Can I Sell an Accident-Damaged or Totaled Car?
After a collision, a vehicle can end up in one of two places: still drivable but not worth repairing, or declared a total loss by an insurance company. Either way, it can still be sold rather than sitting in a driveway or repair shop lot.
Do You Buy Cars That Have Been In An Accident?
Yes, we buy vehicles with collision damage in any condition, whether that's cosmetic body damage or damage severe enough that it no longer runs. See our non-running & damaged vehicles page for more detail.
What If My Insurance Company Already Declared It A Total Loss?
If your insurer settled the claim and issued a salvage or total-loss title, that vehicle can still be sold. Have that title ready, along with any paperwork the insurance company provided, when you request a quote.
Does The Type Of Damage Affect The Offer?
Yes, the extent of the damage is one of the details that factors into your offer, similar to any other condition issue. Letting us know what happened, front-end, rear-end, flood, or otherwise, when you request a quote keeps the offer accurate. See how a junk car's value is determined for the full breakdown.
What If The Car Is Still At A Body Shop Or Tow Yard?
We can pick up from most locations, not just your home. Let us know where the vehicle is currently sitting when you schedule pickup.
