Sell a non-running car
A car that won't start is not worthless. Between recyclable steel, the catalytic converter, and reusable parts, non-running cars still bring real cash - and buyers tow them for free.
Read the guide →Junk a car without a title
A missing title narrows the pool of buyers and trims most offers, but for an older, low-value car it usually does not end the sale. What you need depends on your state and on the buyer you pick.
Read the guide →Sell a salvage title car
A salvage title means the car was once declared a total loss. It lowers value, but salvage cars are exactly what many junk and parts buyers want.
Read the guide →Sell a car with a lien on it
If you still owe money on the car, the lender legally holds the title until the loan is paid. You can still sell, but the lien has to be cleared first.
Read the guide →Sell a wrecked or damaged car
A wrecked car is worth more than it looks. Even after a serious crash, the undamaged parts and the metal carry real value to the right buyer.
Read the guide →Sell a flood-damaged car
Flood water ruins electronics, corrodes metal, and breeds problems that surface for years. It sharply lowers value - but a flood car still sells for parts and scrap.
Read the guide →Sell a hybrid with a dead battery
A dead high-voltage battery can cost thousands to replace, which is why many hybrid owners sell instead. The upside: the car, and even the failed battery, still carry value.
Read the guide →Sell a car without keys
Lost or missing keys are a minor hurdle, not a dealbreaker. Junk buyers tow and handle no-key cars all the time - it barely moves the price.
