Sell Your Damaged or Accident Car in UAE: Get the Best Price at Auction (2026)

Got a damaged, accident or non-running car in the UAE that you want to sell? Most private buyers will not touch it, and dealers usually offer very little. At auction it is different. Marhaba Auctions sells damaged and repairable cars every week to buyers, workshops and exporters who are actively looking for them, so your car gets real competition instead of one low offer. You can list it online in about 2 minutes, and if it cannot be driven, you can request our towing service.

Which cars can you sell?

• Accident-damaged cars - front, rear or side damage, with or without airbag deployment.
• Non-running cars - engine, gearbox or electrical problems.
• Flood or fire-affected cars.
• Old or high-mileage cars that are expensive to keep running.
• Cars written off by insurance, where you have the right paperwork to sell.

Buyers include workshops that repair and resell, parts buyers and exporters, which is why damaged cars still find a price at auction. See what buyers look at on our damaged cars for sale and salvage cars pages.
