Fix it or sell it?
Get one repair quote before you decide. If the repair costs more than the car would be worth once it's fixed, selling it as it is usually makes more sense.
A car that's been sitting also tends to need more than the one thing that stopped it, like tires, brakes and a battery. If you're not sure, send us the details anyway. An offer costs you nothing and gives you something to compare.

Questions about selling a car that won't run
Do you buy cars that won't start?
Yes. Whether it's the battery, the starter or the engine, it doesn't need to run for us to make an offer.
What if I don't have the keys?
Tell us when you get in touch. A car with no keys can still be sold, but it changes how we load it.
Can you pick up a car with flat tires?
Yes. Let us know about the flats ahead of time so we come prepared.
Should I fix my car before selling it?
Usually not if the repair costs more than the car would be worth afterward. Get a repair quote and compare it with our offer.
Does it matter how long it's been sitting?
No. Cars that have sat for months or years are common. Tell us roughly how long, since it helps us know what to expect.
