If a person gets into an accident, there are still people who will buy the car. People such as salvage yards, people who like to fix cars, people who buy cars cheap and then trade them in for newer cars, car dealers, and others will likely want to buy your car. Depending on the extent of the damage, selling a damaged car is not that much different from selling a car that has not been involved in an accident.

          Whenever a person sells a car that has been involved in an accident, it is up to them to inform potential buyers. If not, and it is determined after the car is sold, that the car is damaged, the buyer has every right to expect their money back would win in court if they can prove the damage occurred prior to purchase. Being honest with people will deter some from buying the car, but there are many people who would still consider buying it. Trading in a car that has been in an accident is probably the quickest way to sell a car. If a person needs a new car right away, they can use the trade in money as a down payment. Many dealers offer trade in deals on cars that have been involved in accidents. 

           If the damage is minor, such as scratches to the paint or a broken window, the car can still be sold. Have the car inspected to make sure there is no internal damage before selling it. Many people will buy the car if the price is right and fix the cosmetic damage later or not at all. There are many people who are looking for a car that can get them to work and back. They are not concerned with the car’s appearance. As the car runs well, they are happy.
