1800 Salvage will pay cash for your broken-down car

Breakdowns are inevitable. But that doesn’t stop them from being any less of a pain in the neck. Worse still is realising your busted car is beyond repair: now you’ve got a broken-down, useless bucket on your hands. As it happens, our hands are filled with cash — how about a trade?

1800 Salvage will buy broken cars for an instant cash payment. We’re not fussy about the vehicle's condition, so if you’re ready to sell your broken car, we’ll pay top dollar for it.

We buy broken cars from private sellers and businesses alike. Whether you’ve got an unregistered rusted hunk up on cinders in your backyard or an insurance write-off hogging precious space at your panel beater garage, you can give us a call.

As our name suggests, we’re salvage specialists — not car wreckers. Your faithful four-wheeled friend will have its components restored, recycled and repurposed to give other cars and vehicles a second life. If you have a broken-down car, choose 1800 Salvage.

Turn your broken cars into easy cash

Our process for turning your broken car into a tidy profit is perfectly simple. We’ll assess your vehicle digitally with a few photos, send through your digital paperwork, and then deposit your payment within a matter of mere hours.

  • No price ceiling for the amount of cash we'll pay for your car
  • Free towing from your residence or business
  • We offer car removals for all makes, models, ages and conditions.

Salvage vehicle for sale

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Will you buy my unregistered broken car for cash?

Absolutely. We will buy broken cars no matter what their registration status is. 

Before we tow your broken vehicle away, we suggest you remove the license plates. You can return these plates to your local roads authority for reimbursement.

FAQ icon

Will you pay cash for extremely badly broken cars?

1800 Salvage will pay cash for cars no matter how badly broken. 

We accept cars that have been:

  • Storm damaged
  • Wrecked in a collision
  • Entirely written off

The only cars we cannot salvage are cars that have been entirely flooded.

FAQ icon

Can you remove my broken vehicle from regional areas?

We certainly can. Our vehicle towing partners at Sheen help us to offer 24-hour and same-day broken car towing services for regional areas.

FAQ icon

Can 1800 Salvage literally pay cash in hand for broken cars?

Unfortunately, we cannot literally pay cash in hand when we buy your broken cars. Due to government regulations, car salvage companies like 1800 Salvage cannot pay or receive cash when trading.

However, we can pay you by instantly depositing cash into your nominated bank account. Spending on your bank, you will receive your payment immediately or the next day.
