Repair Costs More Than the Car Is Worth?

When Repairs Don't Make Financial Sense

There's a simple rule: if repairs cost more than 50% of your car's value, it's usually time to move on. But even cars that "aren't worth fixing" have value — often more than you'd expect.

• Engine replacement: $3,000-$7,000 — often exceeds car value
• Transmission rebuild: $2,500-$5,000 — major decision point
• Head gasket: $1,500-$3,000 — depends on the car
• Multiple issues: When repairs stack up, it's time to sell

Your Car Is Still Worth Money

Here's what most people don't realize: a car that's "not worth fixing" to you is still valuable to us. We're not going to fix it and drive it — we're going to sell the parts, recycle the metal, and pay YOU based on that value.

• That blown engine? Other parts are still good
• That bad transmission? The engine, body, interior still have value
• Even complete non-runners have $200-$500 in scrap value minimum
• Trucks, SUVs, and popular models often worth $800-$2,000+

Stop Throwing Money at a Losing Battle

We see it all the time: someone spends $1,500 fixing their car, then 3 months later the transmission goes. Then they need brakes. Then the radiator cracks. At some point, you have to stop.
