I bought a car that turned out to be in such bad shape I can not get it certified as mechanically sound for insurance purposes. So I need to sell it and recover my money to buy a new used car. This time I will get a mechanic to look at it before I buy it. Hind site is 20/20

sell it and let the person know what's wrong with it
you know what they say one man's junk is another man's treasure!

If you don't want to continue the cycle of wanton dishonesty , lower the price & be up-front & advertise that the car needs work . What goes around comes around and you don't want to be scamming some poor soul worse off than you are .Take the original owner to small claims .

If it's in that bad a shape, there might be a legal bar to selling it, especially without full disclosure. Your only recourse is through the seller, but your chances aren't that good there.

You can sell it as is. You, as a private seller, are not required to disclose defects, unless they make the car unsafe to drive. (if the brakes do not work and you let someone drive thinking they do, you may have legal liability.

If it were me I would sell it through a public auto auction, as is!

It seems like 80% of used car salesmen don't mind. Of course, if you've got a conscience, be honest.

That would be illegal and wrong. Sell it but be up front about what is really wrong with the car.

Only if who I am selling it to was well aware what type of problems the vehicle has.
