If I have several old, non-running cars accumulated on my property, is it better to sell them all together or separately?
Short answer: Selling them together to one buyer is usually more convenient — a single pickup arrangement rather than coordinating multiple separate transactions — and buyers dealing with several vehicles at once may offer a modestly better combined rate given the collection efficiency, though it's still worth getting a rough per-vehicle sense of value to make sure the combined offer is fair.

Coordinating one pickup for several vehicles is far less hassle than arranging separate transactions, and a buyer collecting multiple cars in one trip saves on their own logistics costs, which can translate into a modestly better combined offer.
Making sure the combined price is fair
Ask for a rough breakdown of what each vehicle is being valued at within the combined offer, rather than accepting one lump figure with no visibility — this lets you sanity-check that the total reflects the vehicles fairly rather than one or two being significantly undervalued.
Practical considerations for multiple vehicles
Check that all vehicles are actually accessible for towing on the same visit, and confirm the buyer’s process for handling the paperwork (registration cancellation, disposal documentation) for each vehicle individually.
