Sell your damaged Toyota Corolla

Owners of a damaged Corolla nearly always tell us the same thing: the car had another decade in it. They are usually right, which is precisely the problem. Corollas stay in service so long that the average one we are asked to buy is a high-kilometre car with a modest book value, and a single collision at that age costs more to put right than the vehicle is worth. Add the Corolla Quest, sold in volume to e-hailing operators, and the damaged supply never dries up.

Damage we see on the Toyota Corolla

E-hailing use shapes a large share of Corolla damage: high-kilometre cars with repeat minor collision history, worn interiors and one final impact that ends the repair case. Front and rear shunts in dense city traffic are the norm, with intersection side impacts a close second. The shells are structurally sound, so straight panels and glass are worth recovering.

Whether your Toyota Corolla has accident damage, flood or hail damage, a blown engine, or has been written off by an insurer as a Code 2, Code 3 or Code 4 vehicle, we will make you an offer. It does not need to run, and it does not need to be roadworthy.
