Selling a Damaged Car Doesn’t Have to Be Difficult.
Let’s face it: selling a damaged car on your own is a nightmare. It’s like the dealers can sense your desperation, which explains their insulting offers. And don’t get us started on private buyers, 99% of whom are just a big waste of your time and energy. Meanwhile, it’s still costing you in insurance and just sitting there, taking up space on the drive.
You shouldn’t be taken advantage of just because your car is damaged. WE can end all that pain now and give you a FAIR price you’ll be happy with.
What is considered a damaged car?
We value everything from chipped windscreens to total write-offs. So whether you’re dealing with minor cosmetic scuffs or major structural damage from a collision, you can sell your damaged car to us in any condition.
Here are some common situations of damaged cars that we buy from our happy customers:
✅Selling a car with engine issues (blown engine, timing chain failure, seized engine) | ✅Failed MOT with high repair costs |
✅Gearbox issues (won’t shift, complete transmission failure) | ✅Water or flood damage |
✅Accident damage (front-end crash, structural damage, airbags deployed) | ✅Fire or vandalism damage |
✅Non-runner (car won’t start at all) | ✅Suspension or chassis damage |
✅Electrical faults (dashboard lit up, persistent warning lights) | ✅Written-off by insurance (Category S or N) |
No matter what it is, we’re interested. We don’t haggle. We don’t waste time. We are enthusiastic damaged car buyers through and through.
