal with paperwork and transportation, and secondly, they often cherish the hope that someday the car will still come in handy.

In addition, the owner most often has to pay for recycling - there is no legal framework that would provide the user with any bonus in the country. That is why in Russia, cruel owners leave 300,000 former pets on the street every year. Dead pets are not good for nature. They contaminate the soil with mercury, lead and other questionable substances. The city's costs for cleaning up metal corpses and their disposal are huge sums, which grow every year.

There are two ways to help the city in this situation. Both lead to waste. The first is to do everything yourself, the second is to trust specialized company, which is currently more than enough in the capital.

To begin with, no matter which method you choose, transport must be deregistered. To do this, you need to come to the traffic police at the place of registration of the car, submit a written application, bring the PTS (certificate of registration of automatic telephone exchange) and license plates. It is possible without signs, but then you will have to write a statement about their loss. You don't need to provide a car.

After filling out all the papers, the traffic police officers issue a certificate of "culling". The whole procedure takes 30-40 minutes (including waiting in line). After that, the traffic police sends information to the IFTS in Moscow that the car has been destroyed, you no longer need to pay taxes for it.

The most important thing is coming. If for some reason you decide to send the car on your last journey yourself, you will need to properly prepare it. To do this, it is necessary to remove the wheels, interior trim from the car, drain gasoline, oil, alkali, pull out the battery, seats. In general, metal in one direction, non-metal in the other. At the output, you should get a bare skeleton. To transport it to the recycling plant, you need to call a tow truck.

The average weight of the machine in the "naked" form is 700-800 kg of pure metal. For them you will receive about 2,000 rubles. Net profit (including 1800 rubles for a tow truck) - 200 rubles. Where to put the parts removed from the car is unknown.

If you want to get rid of the headache, just call the recycling company. Employees of such an office can even go and deregister your car themselves, but for this you need to draw up and notarize the appropriate permission from a notary (any of these offices will gladly tell you exactly how this is done). After the car is deregistered, a tow truck will come to pick it up at a convenient time for you and take it away. Subsequently, it will be prepared for destruction, everything superfluous will be removed and torn into metal shreds.

That, in fact, is all.

car accident

According to the traffic police, only in January-July 2008 in Russia there were 112,616 road transport incidents. It seems that ten thousand cars after that cannot be restored.

The first is that a criminal case begins on the fact of an accident, the car (now material evidence) is driven to one of the capital's special parking lots for emergency, broken and abandoned vehicles. There she will stand until the end of the investigation and clarification of the circumstances of the accident. This may take a month, or it may take several years. A day of downtime of an emergency car in such a parking lot is 70 rubles.

To pick up your car from the parking lot, you need to get permission from the investigating authorities. If an investigation is still underway on it, the car can be issued for responsible storage: it cannot be driven and cannot be repaired - it is simply driven to the owner so as not to take up a parking space (it is very tight in the capital with such places).

As a rule, cars that have been in an accident with fatal, or so broken up that it is easier to immediately send them for recycling. If the car has been standing for a long time, the owner is sent an inventory, a debt record sheet, a photograph of the car and a registration card. Since the owner usually does not come and pay for the car, he is told that the car is being scrapped.

Actually, this is one of the options for burying a car that died as a result of an accident - leave it to rot in the parking lot until it is destroyed.

Suppose that the car, even if it visited such a parking lot, nevertheless returned to you. What to do with her?

Often a car after an accident can no longer be restored. You can, of course, try to repair a broken one, but there are situations when repairs will cost more than buying a new car.

You can sell your car for parts. However, this will take a lot of time, and the final cost, as a rule, does not suit car owners. And, again, people involved in the recycling industry advise not to get involved with such firms.

It remains to sell the beaten car to a specialized office.

Today, there are many companies that are engaged in the redemption of those who have been in car accident by enough favorable prices. In addition, contacting such an organization provides several more advantages: you do not need to advertise a car for sale; you don't have to do everything legal aspects; no need to stand in line at the traffic police. In addition, firms engaged in urgent purchase broken cars, as a rule, carry out the evacuation of the car directly from the scene of the accident. Money for the deceased "horse" is paid within a few days.

Why do companies need it? They restore cars for resale or take them apart for parts. Among the clients of these organizations there are, for example, owners of rare cars who are ready to pay any money for a suitable part for their car.

There are a lot of similar offices in Moscow. The procedure for buying and selling a car is about the same. You need to call, tell about the car (make and year of manufacture), describe in detail technical condition and existing damage. In response, they will call you approximate cost car. After that, you can call the appraiser on a convenient day and at a convenient place for you. The procedure is free and does not oblige you to anything - after an assessment, you can refuse to sell the car.

