Sell Your Damaged Car for Cash or Fix It? Which Is the Best Option?

Posted On June 4th, 2018

Car owners can find themselves in the dilemma of whether to sell their cars for cash or repair the cars. There are things to consider before you decide. Knowing how to determine your best choice is helpful when you have the right information. Consider the following information from Auckland Car Buyer.

Scrap My Car

If your car is not worth the cost of repairs, then you likely don’t have the choice to repair the car. Take into consideration the current value of the car if it were running. Next, take into consideration the cost of repairs. Are the costs of repairs higher than the present market value of the car? If so, it is likely best to scrap the car.

Old cars typically have poor fuel efficiency. Other problems include engine issues as well as gearbox issues, electrical problems and head gasket problems. The cars are typically in the shop more often, which means maintaining them is an expensive affair. Scrapping the car is the best option is such a scenario. Not only will you get cash that can be used to buy your next car, but you will also have peace of mind knowing that your car will be recycled and disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.

Repair the Car

Repairing an engine damaged car is sometimes a viable option. Generally, the option to repair the car is the right decision when the issue is minor & can be resolved easily. According to car experts, cars that were constructed from 2005 and over generally do not have major mechanical issues but may need some small repairs.

So, if your car falls under this category, it is a good idea to repair it. It is up to the owner if they would like to spend the costs of repairing their vehicle; however, each owner should take into consideration the cost of repairs and the value of the car before they make their decision. Find out how much it will cost to fix the car and if there will be similar issues again in the future, forcing you to spend more on repairs. If your car needs constant maintenance & repair works to keep it running, then selling it to a cash for car company is the way to go.
