FAQs — Selling A Car With Engine Problems.
If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, read more FAQs from our customers or contact our team today.
What if I don’t know exactly what’s wrong with the engine?
That’s fine. You don’t need to diagnose the fault yourself. Tell us what you know, whether that’s ‘it won’t start’, ‘it overheated’, ‘the oil light came on’, ‘the garage says the timing chain has failed’, or ‘I’ve been quoted thousands to repair it’. We can still review the car and give you a quote.
What if the engine has completely failed?
We’ll still be interested, so get in touch with us today!
What if my car is stuck at a garage?
That is often straightforward. Many customers come to us after a garage or dealership has diagnosed an expensive engine fault. We can arrange collection from a garage, dealership, driveway, workplace or another suitable location, as long as access is agreed.
What if I still owe finance on the car?
You can still contact us. If there is outstanding finance, we can discuss the settlement figure and explain how the process works before anything goes ahead.
How long does it take to get my quote?
We aim to send all quotes within 1 hour during working hours (9 am-5 pm). Some vehicles may take slightly longer, but we always aim to respond as quickly as possible.
Is the offer guaranteed?
Yes. We don’t reduce our price on collection. The only time a price would change is if the vehicle details provided were incorrect.
Do I have to accept the quote?
Not at all. Your offer is valid for 21 days, so you have time to decide what’s right for you.
Will the price change after I accept?
No, not if the details you provide are accurate. Your offer is based on the condition, mileage, photos and information you submit, so there are no inspection tricks designed to knock the price down later.
What paperwork do I need to sell my car for scrap?
When selling your scrap car to Sell Your Problem Car, please have the following ready:
- Valid photo ID, such as a passport or driving licence
- Proof of address dated within the last 9 months, such as a utility bill or council tax statement
- V5C logbook, if available
- Your bank details, so we can make a secure payment
- Service history documents, if you have them
- All available keys
- Finance settlement details, if the vehicle has outstanding finance
Don’t worry if you don’t have every document to hand. Tell us what you do have when you request your quote, and we’ll explain what’s needed before collection.
If your car is being scrapped, you may receive a Certificate of Destruction. However, not every car with engine problems is automatically scrapped. Some vehicles may be repaired, resold or used for parts, depending on their age, condition and value.
