Where to sell an old car that won't start

There's a pile of reasons why your car won't start. Some are easy to fix, like a dead battery or bad spark plugs. Some are spendier to solve, like a blown engine or electrical issues. If your old car is too far gone, it doesn't mean it's worthless. Here are some avenues to take if you're looking for a quick sale or the best price.

Junkyards and salvage yards

They are usually willing to buy any car in any condition, often for parts or scrap metal. You can call around to local junkyards, getting quotes over the phone, and arrange for them to come out to inspect the car and take it off your hands..

Private buyers

If the car has valuable parts or can be fixed up, you could get a fair offer if you list it online, like Craigslist, Facebook, or local classifieds. Be honest about the car's condition and be ready to negotiate. Finding a buyer willing to deal with a non-running clunker can take time and effort.

Charities and donations

If you just want to get rid of an eyesore taking up space, donate it to a charity. Most accept non-running cars and will tow them away for free. Plus, you get a tax deduction while supporting a good cause.
