The customer problem
When keeping the vehicle stops making sense
Repairs and projects sometimes stop halfway. Engines, catalytic converters, wheels, body panels, interiors or keys may be gone, leaving a vehicle that is harder to sell and move.
Further dismantling can reduce value and make loading more complicated. Exposed interiors and engine bays can also deteriorate quickly outdoors.

Incomplete Cars and Missing Parts: frequently asked questions
Do you buy cars with no engine?
Some incomplete vehicles can be considered. The rest of the vehicle, documents, location and loading needs matter.
What if wheels are missing?
Disclose how many wheels are missing and send photos. Pickup may require different equipment or may not be feasible in every location.
Can I sell a car without keys?
Missing keys can be considered, but steering locks, transmission position and access affect pickup.
Should I remove more parts before selling?
Request an offer first. Removing more components can change both value and pickup feasibility.
Do you buy stripped vehicles?
Evaluation is case by case. Provide a complete inventory and photos rather than assuming.
Can you remove a vehicle from soft ground?
Ground conditions and truck access must be reviewed. Send photos and describe mud, slope, obstacles and distance from a firm surface.
