Buying A Non Op Car In California

If you suspect the vehicle you plan on buying has unpaid tickets, ensure you get a well written bill of sale clearly indicating the date of purchase, down to the hour, and have the seller sign it. You never know how many citations a vehicle may have accumulated, especially if it was being advertised for sale while parked on a public street.

Both new and used car dealerships buy used vehicles. If you're buying a new car from a dealership, you can tow your non-running car there and have them determine its value. If the dealer can't resell it, they may find a use for its parts, which can still result in some trade-in value. Then, you can apply that offer to a new vehicle from the same dealership.

Ask your local mechanic if they're interested in buying your vehicle. Many mechanics and repair shops purchase damaged vehicles or cars that don't run and use them for parts. If you've taken it to the mechanic for an estimate to get it running again, ask what their price would be to buy it as-is. 041b061a72
