Should you fix it first?
Repair or sell as-is?
If a repair costs more than the car would be worth once fixed, selling it as-is is usually the better deal. Major engine or transmission work often costs thousands — more than an older car’s value.
Selling a non-running car privately is hard: buyers want to drive it first and you’ll need to arrange towing yourself. A junk car buyer removes that hassle with one offer and a free tow.
