Damage types vs typical offer impact

Mechanical failure after accident Offer considers engine/transmission condition and repair costs
Flood or fire damage High impact; specialist salvage buyers may be the market

Note: each offer depends on vehicle data, photos and market demand. For guidance on non-running vehicles, see our Sell Non-Running Car page; for broadly damaged vehicles, visit Sell Damaged Cars.
