Sell your car fast with our simple process 

When you’re ready to sell your car, don’t wait around for the unpredictability of a private sale. Whether you’re due an upgrade or have a second car that just doesn’t get the run it used to, we’re here to help. 

Use the form on our website to send us your vehicle details. From there, our team of buyers will compare it against current market data and send you an honest and fair offer that reflects its value. Your offer is valid for 7 days, so there’s no rush to accept it. 

When you’re keen to go ahead, we’ll organise free collection for a time that suits you. Usually we can arrange it for the next 1-2 business days. At pick-up, we’ll send you the funds instantly via an Osko transfer, and the money will be available in your bank account in just a few minutes. 

At 1800 Salvage, selling your car to us is hassle-free and simple. Send us your vehicle information, and our team will take care of the rest.

Cash for cars of all conditions

Payment for your vehicle instantly at pick-up 

When you want to sell your car, you also want to access your funds without delay - and we get that. That’s why at collection, you’ll get paid almost instantly for your vehicle. As soon as our driver arrives, we’ll transfer the funds from head office through Osko, and they'll land in your account in a couple of minutes. 

So why not sell your car with the peace of mind that comes with licensed buyers? Our process follows the same standard every time, so you’ll always have clarity around payment.

We make the process simple with free collection

We make selling your car simple by offering free removal. There’s no need to bring your vehicle to us or arrange transport yourself. We’ll tow away from the car’s exact location. Whether it’s parked on your Lyons property or stuck on a public street near the shopping strip, we’ll complete a safe removal. 

To make selling as easy and convenient as possible, choose a comprehensive service with us, and don’t lift a finger.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Will you issue a bank cheque made payable to me?

Our payments are made via a secure Osko transfer. If this isn’t suitable for you, please contact one of our friendly team members by phone to discuss the sale.

FAQ icon

If my car has a modification, will you still purchase it?

Yes, if your car has been modified, we will still take a look and send you an offer. Simply submit your enquiry and let us know what changes have been made to the vehicle.

FAQ icon

I want to sell my car, how do I get started?

Simply send us your vehicle details through our online enquiry form. If you have any questions, we’ll guide you through the process. From there, our team will send you an offer, and when you accept, we’ll collect your vehicle for free. 

FAQ icon

Do you need a thorough inspection that takes into account the condition?

We don’t need to thoroughly inspect the condition in person. We’ll evaluate your vehicle based on the digital information you send over to us, including the images.

FAQ icon

Can you help me get upgraded into a newer model?

Of course. While we don’t sell vehicles, we can help you upgrade by buying your old vehicle for fast cash to put toward your next one. It’s a hassle and stress free way to get you upgraded.

FAQ icon

Are you a dealership?

No, we aren’t a car dealer. We only purchase vehicles; we don't sell vehicles or parts. Our comprehensive service includes purchasing vehicles with free removal.
