Selling Your
Totaled Car

Trading in a totaled car is much easier than most people think. However, the trade value will likely be negatively affected by the damage done to the vehicle.

There are numerous factors you have to consider when determining the value of a totaled car. First, the make and model play a big role in how much a car is worth after it has been wrecked. The year, condition before the accident and the number of miles on the odometer all play a role. Finally, the area of the country where you live can also have an impact on how your wrecked car is worth. Thus, it is important to use an online calculator or directory and work with experts to determine the exact value of your totaled automobile.

Deciding what to do with a totaled car doesn’t have to be difficult, but there are several options to consider. Many people opt to sell their wrecked car to the insurance company through the settlement process. You can also choose to find a buyer locally for the car, or if the damage isn’t too bad you might consider having the repairs done with a trusted mechanic in your area.
