Can I Sell Parts From My Totaled Car?

Totaled to Totally Complicated

First off, the term ‘totaled’ is one that insurance companies use to describe a vehicle that will cost more to repair than the car is actually worth. It is also considered ‘total loss’ if your car seems unsafe to repair. There are also different state standards when it comes to identifying when a car is totaled. So, for example, one state might say that a totaled car is one that costs 50% of its worth to repair, while another might say it's 100%.

When your insurance company pays you for your totaled car, they take into account the costs of towing and storage fees. Any cash leftover goes to you. If it is a leased car or a car you have payments on, the cash will go to the dealership directly. There is something you can get call ‘gap insurance’ to help protect you from having to pay off a totaled car if it is financed.

So About The Parts

In short, yes, you can sell parts from your totaled car but only if you don’t give the rights to your insurance company. Once they have it, there is nothing you can do. They will own everything in the car including stereos, the spare, and the tools with it. Salvaging it yourself would take time but could be a worthwhile venture.

If you need to sell your totaled car immediately, reliably and with the best offer then look no further.

We Do, In Fact, Specialize in Totaled Cars

WeBuyTotaledCars was founded on the idea of making selling your totaled, junk, or wrecked car a hassle-free process. To do this, we needed to build a network of salvage, junk, and recycling yards across the nation. We managed to cover most of the continental United States. We are still growing to this day and will continue to do so as long as we give satisfactory service.

You can imagine how we got our name. We thought “What’s the best way to get the message across that we buy totaled cars?" We realized later that we also buy junk, wreck, and overall less-than-perfect cars.
