Selling a Non-Running Car for Cash in Philadelphia

Your car does not have to start to be considered for a cash offer. Describe its condition and pickup access before arranging removal.

A car that does not run can still be considered

L & S Towing & Recovery buys junk cars in any condition and provides broken car removal. A failed engine, damaged transmission or car that has been sitting does not automatically rule out a cash offer. You do not need to drive the car to the business to ask about selling it.

The offer is based on the vehicle being evaluated, not simply on whether it starts. Give the year, make, model and known condition. If you do not know why it stopped running, say that rather than guessing at a diagnosis.

Explain whether it can roll and be loaded

A non-running car with wheels that turn presents different access needs from one with locked wheels or missing tires. Tell the team about flat tires, steering problems, missing keys and any obstacles around the vehicle. Photos may help you describe the situation if the team requests them.

Do not attempt to start or move a vehicle that appears unsafe. If there are leaks, fire damage or other hazards, describe them before anyone arrives. The team needs those details to assess the removal, not just the purchase offer.

Compare removal with your other options

If you are deciding between repair and selling, consider a repair estimate alongside the cash offer and your own plans for the vehicle. There is no universal repair-cost threshold that makes every car a junk car. A vehicle you want to keep may call for towing to a repair shop instead.

For an unwanted vehicle you choose to sell, L & S Towing & Recovery offers cash for junk cars with free towing. Confirm that you are arranging a purchase and removal rather than a separate transport job.
