Re: Weight
you can take it to a truck weigh station and they can weigh the car, look on the drivers door jam, the vin tag there has the cars original weight

Re: Weight
Or if your in a rural area you could take it to a grain scale at an elavator. Usually they will let you weight it there.

Re: Weight

Re: Weight
You can also go to a scrap yard where they accept scrap iron. They use a scale at those places to weigh your truck/trailer before and after unloading to determine how much to pay you for the scrap iron. Maybe tip them a couple of bucks and just tell them you want to know how much your car weighs.
