Who Will Buy My Toyota That's Not Working?

If you have a used Toyota in excellent condition, you shouldn't have much problem selling it and getting at or near its Kelley Blue Book value.

But if your Toyota has been damaged in a collision or is not running, trying to sell your crashed or undrivable car for a good price may be a challenge.

If you have an old car with mechanical damage or body damage you don't want to pay for, selling it is your best bet. You can take the savings from avoiding repairing your car, plus the profit from selling it, and put it towards a new vehicle with fewer problems.

But where should you sell your old car? Depending on what condition it's in, you have a few options for selling it:

 
 
 

Does Your Toyota Have Mechanical Problems? We'll Buy It.

Trying to find a buyer for your old Toyota with a seized or blown engine can be a major challenge. The engine is incredibly expensive to repair, which means most standard used car buyers will send you away. Private buyers will push the price down as far as possible because they know they'll have to deal with the engine themselves. Even trying to sell your car for parts can be a problem when you have mechanical damage.


This is because if you have a bad engine or a bad transmission, the two most valuable parts of your car are not working. Trying to sell the remaining parts one by one will take months, and in the end you may not make any more than if you had just sold the car intact. Luckily, there are online car buyers that will make a fair market offer on your less-than-perfect car. CarBrain has been buying damaged cars for over a decade. We specialize in helping you find out what your car is worth. You can get paid for your damaged car fast. All it takes is a few minutes to get a quote. We can walk you through the entire process and answer any questions you have.

Should You Consider Engine Replacement for Your Car Toyota: Is It Worth It?

If your car still has better years ahead of it, then it might be worth the costs of replacing a bad engine. However, if your car’s glory days are in the past and its value is outweighed by the replacement costs, then it might not be in your best interests to replace that blown engine.

How Much Does It Cost To Fix a Blown Head Gasket?

Fixing a broken he­ad gasket's cost can fluctuate. The car's type­, damage level, and your local labor rate­ play key roles. Gene­rally, mending a damaged head gaske­t could cost you from a handful of hundreds to beyond a thousand dollars. Expense­s generally cover labor for taking out the­ cylinder head(s), replacing the­ gasket, and fixing any engine damage­ by the broken gasket.

Understanding Engine Replacement Costs: Factors That Influence Pricing

When facing an engine replacement, car owners must navigate a variety of factors that can significantly impact the total cost. From the age and model of the vehicle to the location and type of service provider, understanding these elements can help in effectively planning and managing expenses. Let's explore how the generation of your car, along with geographical and shop-related variables, affects the cost of engine replacements.

Variability by Generation: Engine replacement costs can vary significantly depending on the car's generation, influenced by parts availability, technological complexity, and labor requirements.

Why Engine Replacement Cost Varies by Car Generation:

Part Availability: Older car parts may be rare and expensive, while newer car parts are generally more available but might incorporate expensive technologies.
Technological Complexity: Newer engines often use advanced technology, requiring more specialized skills and tools for replacement, which can increase costs.
Labor and Tools: The complexity of modern engines may require mechanics with advanced training, raising labor costs. Newer tools and diagnostic equipment may also be needed.

These options exist, but you won’t always get top dollar for them. Some dealerships may be interested in old Toyota cars, but only if they don’t have too many issues. Similarly, it would be hard to find a private buyer willing to pay cash for a Toyota that’s broken if it can’t be repaired easily.

Junkyards will take Toyotas as scrap cars any day, but that means you aren’t guaranteed to get top dollar for it. Plus, they might expect you to pay for the cost of towing.

But what about an online junk car buyer, like CarBrain? We pay cash for Toyota cars no matter what condition they’re in, whether you’re trying to sell a high mileage older Toyota or a wrecker that will never be repairable.

How Much Can I Get For My Damaged Toyota?

Depending on your Toyota's model, trim and condition the fair market price for your vehicle can range from $100 to $10,000 or more. Older vehicles with higher mileage and more damage may only be purchased for their scrap value, which means you would get a much lower price. Newer model years with repairable problems can sell for thousands of dollars, depending on their mileage and local demand. 

The best way to discover the actual cash value of your damaged Toyota is to get an offer from CarBrain.com. 
Our intuitive pricing engine takes into account more than just the year, make and model of your vehicle to determine its current market value. Click "Get An Offer" to fill out our form and discover how much cash you can get for your non-running, scrap or damaged Toyota now.

Who Buys Wrecked Toyotas Near Me?

Although you can get more money for an intact and running Toyota than a damaged one, there are still several options for selling a crashed vehicle. Many local dealerships will accept a collision-damaged Toyota as a trade-in for a newer vehicle. Additionally, you can obtain quotes for your junk Toyota from local scrap yards, junk yards and salvage yards. If you have the time and skill, you can also sell your Toyota for parts.

CarBrain buys all less-than-perfect cars, including wrecked Toyotas declared a total loss, for fair market prices. We include free towing and free title transfer in all our offers, and we operate nationwide. We can provide you with an offer for your damaged Toyota in 90 seconds, and then provide payment in under 48 business hours.

How Do I Sell My Junk Toyota?

To sell your Toyota with problems, you should first determine what is wrong with the vehicle. It's a good idea to get a quote for repairs from a mechanic's shop to figure out what it would cost to fix up your vehicle and restore it to working condition. Then, you should begin seeking quotes for your broken Toyota from different local dealers, yards and junk car buyers.

Remember to ask about towing fees. If your vehicle cannot drive, it will need to be towed instead. Towing fees can eat into potential profits you'll make for selling the car. Once you have an offer you like, you should schedule a time to transport the vehicle and receive payment for your car. In most cases, you will need a title for the vehicle to complete the sale.

CarBrain's associate buyers can walk you through the process of selling your scrap Toyota. Our representatives can help you locate and accurately fill out the appropriate documents to complete the sale, schedule your free pickup and provide a fair market offer and payment for your car. CarBrain offers include free towing and free title transfer, and there are no fees whatsoever for using our service.
