What is a Non-Running Car?

A non-running car can be either of the following:

  1. A Car that Does Not Start at All
  2. A Car that Starts but Does Not Move Forward or Back on it’s own Power.

How Much Can I Get for My Non-Running Car?

The average amount we paid out per non-running car was $1,000. That is about $200 less than a running car. There are several factors at play here, such as the age of the vehicle, damage, location, mileage, etc. These are based on overall values from over 20,000 cars purchased last year by Zippy Cash for Cars.
