I am looking to sell my mom's old 2006 Chevy Impala with 100k miles and a plethora of issues. I don't think CarMax or GiveMeTheVin will make an offer for vehicles like this. I've found a few sites that say they buy junk cars like peddle.com. Anybody have experience good/bad with a junk car buying site? Car is in the Houston area if that matters.

Peddle is great. Super easy if it really is a junk car.

If it runs and drives I would put it on Facebook marketplace

FB Marketplace or Craigslist. List it and be honest and somebody will come get it. Clean title vehicles are worth something even if they are junk.

Sell it here to an Aggie

I started a sale through Peddle and they made a decent offer, but the towing company they partnered with to make the purchase and pick it up seemed really shady, so I bailed. I read online that this towing company refuses to pay the full amount when they come to get the car.

This car belonged to my mother who passed away in January and we've been waiting for probate to sell it. Title is clean but still in my mother's name. Trying to figure out how the executor can sign the title over for the sale but can't find anything online that is definitive, other than "go transfer the title to the heir(s) and wait a few weeks to get a new title". I believe the executor can simply sign the title, and provide a death certificate and Letters Testamentary and that should be good enough - anybody have experience with that.

It is a 2006 Chevy Impala LT with right around 100k miles, some exterior damage, and the interior is pretty dirty. My brother says AAA told him the alternator is bad. It will run and drive ok until the battery dies. So if anybody in the Houston area is interested, PM me. Car is located in Deer Park.

Sorry for your loss. That is nearby for me and could use a spare car. How much are you asking? Not familiar with that particular situation but will be patient while getting the title situation sorted out.
