Call the National Kidney Foundation or look up your local chapter online. They are taking our 94 Camry, which has failed transmission & broken axle. They pick up (tow) the car from your home, and auction it. The funds they raise by auctioning the cars help dialysis & transplant patients. They will mail you a receipt for the amount your car sold for, and you can write it off on your taxes!
You can get rid of your car and help someone else at the same time! Good Luck!

If you need to get rid of a car that is non-functioning, I recommend "JUNKMYCAR.com" which picked up my old beater in Milwaukee.

Thanks everyone. At least the top end is shot and I've been counseled to either give my 1992 Audi A6 to the junk yard or find and engine. Please help? The car is immaculate in every other way and just doesn't belong at the junkyard. What should I do? Where should I go? Where can I find?
Thanks!

Do a google seach for import salvage yards. Should be able to find one that way.

My advise? Junk it!
 
It's a fifteen year old Audi.
 
Few cars are more troublesome. The cost of buying and installing a good used engine (if you can find one)exceed the value of the car by a lot.
 
Then, what will break next?

Keep searching, try Ebay...they have been excellent in providing me resources for used engines and components. Just stay away from most junk yards, unless you personally know someone who works there. Utah truck and auto burned me on a lt1 motor, paid over 1100. dollars for this thing, was supposed to have compression of 150psi overall, this thing had burnt valves, distorted cyls....would have been lucky to avg. 50psi per cyl. wet. anyway, this is just an example of how you can get burnt.
