Non-Running cars we buy in Carmel
Cars that don't start are our specialty. Free towing is always included — you never need to get the car running to sell it to us.
Our Carmel buyer network specializes in non-running vehicles. Whether the car sits in your driveway in Hamilton County or on a side street downtown, we send a flatbed at no cost to you.
What counts as a non-running car?
Won't start, dead battery, seized engine, blown head gasket, transmission failure, electrical issues — if it can't be driven onto a flatbed, we still want to buy it.
Most cars we purchase don't run. Our offers already assume the worst, so non-running condition usually won't drop your price further.
Free towing — always
Every non-running pickup includes a free flatbed tow. You don't need to push, jump-start, or move the car at all. The driver will winch it from your driveway, yard, or street.
How much is a non-running car worth?
Even non-runners have real value — the catalytic converter, engine block, transmission, body panels, and scrap metal all generate offer dollars. Most non-running cars fetch $150–$1,500 depending on year, make, and condition.

- 2002–2009 Toyota Camry
2002 Camrys with the 2AZ-FE 2.4L are oil burners; stripped head bolts and blown head gaskets end most of them by 180k.
