Trade in Your Vehicle w/ Engine Problems

My Car Needs A New Engine. Can I Sell It?

If your car's engine is blown, trying to find a buyer can take a lot of time and effort. In most cases, potential buyers will lowball you because they know the cost of repairs will be high.

Some car dealers may be reluctant to take your car since they'll have to invest funds into it to get it running again or part it out to profit off of it. In some cases, the cost of trying to rebuild your car's engine can exceed the value of the car itself. That can make trying to deal with it a major challenge.

Luckily, there's an easy solution.

At DamagedCars.com, we buy all less-than-perfect cars, no matter what's wrong with them.  We'll take your car, blown engine and all. We offer fair market rates for your vehicle, and can pick up your car and deliver payment in less than 48 business hours.

How To Sell A Car With A Bad Engine

If your car's engine has blown, you might be thinking about replacing it and getting a new vehicle. But what are your options for selling?

The truth is, trying to find a buyer will be a major challenge. Dealerships may not be willing to take your car since it's no longer drivable. Chances are you won't be able to trade it in for very much, if anything.

Scrap yards will probably take your vehicle, but they'll only pay for the price of the metal in your vehicle. You could try selling it for parts, but that requires know-how, effort and several weeks to months of negotiating. Your time is worth more than that.

Engine replacement will cost you an arm and a leg. In some cases, it may cost you more to replace your engine than the actual market value of your car. Replacing a blown engine often runs into thousands of dollars, sometimes up to $5,500 for the engine and labor costs.  

Along with being prohibitively expensive, repairing an engine is often not your best option. You have to pay the mechanic to thoroughly inspect your engine to see if the problem can be fixed, then attempt to fix it. What if the mechanic isn't as qualified as he says and your car breaks down 20 miles down the road?

What’s The Value Of A Car With A Bad Engine?

The reality is, valuing a car with a blown engine is a complicated matter. Every mechanic will come up with a different value for your car.

How much is a car with a blown engine worth? Well, you can typically expect the trade-in value of a car with a bad engine to drop at least $3,000 from what it would be worth with an engine that runs well. That’s how much a new engine could cost you.
