Selling an old car for parts is a great way to get some extra cash. You can try selling your car that doesn’t run on a personal ad listing or through a company that specifically seeks used cars and car parts.
When you sell a broken-down car, you can expect to get about 40 to 50% of what you would
. Try using the following sites to sell your vehicle:
eBay
Craigslist
Facebook Marketplace
Carmax
Coparts Direct
These are just a few options—and you may have some local companies that will buy your car for parts. If you go through a site like Carmax or Coparts Direct, you likely won’t be able to negotiate the buying price as you would with a personal ad listing, but you’ll take care of the job faster.
