Should I sell my damaged car or repair it?
Ask yourself the question – is the repair work going to cost more than the value it will add to the car? If the car is a family heirloom, a coveted classic that you spent years sourcing then of course repair it. And repair it well! If it’s going to cost an arm and a leg and, you don’t have a spare limb then perhaps it’s time to consider selling your vehicle. Is it time to sell?
Should I sell my damaged car to a garage or a damaged car buyer?
A common frustration with dealing with a garage is the sudden appearance of ‘issues’ with the car. If you’ve found yourself with a list of faults that chip away at the price you expected from a garage then walk away. Look at another route to sell. A damaged car buyer will simply offer you a cash price based on the details you provide online – year, make, model.
What is the difference between damaged and broken cars?
Here’s a rundown of categories.
- Category A (Scrap) – cars that are not suitable for repair. No part of the car can be used for salvage and the car must be scrapped.
- Category B (Break) – cars that are not suitable for repair. Parts of the car can be used.
- Category S (Structural) – cars that have received structure frame or chassis damage. The insurer/owner has chosen not to repair the car and it can be salvaged.
- Category N (Non-Structural) – cars that have no structural damage. The insurer/owner has decided not to repair the car.
