Sell a damaged car in Great Easton
When a car is badly damaged, the repair bill can be more than the car is worth. If you want to sell a damaged car in Great Easton, we buy it as it is. Enter the reg and postcode on our instant price page, describe the damage, and decide if the price suits you.
Flood damage on low valley roads
Great Easton sits in the Welland valley, and some of the low roads around the village can flood after heavy rain. Drivers who misjudge the depth, or who park where water later rises, can end up with serious damage. Water in the engine, wet electrics and soaked interiors are expensive to put right, and many insurers will write a flooded car off.
If that has happened to your car, we can buy it. Tell us about the flooding when you get your price, and we will collect once the road is passable and safe.
Accident damage and write-offs
We also buy cars damaged in collisions, from a bump at a junction to a slide on a wet lane. If your insurer wrote the car off and you took it back as a buy-back, that is fine too.
| Write-off category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cat A | Must be crushed entirely |
| Cat B | Body shell must be crushed, some parts can be salvaged |
| Cat S | Structural damage, can be repaired and returned to the road |
| Cat N | Non-structural damage, can be repaired |
We buy Cat S, Cat N and Cat B buy-backs. Tell us the category when you get your price.
Collecting a car that can't be driven
Damaged cars often cannot be driven, and some will not roll. Our collections use trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, so we bring a beavertail, a spec lift or a winch as needed, and dollies and skates for wheels that will not turn. The lanes around Great Easton are narrow, so tell us where the car is sitting and what the access is like.
What is a damaged car worth?
Damage is not usually the main factor. A scrap price is based mostly on weight and the current scrap metal price. What makes a difference is whether parts like the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels are still present, along with the make and model, keys, V5C and location.
See our damaged car cost guide for more. If the car turns out different from your description, we explain before we load, and you can say no.
Should I repair or scrap a damaged car?
If the car is a Cat S or Cat N, it can legally be repaired and returned to the road, so some owners weigh up fixing it. The honest test is cost. If the parts and labour come to more than the car will be worth afterwards, selling it as it stands usually makes more sense. Our guide on whether to scrap or repair helps you compare.
What to have ready
- Photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport.
- Proof of address, which the law requires us to check.
- The V5C logbook, or proof of ownership if it is missing.
- Any letters from your insurer about the write-off.
- The keys, if you have them.
Clear out personal items too. After a flood, check under the seats and in the boot well, as belongings can end up in odd places.
Paid properly, scrapped properly
We pay by bank transfer at collection. Anyone offering cash for a damaged car is breaking the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
Your car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility. It issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Keep the certificate as proof you are no longer responsible for the car. Our guide on the Certificate of Destruction explains why it matters. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically, and you should cancel your insurance if it is still running.
