Here's How To Sell a Non-Running Car

What do you do when the old Toyota Camry that's been in your family for years no longer runs? Or the Honda S2000 project car you acquired some years ago isn't getting any of the attention you thought you'd be able to give it? Or have you totaled your small SUV in a wreck and you're not insured? If your car is non-running and isn't covered by insurance for repairs, you'll have to foot the bill to either get it to run again or try to recoup some money by selling it. So, what do you need to know about putting a non-running car up for sale?

What Is a Non-Runner, And Is My Vehicle Actually Inoperable?

When it comes to selling broken cars, there is a difference between selling a running vehicle with some repair work pending and selling a vehicle that is inoperable. Let's have a look at how to decide which category your car falls into:

  • Determine whether it's worth fixing - If your car's been totaled in an accident and is not worth fixing, you'll want to look at selling it for parts. If the car has a shaky engine or if there are grinding noises coming from the transmission system, it's likely that the repairs will be quite expensive. If the car's safety has been compromised to any extent, you'll also have to get it repaired or scrap it.
