So, you want to find damaged repairable cars online, but you may not know how?  There are plenty of them out there, and technically, any damaged car is “repairable”, but I can understand from your prospective that you want to make a profit on the car, before you pull the trigger, and purchase it.

Here’s how you can find damaged repairable cars for yourself…

  • eBay: eBay has a great motors section, and it’s available for both new, used, and cars that don’t work.  If you’re solely looking for a car that you want to repair, try typing in keywords such as “doesn’t run”, “damage”, etc.   This will limit you to the cars that aren’t going to work for you.  You can also filter out your results on the left hand side as well.
  • Craigslist: Just like eBay, you can find cars on this free classified site as well.  The reason that people like this site so much is because they are able to post listings for free.  This is great for you, because there’s going to be more of a selection.  Just make sure that you’re dealing with a legit seller, and never EVER send money over the Internet, until you meet the ad creator in person.
  • Government Auctions: Government auctions are filled with great listings, and when I look at them, the fair majority of them are damaged.  Many of them run, but are going to need some cosmetic repairs.  What I find is that many people are just simply turned off by cars that need work.

These are by far the top 3 way steps that you can take when you’re looking to find good damaged cars that you can fix.  Whether you want to turn a profit, or maybe you want it for yourself.  Try these 3 steps out, and see if you can find a car for yourself.
