How to sell my car with a broken transmission in BC

(Last Modified on: March 29, 2020)

If you have ever sold a car, you will be able to provide testament to how much of a pain it is. This is why one would assume that it would be so much harder to sell a scrap car. And what an understandable assumption to make. How would you attract potential buyers with a vehicle that has permanently broken down? It seems like it should be impossible to sell your disabled car. Of course, at some point someone who buys unwanted cars as sources of used parts would eventually buy it. But expect to wait a long time.

Easier way to sell your car with a bad transmission

If the vehicle in question’s transmission is completely broken, the situation is even worse. For people looking for parts, a working transmission is especially attractive. If you need to sell a car that has a failed transmission, you may feel extremely daunted by the prospect of having to sell it. However, the truth is that it is actually very easy. So, let’s look at how one goes about selling an automobile that does not have a functioning transmission?

The Cost of Fixing a Vehicle that has Broken Transmission

The transmission can be an incredibly costly component to fix. The minimum you will need to pay is $800, but it is normally much more and can go all the way up to $6000. And it is highly likely to turn out that the repairs will actually cost you more than the car itself can be valued at. When you can safely say that your car needs repairs that require more money than it is worth, you can also go right ahead and say that it is a scrap vehicle.

How to tell that the Transmission Is Failing

At least your transmission won’t fail silently. It will definitely kick up some sort of a stink, which will come in the form of symptoms. One sign of a transmission that is on its last legs is slipping whenever you change gears. It may seem as though the gears have a mind of their own. You may hear a sound similar to whining emanating from the engine. If you are experiencing difficulty while changing gears, put that down as another sign.

If you find a puddle of fluid appearing under your car, check to see if is the transmission that is leaking. You can do so by taking note of the fluid’s colour. Is it bright or dark red? Is the check engine light going? Your transmission may be on the fritz.

What to do if the Transmission Is Failing

Get a quote from your local mechanic to fix the problem. On top of that, find out how much your car is worth. These two figures need to be put into a simple math equation. When you can see what the difference is between those two numbers, you can make a decision. If the cost of repair is larger than how much your car is worth, the option now is to get rid of the vehicle by way of selling it. Who to? The answer to that question is simple! Sell it to an auto wrecking company such as Broken Car Collection!