True, the employees and experts themselves do not like to travel in vain, but they are convinced that the services they provide are the best way out of the current situation. emergency. If you're not sure you want to sell your car, most of these firms provide car valuations online. A typical form is, for example, here.

After agreeing on the price, you issue a general power of attorney with all rights for a period of not more than six months to the representative of the company and transfer the car with a set of documents:

• vehicle passport (PTS);
• registration certificate;
• general power of attorney;
• one copy general power of attorney, notarized;
• two sets of keys;
• ticket technical inspection;
• service book.

You receive money in full. After the repair, the car is deregistered in the traffic police and sold with a certificate-account.

You can, of course, not sell the car, but leave it to rot in the yard. By doing this, you will benefit grateful neighbors and just random passers-by: they will take everything they are interested in from the car. And what happens next, I already wrote in the first part of the text.

All cars eventually go to waste. Beep beep.

Addresses, contacts

NB! The list is divided into sections according to the core activities of companies, but many of them provide services in a complex - tow truck, buyout, disposal.

A car, like any device, eventually wears out, becomes morally obsolete and becomes unusable. This is not the kind of "garbage" that you can just throw away. There are certain methods and programs for the disposal of old cars, non-working models, etc. As it costs new car not cheap, then even by “throwing away” an old car, you can earn and return a small part of its value.

Methods and conditions of disposal

There are several ways to properly dispose of a car. If the car is on the move and does not require global repairs, then it can simply be resold. If the car has become unusable, then it is worth:

1. Find resellers to sell a car for parts or disassemble it yourself and sell it in parts. This option suitable for relatively new cars, the details of which are quite in demand. They also sell cars in good condition for parts.
2. Dispose of by special program. You can scrap a car in complete set: seats, frame, engine, chassis, glass, etc. If you rent a car under a special recycling program, you can get a coupon for 50 thousand rubles, which can only be spent on the purchase of a new car of domestic assembly (including foreign cars assembled at local factories). If you wish, you can sell a car to anyone who is going to buy a car to get a discount.
3. Scrap metal. - universal opportunity for the disposal of old cars, cars after accidents, fires. Although the price for 1 kg of auto scrap is not high, but with a significant weight of the car, you can get several thousand.

In any case, when disposing or handing over the car for scrap, you must first remove it from the register, eliminate license plates. And then contact the tax service to stop its accrual. This procedure carried out for any transport.

Estimation of the cost of a car scrap

Parsing car scrap for scrapping - the most simple procedure. To do this, you need to contact the company and transfer the car to its employees. When choosing a company, you need to know pricing policy to give the car for the most favorable cost. Cars of any quality are suitable for scrap metal, you can use it to arrive at the collection point or order the services of a tow truck for its transportation.

To calculate the cost of scrap, a simple formula is used: the mass of the car is multiplied by the percentage of metal in it (the weight of non-metal parts is subtracted as a percentage) and multiplied by the cost of scrap. The machine is weighed directly at the reception point. Before weighing, some non-metallic items (wheels, seats, etc.) may be removed from it.

To estimate the price of the car before delivery, you can use the weight of the car, prescribed in the passport and take away at least 25% of non-metallic parts. Scrap prices do not change much and on average a car you can get 3-5 thousand. Although this is a small amount of money, it is not superfluous.

By the end of the year, most major roads in the country will be equipped with CCTV cameras.

Right now this process is gaining momentum - the traffic police is buying new equipment in very decent volumes.

For an ordinary motorist, this means one thing - a camera will remove the violation of the rules and immediately show the number of the car. And while no communication with the inspector. The fine or subpoena will come by mail. And the amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure made it so that such an entry road camera becomes irrefutable evidence in court. This practice has long been successfully used in the West. We followed the same path, and with big steps.

But we have our own domestic secret, which will make such a transition very painful. The Russian stumbling block is a car sold by proxy. There are no deals for a car according to such a document anywhere in the world, car ownership by proxy is a purely domestic invention.

For someone who parted with the car in this way, the introduction of video surveillance will have backfire. Exactly legal owner receive a fine or jail time for dangerous maneuvers his former car. And the fines today have become very large, and they were supplemented by arrest and deprivation of rights for years to come. But the court will not take into account any arguments about the power of attorney. You will be solely responsible for your property.

The problem is aggravated by the fact that many owners do not even remember to whom and when they sold the car by proxy. Many do not know where in the vast expanses of the motherland now to look for a new owner.

There is one real way out - to get rid of sold by proxy. It is already safe to predict incredible queues at the traffic police former owners with... reports of theft. This is the most primitive, but also the most, as it turned out, the wrong way to get rid of the burden of the former property.

