Sell Your Accident Car for Cash — No Repairs, No Hassle

3 min read

If your car’s been in a collision, you’ve probably got enough on your plate without trying to figure out what to do with a damaged vehicle. Whether ICBC has written it off, you’re waiting on a settlement, or you just don’t want to deal with repairs, Will Buy Car makes it simple: we buy accident cars for cash, as-is, and we come to you anywhere in Surrey, Langley, Delta, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, or Abbotsford.

What Happens When ICBC Writes Off Your Car

After a crash, your vehicle typically gets towed to an ICBC-approved repair shop for an estimate. If the repair cost comes close to or exceeds your car’s pre-crash value, ICBC will usually call it a total loss and offer you a settlement based on fair market value — not what you paid for it, and not always what you think it’s worth.

Two things can happen from there:

• You accept the settlement and ICBC takes the vehicle.

• You keep the vehicle (sometimes as part of a reduced settlement) and it gets a salvage title, meaning it has to be repaired and inspected before it can go back on the road.

If you end up owning a written-off or salvage-titled car — whether it’s driveable, half-repaired, or sitting in your driveway — you don’t have to sink more money into it. That’s exactly the kind of vehicle we buy every day.

Why Sell to Will Buy Car Instead of Repairing or Listing It

Repairing a written-off car is expensive, and reselling a damaged vehicle privately is slow — most buyers want a clean title and no accident history. Selling directly to us skips both problems:

• Cash the same day, paid on the spot or by e-transfer

• Free towing, even if the car doesn’t run or has front/rear-end damage

• No repairs needed — we buy it exactly as it sits, damage and all

• We handle the BC paperwork, including transfer forms if the title is complicated by a write-off or lienholder

• No listing, no waiting on private buyers to ask about the accident

What Kind of Accident Cars We Buy

We’re not picky about how bad the damage is. We regularly buy:

• ICBC write-offs and salvage-titled vehicles

• Cars with frame damage, airbag deployment, or flood damage

• Non-running vehicles left over after a collision

• Financed vehicles that were in an accident (we can work with your lienholder)

• Older or high-mileage cars where repair costs don’t make sense

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my car if ICBC already wrote it off?

Yes. If you kept the vehicle after settlement (or if you’re still deciding whether to accept ICBC’s offer on a car you own outright), we can buy it as-is, salvage title and all.

Do I need to fix anything before you buy it?

No. We buy accident vehicles in whatever condition they’re in — running or not, cosmetic damage or structural.

What if my car is still financed?

We can still help. Bring your loan payout information and we’ll walk you through how the sale works with your lienholder.

How fast can you pick up my car?

Most pickups in Surrey and the surrounding Lower Mainland happen the same day or next day, and towing is always free.

Will you buy a car with a salvage or rebuilt title?

Yes, both salvage and rebuilt titles are fine — this is one of the most common types of vehicle we purchase.
