If you have a late model car that has been in a car accident or has engine problems, you may be facing exorbitant repair costs. When the cost of repairs outweighs the value of your vehicle, you might consider selling the individual parts of your car.
Dismantling your car requires a lot of knowledge and effort. Unless you’re a trained mechanic with a specialized garage, parting out your vehicle might make your car problems worse. You could end up damaging valuable parts as you disassemble them, decreasing their overall value!
There are only a few parts in your vehicle that command great demand: the engine, the transmission and the catalytic converter. Once you pull those parts out and sell them, the rest of your vehicle may be sitting in your driveway indefinitely.
How much you can get for your car depends on its current condition and what kind of car it is. Certain vehicles’ parts are more valuable than others, but a mid-range vehicle with parts in good condition might get a better offer than a high-end car with damaged parts.
Prices on cars for parts can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. The best way to find out what your car is worth is to get an offer. Our smart price engine can help you generate an instant quote for your vehicle in just 90 seconds.
On average, this is how much you can sell these parts for if they are already removed:
Engine - $500+ (Mileage dependent)
Transmission - $250+ (Mileage dependent
Airbags - $150+ (Depending on which bag)
Seats - $80+ (Seat conditions may vary price
You have a few options for selling your car parts. Parting out your car comes with several benefits and detriments. The primary benefit being that selling your car parts can generate a hefty amount of money.
However, offsetting that benefit are the drawbacks. Parting out your car is time consuming to do and there’s zero guarantee for when you will sell those parts. They’ll take up space for months or even years as you haggle with every prospective buyer that shows some interest.
In the end, you may be required to sell the entire vehicle. A partially disassembled vehicle will sell for less than a vehicle with all its parts.
Selling your car as a complete unit is faster and easier. You can get paid for the whole vehicle, save time on labor and advertising, and avoid accidentally damaging parts of your car by trying to disassemble it without the right experience.
There’s likely no point in repairing a broken vehicle before selling it. The cost of a total repair is likely greater than the total value of the vehicle, eating up any profit to be made from its sale.
Some minor and affordable repairs may increase the value of your car if you can complete them yourself, but if you need to bring the car to a mechanic, the cost of labor will typically wipe out any potential profits.
If your car has serious problems, chances are they have permanently affected the vehicle’s value. Damages that could negatively impact your vehicle’s value are:
Collision
Rust
Falling Objects
Inclement Weather
Trying to repair your car before selling it will generally be a waste of time and money. Instead, you should try to sell it as-is for its current market value.

No, CarBrain does not buy individual car parts. We can only make an offer on a complete vehicle. Your best bet for selling individual parts of a car is to use sites like Craigslist, OfferUp or eBay to get offers for your individual auto parts.
It depends. CarBrain can make an offer on vehicles missing parts, depending on what parts are missing. For instance, if your vehicle is missing a fuel line or a wheel, we can still make an offer on it for its fair market value.
However, we cannot make an offer on vehicles missing engines, transmissions or more than two wheels.
How much your car is worth depends on a variety of factors including its year, make, model, condition, mileage, location, accident history and more. It could be worth anywhere from $300 to more than $10,000 depending on the factors listed above. The best way to find out what your car is worth is to get an offer with CarBrain — it takes just 90 seconds.
