Can you sell a financed car after an accident? Yes, it can be possible, but first establish how any loan secured against the car will be paid out and released.

An accident car sitting in your driveway can keep costing you long after the crash. There may be bills to review, parking space you cannot use and damage that gets worse while you decide what to do.

Other times a minor-looking knock turns into a repair quote that makes no financial sense at all. Working out which situation you’re in — before you commit to fixing the car — can save you weeks of back-and-forth …

If your car has been in a crash, sat outside since a flood, or simply won’t start any more, you’ve probably weighed up whether to sell it privately or just call a wrecker.
