The $300 Best-Offer Guarantee

Sell a car with problems.

Hail, a transmission quote, 200,000 miles, a car that will not start. Every one of these is still worth money in this metro — the only question is whether fixing it first makes you any.

Selling a car with problems in the St. Louis metro with Sell My Car STL

The one rule

A repair you fund is a repair the next owner enjoys

Almost every page below makes the same argument with different arithmetic: a repair paid at retail prices rarely returns its own cost in resale value. We price the fault at our cost, with our parts and our shop rates, which is why a car sold as it sits usually nets more than the same car sold after you have paid someone else to fix it.

The pages are not interchangeable, because the economics genuinely are not. A hail car is mechanically perfect and worth real money. A car that will not start is a different transaction entirely. Each one says plainly where we are the wrong buyer, too.

Every one of these is a normal week at either lot — in Ballwin or O'Fallon, on either side of the river. If the paperwork is the part worrying you, start with the St. Louis selling guides, and see every area we serve.

Straight talk

Sometimes the answer is not us

A genuine parts car with no drivetrain left belongs at a salvage yard, and a vehicle an insurer has already declared a total loss is almost always worth more as a settlement than as a sale. Every page in this cluster says so in its own words, because a buyer who will not tell you that is not worth trusting on the rest of it.

Describe it and we will tell you

Don't take our word for it — ask the robots

An honest page has nothing to hide from a second opinion.
