Sell Your Wrecked Car for Cash

Accident damage, total loss, flood, fire — we buy all types of damaged vehicles. Get a fair cash offer regardless of how bad it looks.

Types of Damage We Buy

Collision Damage

Front-end, rear-end, T-bone, and rollover accidents. We buy vehicles where airbags have deployed and structural damage is visible. The scrap and parts value remains even when repair costs exceed the car's worth.

Totaled Vehicles

Insurance write-offs and total loss declarations. If you kept your totaled car after a settlement, or if the insurance company hasn't yet taken possession, we can often buy it — call to confirm your ownership status first.

Flood Damage

Water-damaged vehicles from storm flooding, ditch accidents, or parking lot floods. We buy vehicles at all flood damage levels, from minor water intrusion to fully submerged saltwater events.

Fire Damage

Engine fires, electrical fires, and exterior fire damage. Burned vehicles still contain substantial recyclable metal and often intact rear components. We assess each burned car individually for a fair offer.

Wrecked Car Value by Damage Level

Damage level affects value primarily by determining how much of the vehicle is still intact and saleable. Here is a rough framework for Georgia 2026:

Minor damage (one end)Small reduction

Front or rear collision, airbags deployed, engine or trunk intact

Moderate damage (both ends)Moderate reduction

Multiple impact points, structural damage, but drivetrain intact

Severe damage (rollover/fire)Significant reduction

Roof crushed, burned interior, but metal chassis intact

Total loss (stripped/crushed)Scrap weight only

No reusable parts remaining, sold purely for metal weight

Even the most severely damaged vehicle has scrap metal value. No car is too wrecked to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a wrecked car and a totaled car?

A totaled car is one that an insurance company has declared a total loss — meaning the repair cost exceeds a threshold of the vehicle's actual cash value (typically 70–80% in Georgia). A wrecked car may or may not be insurance-totaled. Both can be sold to a junk car buyer for cash. If your car has a salvage title (branded after being totaled and rebuilt), it can still be sold, though the offer reflects the lower secondary market value.

Can I sell my car if insurance already paid me out?

Yes, but check your insurance settlement terms first. If you accepted a total loss payout, your insurance company typically takes ownership of the vehicle — you may need to surrender the title to them. However, if the insurance settlement left you keeping the car (you took a partial payout for repair), you own it outright and can sell it to us for cash. Call your insurance company to confirm the ownership status before selling.

Do you buy flood-damaged cars?

Yes. Flood-damaged vehicles are one of the most common categories we purchase, especially in Georgia after heavy rain seasons. We assess flood cars based on how deeply the vehicle was submerged, whether it's a freshwater or saltwater flood event, and whether the engine was hydrolocked. Even severely flooded cars with total electrical failure have scrap and parts value — we provide offers for all flood damage levels.

What is a wrecked car worth in Georgia?

A wrecked car's value depends on how much of it remains intact. A front-end collision that destroyed the engine but left the rear end undamaged means the back half still has scrap and parts value. A rollover that crushed the roof but left the drivetrain intact is priced accordingly. Most wrecked cars in Georgia fetch $200–$900 depending on vehicle size and damage extent. Call with photos or a description and we'll give you an accurate offer.

My car has a salvage title — does that reduce the offer?

Slightly. A salvage title signals that the vehicle was previously declared a total loss, which means some buyers will discount the offer by 5–10%. However, if the vehicle was properly repaired after being salvage-titled and has intact major components, the actual scrap and parts value may be close to a clean-title vehicle of the same make and model. We evaluate each car individually rather than applying a blanket salvage-title discount.
