$45 Ford Tempo
There is a Tempo in the paper this week, $45, runs, but needs a battery. Who thinks I should pick it up, clean it up, and re sell it?

I'm going to buy it first 
I thought the days of $50 cars were long gone, but this one sounds like it's worth at least taking a look at.
For $50, I think it might need alot more work then just a battery

Buy it, if the seller says all it needs is a battery, get it in writing. Get and new battery and if it starts, sell it to car max or piece it for parts, you'll get more than your money back.

Other than that, here are some ideas:
Donate it for a tax deduction
Donate it to a friend in need
Demo derby
Run it off a cliff
Sledge hammer
Just some thoughts.

Take it to a local parking lot along with a sledge hammer and advertise:
"Take out your frustation on this piece 'o crap"
Let people take a whack at it for $5 a whack or 2 for $7.50

A fraternity or two did this a few times while I was in college, and it was a riot.
