Where can I sell my car that doesn’t run anymore?

I’ve been sitting on my old car that no longer works and I’m ready to move on and clean out. Where can I sell it?

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
normally expect the car to be worth
. 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.