Let's try to find acceptable options for deliverance that do not violate Russian laws.

Guard, stolen!

When I was looking for the owner of my sold car for two years, the only advice I heard was this - declare the car stolen. Tips to resort to this method are in the set and on Internet forums. My zeal was cooled down by a neighbor - a traffic policeman. After listening to the request to accept me to file a statement about the theft, he sighed and asked - do you want to go to jail?

And he explained that submitting such an application is not a problem. Then he told me what would happen next. Sooner or later, but the allegedly stolen car will definitely be detained, and with it current owner. Which, during the debriefing, will easily prove that he did not steal anything. And he paid money. And then there will be a trial, where his relatives will speak with a story about how he actually bought a car from you. And you will not be able to clearly explain to the court why you were silent for several years and only now remembered about the theft. Then you will most likely be prosecuted under the criminal article "Knowingly false denunciation." You face at least a hefty fine. And if such slander led to serious consequences, then it’s really possible to get acquainted with the zone.

Let's put it in the trash

The easiest way to get rid of the car is to find a buyer and arrange for him to register it for himself. Correctly this is done in writing and through a notary. If new owner if he doesn’t respond to the proposal to voluntarily rewrite the car, then go to the traffic police and demand to remove the car from the register for disposal.

This is the most productive way. Yes, according to the law, in order to send the car to the trash, you also need a TCP. But this is not necessary - on the wall of any traffic police department there is a sample application for loss of TCP under unknown circumstances. With this write-off act, you do not need to present the car itself.

After applications for the write-off of the car and the TCP are submitted, the data of the car sold by proxy are entered into the traffic police database. If the owner is stopped not only for a violation, but even with a simple document check and the car is "punched" through the database, then it will not go anywhere else. For the traffic police, the situation will be simple - the driver X. drives a car that does not exist in nature.

In the traffic police of Moscow, the correspondent of "RG" was explained that, according to the law, when disposing of the car, it is necessary to bring the inspectors its numbers. But this is not an ironclad rule. If there are no numbers, then you do not need to bring them. After the application, these numbers are put on the wanted list for disposal.

What is convenient and good recycling? The fact that everything can always be returned. That is a buyer stopped for driving virtual machine and moving now on foot, quickly finds you. He already agrees to everything. In this case, you can simply pick up an application for disposal from the traffic police. The wording sounds like this - "due to changed circumstances."

Time flies like an arrow, any thing over the years loses its former gloss and becomes unsuitable for further use. This also applies car. For a simple layman who spent more than one day behind the steering wheel of his pet, it is not easy to quickly figure out how to get rid of a car that has become unusable.

There are tons of options capable of resolving the pressing issue. It is necessary to take into account the factor that for a motorist to part with his true friend sometimes it's a pity. By all means, I want to attach the vehicle to good hands, despite its non-marketable appearance.

To begin with, I advise you to try to sell the car, but this is the case if it is on the move. And you can quickly find a buyer with the help of intermediaries. By the way, according to the reviews of people close to me, there is a ransom cars will pass painless for both the seller and the reseller. Otherwise, you will have to organize the entire sales process yourself.

This entails some risks that are possible when showing a car, settling with a client, as well as when signing the necessary papers. Of course, if you often change cars, then such dangers are unlikely to affect you, but nevertheless, urgent deliverance through a specialized office will completely eliminate the inertia of finding a new owner and unforeseen headaches.

Well, what if your offer is no longer relevant today, that is, the car does not meet the conditions modern use, but only creates inconvenience for other road users due to its low speed, and is also unsafe even in minor accidents, plus everything in the exhaust gases contains harmful substances above the norm, then you can try to disassemble auto for parts.

Sell ​​by parts in this case it is more profitable, but this process will stretch for a very indefinite time and will require you to make an effort to disassemble your old woman, as well as a workplace for the implementation of the plan and storage of all removed parts. How to get rid of a car in one day when there is no need to receive a reward for it?

But just quit automobile rotting under your window is also not a way out of the situation. And if it is not possible to re-register for a new owner, then go to the traffic police and write an application for disposal. After that, you won't have to worry about taxes coming in.

Now many people leave their cars right on the street without bothering to look for a more civilized place. But fortunately there are organized cemeteries for such machines. You can learn about them from traffic cops, or by searching for information on the Internet. Although here, too, there is a possibility for society to suffer from what seems to be a built-in Right place cars.

Unfortunately, in such places, the owners of caravans manage to sell for any money barely alive cars taxi drivers. So be careful when you ride new car around town. Try to avoid suspicious drivers on such firewood. And do not be surprised if your former companion ever catches up with you at a traffic light. Better hurry away from her, as far as possible. God saves man, who save himself!
