All cars eventually reach a point where they just won’t start. The reason behind a car dying can vary from worn mechanical components to dead engines and more.
Fortunately, a non-running car still retains some of its value and can be sold for cash if repairing it is out of the question.

In general, you can’t expect a non running car to be worth more than 20 to 40 percent of an equivalent, running car.
If your 2010 Honda Civic is worth $8,000, a non-running equivalent would probably be worth no more than $3,200 — and could be worth less, depending on other factors like the condition of its parts and body.
Depending on why it’s not running, it could make sense to fix it — if it’s something as simple as needing a dead battery, for instance, it probably doesn’t make sense to give the car up.
However, if you’re facing serious engine issues or your vehicle has depreciated significantly over time, chances are even moderately expensive repairs are no longer worthwhile.
So what do you do with a car not worth repairing?
There are several ways you can sell your vehicle that doesn’t work. They all depend on how quickly you want the car sold and how much money you want to make.
Junkyards and scrap yards accept vehicles in virtually any condition, including ones that don’t work. They purchase them quickly, but make their profit by buying as low as they can (including a bit of haggling) and reselling whatever parts can be recycled.
More often than not, they will purchase the vehicle for its weight in scrap metal.
Dealerships that accept cars “as is” also purchase non-running vehicles. They, like junkyards, will purchase a vehicle quickly, however, the money offered is likely a credit to be applied on your next vehicle purchased from that exact dealership.
Furthermore, dealerships specialize in getting roadworthy cars sold; a non-running car is likely to get lowballed when being sold to them for that very reason.
Private buyers aren’t bound by pricing or condition constraints. If your model is a popular one, buyers will want it regardless of whether it works or not.
However, finding and vetting a prospective buyer for your non-running car can take a long time and involve negotiating with strangers, which can be uncomfortable.
Selling your non-running vehicle online is a great way to reach a larger audience of potential buyers. Platforms like Craigslist, AutoTrader, and Facebook Marketplace are just a few of the online avenues where you can sell your car.
There may be more buyers that buy broken cars than you’d expect, but they all have the same idea – to buy your car or van for as little money as possible.
