Can you trade in a car that's not running?

Question

Can you trade in a car that's not running?

Answer 1

That depends on the dealer's rules and requirements.

Most dealers will take it, just don't expect to get much for it.

If the car is not running, I suggest you see how much you can get for it at a scrap yard or by selling it yourself before you trade it in. That way, you are more likely to get more money.

Answer 2

Yes.

The stealers, I mean..Car DEALERS just fudge the numbers around so that it looks like you are getting a good deal, running or not. You end up paying more anyway.

Answer 3

Sure.  Haven't you seen the commercials?  "We trade for anything, drive it, push it, tow it and your trade is worth $x*x off the price..."

Answer 4

Just make them discount the car.  If they say no go home.  They will call.  Donate your old car to the Salvation Army.
