Fixing vs. Selling A Broken Car
 |
If you have a broken car, it can be tough to decide when it’s worth fixing and when to sell it instead. If the damage looks minor, you might be inclined to take it to a mechanic instead. However, selling might be the right choice for your broken car. Small problems in your car can be repaired with a few hours and a hundred dollars. If the damage to your car is minor, there’s probably no need to sell it. |
|
On the other hand, it’s a good idea to think about selling your car when the cost of repairing it approaches or exceeds the car’s actual value. For instance, if your car’s current market value is $3,000 and the cost of fixing it is $4,000, don’t waste your time looking for a mechanic — start looking for a buyer instead. In some cases, even if the damage is minor, it might still make sense to sell it instead. For instance, if you have an older vehicle that’s developing problems more frequently, you might need to think twice before pulling out your wallet for another repair job. How much have you spent fixing up the car in recent years, and how much do you think you’ll spend going forward? Once you realize your repair bills are adding up, it’s a good idea to get rid of your car and get a replacement. Small problems can add up fast when they pop up frequently. |

How Can I Sell My Broken Car?
If you want to sell your broken car, you need to find out its actual cash value. Unfortunately, the Kelley Blue Book will not help you here — the value of a well-functioning car is different from a broken car. Instead, you’ll need to learn what you can get for your vehicle as-is.
The best way to sell your car is to contact junk car buyers or dealerships in your area to compare quotes. Keep in mind that you should always ask about fees and any additional charges. You don’t want to pay extra money to get rid of your car — you should be able to profit from selling it, not pay someone to take it.
CarBrain specializes in buying damaged and broken cars, and we can help you find out the value of your vehicle in 90 seconds. We take all factors into account to generate a top-dollar price for your vehicle, and include free towing and title transfer with our offer. There are never any fees, haggling, or fuss.
How Much Can I Get If I Sell My Broken Car?
The value of your broken car depends on the extent of the damage it has, its year, make, model, mileage, location, and more. If it’s not severely damaged, an experienced buyer can repair it in a specialized shop. In many cases, however, the parts may be removed so that they can be reused in other vehicles.
The value of your car, therefore, depends on the condition of the parts in the vehicle and local market demand. Certain vehicles’ parts may be more common in one part of the country and virtually unneeded in other parts. Your broken car may fetch anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on its current condition and other factors.

Where Can I Sell My Broken Car?
There are many different places to sell broken cars, depending on your goals and timeline. For instance, you can sell your car:
To a junkyard or scrap yard
To a dealership
To a private individual
Selling to a junkyard or scrapyard is an easy way to sell your car fast. You’ll generally get the car’s scrap metal value as payment. Make sure that a junkyard operates in your area to avoid towing fees.
Trading your broken car into a dealership may help you get a new car faster. However, dealerships will often give you less than junkyards will for your car since they do not specialize in recycling vehicles. Additionally, you will be limited to purchasing a car from their inventory.
In many cases, the best way to sell your car for as much as possible is to try to find a private buyer. However, your success will depend on your location as well as the make and model of your vehicle. Some popular cars can be sold for higher prices, even damaged, compared to less in-demand models.
