Yes, you can junk a car that has been in an accident. Buyers will make offers based on salvageable parts and scrap metal no matter the severity of the accident. Accident damage is one of the more common reasons people sell to junk car buyers.
Accident damage could include:
- Front-end (hood, bumper, radiator, headlights)
- Rear-end (trunk, bumper, tail lights)
- Sides (doors, quarter panels, pillars)
- Rollover damage
- Frame and structural damage
- Airbag deployment
Even if insurance totals your car, you still have options. You might be able to keep the vehicle and accept a reduced payout, then sell to a junk car buyer for additional money. Worst case, insurance will take your car. You just have to check your policy and claim details.
