Yes. Junk car buyers specialize in accident-damaged vehicles. Whether your car has minor fender damage or major collision destruction, buyers will make offers based on salvageable parts and scrap metal. Accident damage is one of the most common reasons people sell to junk car buyers.
Types of accident damage buyers accept:
- Front-end collisions (hood, bumper, radiator, headlights)
- Rear-end damage (trunk, bumper, tail lights)
- Side impacts (doors, quarter panels, pillars)
- Rollover damage
- Frame and structural damage
- Airbag deployment
- Total loss vehicles from insurance claims
Value depends on damage location and severity:
- Front-end damage often affects the engine (lower value)
- Rear-end damage may leave drivetrain intact (higher value)
- Side damage varies based on what’s affected
- Undamaged components retain full parts value
If insurance totaled your car, you may have options. Sometimes you can keep the vehicle and accept a reduced payout, then sell to a junk car buyer for additional money. Other times, insurance takes the car. Check your policy and claim details.
