Yes, you can sell a car with a blown engine, serious engine fault or other major mechanical problem without repairing it first. The important question is whether the repair cost makes sense compared with what the car would be worth once fixed — and what it is worth as it sits. If the numbers do not stack up, selling the whole vehicle as-is can be the simpler option.
When a repair bill starts getting close to what the vehicle itself is worth, it is worth stopping and doing the maths before approving the work.
A $700 repair on a reliable $8,000 car may be easy to justify. A $5,000 engine job on a car worth around $6,000 is a very different decision — especially if it also has rust, an expired WoF, high kilometres or other repairs coming up.
The question is not simply, “Can this be fixed?” Most vehicles can. The better question is, “Does fixing it still make sense?”
