After a crash: what to do with the car
Do these in order and selling it is the easy part.
Settle the claim first
If there's an open insurance claim on the car, deal with it before you sell. ICBC notes that an active claim may become void when ownership changes.
Find out where it's sitting
Cars often end up at a body shop or tow yard after a crash. Ask whether storage fees are adding up, and tell us where it is.
Clear out your things
Glovebox, trunk, under the seats. Do it before the car changes hands.
Get an offer
Send the year, make and model and what happened. Photos of the damage help.
Sign it over
Your registration and the Transfer/Tax form (APV9T), signed once you've been paid. Plates come off, and your insurance gets cancelled or moved.
Written off and kept it?
When repairs would cost more than a car is worth, insurers usually call it a total loss. Some owners keep the car anyway, and that's where things get stuck. A written-off car is hard to sell privately, and most buyers won't touch it.
We buy them as they are. Tell us it's a write-off when you get in touch, along with what's damaged, and we'll go from there.
If it doesn't run at all, our page for non-running car buyers in Burnaby covers that. Selling a damaged pickup or van? See cash for trucks in Burnaby, or start from Burnaby cash for cars.
Damaged car questions
Do you buy cars that have been written off?
Yes. If your insurer declared it a total loss and you kept it, we'll still make an offer.
Can you buy a car that's at a body shop or tow yard?
Usually, yes. Tell us where it is so we can sort out the pickup with them.
Do the airbags need to be replaced before I sell?
No. We buy it as it sits, deployed airbags and all.
Should I sell before my insurance claim is settled?
Settle the claim first. An active claim may become void when ownership changes.
Do you buy flood or fire damaged cars?
Yes. Tell us what happened and what still works, and send photos if you can.
