If your car doesn’t run, you might be asking yourself, “Can I sell this to a dealership?” The truth is: rarely. Most dealerships want vehicles that are ready to resell or need minimal repair. A non-running car is seen as a liability, as they would need to invest time, money, and effort to get it in sellable condition. When they do buy a car that doesn’t run, the offer is often low, and usually only a fraction of its actual value.
That’s where the CarBuyerUSA team comes in. We specialize in buying cars in any condition, whether they run or not. We pay top dollar, handle all paperwork, and even provide pickup anywhere in the U.S.
You don’t have to worry about towing, repairs, or negotiating with buyers who lowball you. Selling a non- running car has never been easier or more profitable.
Here’s a clear comparison to show why selling to CarBuyerUSA is the smarter choice:
Vehicle Condition |
Dealership Offer |
CarBuyerUSA Offer |
|---|---|---|
Doesn’t Run |
Very low, $200–$1,000 |
Fair market value, often 2–3x higher |
Needs Major Repairs |
Often refused or minimal |
Full cash offer, pickup included |
Running & Sellable |
Moderate, negotiable |
Highest cash offer |
As you can see, dealerships rarely give fair value for cars that don’t run. Even if they buy it, the offer is minimal. Selling privately isn’t much better, listing a broken car takes time, effort, and carries risk. You’ll need to coordinate pick-ups, deal with unqualified buyers, and hope the sale goes smoothly.
