How to sell a car with a blown engine starts with one comparison: the repair quote against what the car is worth as-is. If the engine costs more than the car, selling it broken usually makes more sense. Peddle buys cars that don't run and tows them for free.
Get a written repair quote that covers the engine and labor. Then get an as-is offer. If the gap is small and the rest of the car is solid, a rebuild or used engine might pay off. If not, sell it as it sits.
Online instant-offer buyers, junkyards, salvage auctions, mechanics who flip cars, and private buyers looking for a project. Private sales can pay more but take longer, and you have to arrange the tow yourself.
Say the engine is blown, seized or knocking when you ask for a quote. Buyers who learn about it at pickup tend to cut the price.
Enter the VIN or year, make and model, then answer the condition questions honestly. Read the offer. You can decline it at no cost. Book a pickup time. The tow is free. Sign the title over, hand off the keys and get paid when the car leaves.
