I bought a car for 300,000 W 3 years ago. It was good for the last 2 1/2 years, but I haven't used it as much lately and now have maintenance costs estimated for about 2 million won, so I'm looking to just get rid of it. I heard you can get about 500,000 W for a junker/scrap car, otherwise it'd be nice to not pay anything. Any advice?

Don't expect a lot of money for your old beater. More likely than not you'll need to pay to get it junked.

If it still runs, find and take it to the nearest pye-ja-cha (페자차,) aka junkyard/recycling center for cars. You probably won't get 500k for it, closer to 1-200k, depending on the condition, model, and year. They'll take care of all the necessary paperwork/registration/license plates and you'll be free and clear of it in 20-30 minutes. Just be sure you don't owe any back taxes, insurance and/or tickets before taking it in.

Alternatively, take it to your mechanic (if you've ever used one!!), and they'll do it for you, if you have a decent relationship with them. Don't expect to see any cash for it, though.
