OK. So I have a friend who just -gave- me her reasonably beat-up 1988 Corolla. She wants it gone, and I need money in a big way. I've been trying to sell it to an actual owner, but the lack of a title is putting people off.

I figure it for the low end of "Fair" condition in the Blue Book; runs ok but has some compression issues, cracked windscreen, and somewhat of a moisture problem. It's useable, it just takes forever to get up speed and the defroster isn't the most useful thing in the world.

In light of my failure to sell to an actual person, I'm probably gonna end up selling it to a chop-shop or salvage yard. Kelly Blue Book value is $550-$650; do you guys figure I could get that much? I need to sell it fast, so a salvage yard looks like my best bet at the moment.
