Have a completely useless 2002 Sienna that I sunk an insane amount of money into:
- previous owner welded the O2 sensor into the bank that was hardest to reach so had to strip the whole damn manifold to replace it, now it just doesn't pass the smog anymore with the constant O2 sensor replacements cause the catalyst is cracked
- brakes also no longer brake, the pad sinks all the way to the floor with zero feedback unless I just go at a snails pace
- battery would discharge all the time so had to go through 3 in under a year one time, this year it discharged twice, no lights being left on or anything so yeah
- water leaks in now so mildew from the recent season
- not to mention all the parts that people tried to rip out in my old neighborhood from it like the rear tail lights, mirrors, the god damn roof rails
Just trying to get rid of it, was going to do it through the federal buy back shit, but I have it in my folks driveway in the mean time so they understandably are getting impatient so trying to get the 1300 won't be possible it seems.
Some guidance on the matter to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated as well as the forms I would need to fill prior or after. thanks.

Insure it for max amount, then… i dunno

Scrap it if you need to. Or sell it for $300.

What do scrappers need out of me if I get them to scrap it and how much can I usually expect for something so run down?

That's a 2012. Your whole story must be a complete fabrication.

It's just a stock photo I found to post something, it was either that or a picture of my cat.

Scrappers literally take the car and crush it for the metal. They don't care at all about the condition of the car. How much you'll get for it will vary based on the scrapper. Just call them for a quote. If they pick it up and tow it, you'll probably not get much. If you take it to the scrap yard yourself you get more. Regardless it likely won't be more than a few hundred.

Send it to the scrapper. Someone got their money's worth out of it and it wasn't you.

This. I had a Nissan Quest minivan years ago that was so fucking destroyed that nobody would look at it. Fortunately it got rear ended by some 90 year old lady that had no business being on the road and I got $5k out of the loss which was pretty much a gift from god, but I was looking at other means of getting rid of it.
Find a street nearby that has a lot of tractor trailers driving through, and park off the curb. At 3:00 in the morning some tweaked out third worlder looking at his CAD is going to plow right into it.
Another option is to take it camping out into the mountains and let it roll down a hill, but this is riskier and gives the claims agent a better opportunity to poke around the vehicle. One of my troops in the military did this and got away with it because his coverage was good and he was so far out in the woods that the claims guy didn't want to go out.
Do NOT do anything involving fire. Arson is stupid easy to detect and the suspicion of it will cause more problems. There was another guy in the military I worked with who got his butt pushed in for torching his own car, but his plan was retarded anyways.
