Sell Your Non-Running Car in Las Cruces, NM

Non-Running cars we buy in Las Cruces

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 Las Cruces buyer network specializes in non-running vehicles. Whether the car sits in your driveway in Doña Ana 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.
