I am trying to find some funky old metal to use to build a metal gate and some trellises for my yard.

What should I do with my 1994 Nissan Sentra ? It has 270K miles on it and now the water pump needs to be replaced. I don't want to put any more money into it. Will a scrapyard or a used parts dealer pay me for it ? How much should I expect to get ? Any specific recommendations for Tampa, Florida ? Thanks for your help !
