Engine or not, still scrap your car with us

You may be wondering if it is worth scrapping a car without an engine. Fortunately, there is no reason why you cannot scrap a car without an engine. In fact, you can still get a reasonable price for it. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the value of your vehicle will be reduced without an engine.

The value of a car without an engine will depend on several factors, such as the make and model of the car, its condition, and its history. For example, a classic car without an engine may be worth more than a newer car with an engine simply because it is rare.

Reasons Why Your Car No Longer Has an Engine 

• The engine mounts can weaken over time. It is especially true if the car has high mileage. When the engine mounts weaken, they can no longer support the engine's weight. It can cause the engine to shift around and eventually fall out. 
• Your car may no longer have an engine because it has been sitting out of the car for an extended period. This position is quite attractive to thieves. They are always looking for older cars that they can strip for parts, and an engine is one of the most valuable parts they can take. Once they have it, they will sell it to a scrap metal dealer. 

Different Options on How to Sell a Car Without an Engine

There are a few different ways you can go about selling your engine-less car: 

• You can sell your car as a parts car. It means you sell the car for its parts instead of as a whole vehicle. You can get a good price for the parts, especially if your car’s a popular model. 
• Another option is to sell your car as a project car. It is a good option if your car is in good overall condition but needs a new engine. You can usually find buyers who are willing to pay a decent price for a project car. 
• Of course, you can also sell your car without an engine as is. If you are okay with a lower price, it is possible to find a buyer who's willing to take your car as is and install a new engine themselves.

How Can You Get a Better Deal?

If your car no longer has its engine, you must ensure that what is left is in the best condition possible. It means cleaning and maintaining the exterior and interior of your car. You should also keep the engine bay clean and free of debris.
