2. How To Get The Most Cash For Your
Damaged Car
Got a car that’s been sitting on your garage for the
longest time? Although sentimental value is stopping
you from selling, you need to know that the damaged
car is taking too much space and dirt already – unless
you plan to have it fixed.
The good news is you can still make money out of it.
It’s just a matter of knowing what to do and how to
sell it properly. Here are tips on how to sell your
damaged car for cash.
4. Assess the Damage
If you want to know how much money
you can make, make sure you know how
damaged the car is. Asking for a
mechanic’s help can be useful to
determine how much the car is worth
and whether there are certain parts that
can still be used or in a good condition.
These factors will affect the value of
your car, hence having someone check
the car is important.
5. Repair the Vehicle
If you have extra cash and you want to make the most out
of a damaged car by selling it to someone, then fixing it is
your best option. However, you need to ask yourself if it is
feasible or not and the availability of the car parts.
The cost of repair will depend on the condition of the car
and to be added on the selling price. Just make sure that
the car will be functional and driveable before selling it. In
case there are potential buyers looking at the car, inform
them that once upon a time, it was a piece of junk.
6. Sell Parts from the Car
If you don’t have the time and money to fix a damaged car,
the least you can do is to sell the parts that can be used
individually. Offer the parts to salvage yards. However, if
you want to make sure that you are getting the price
appropriate for the working parts, offer them to private
buyers. There are many online sites such as eBay and
Craigslist where all you need to do is to sign up, post the
item you wish to sell and wait for potential clients. Just
make sure you won’t be charging an exorbitant amount.
As to the unusable parts in the car? You can sell it as a
scrap metal and still make money out of it. Easy, right?
