Get paid fast for your unwanted vehicle

As a family-owned and operated business, we value providing our customers with an enjoyable and straightforward experience. We also know that it can be challenging to sell your old car. Whether you’re dealing with tyre-kickers or price gougers, we’re proud to offer a better alternative.

Thanks to our instant cash policy, you can sell your junk car and get paid immediately. You no longer need to wait for cheques to clear or funds to transfer. Using Osko, our buyers can remotely authorise an electronic payment that appears in your account within seconds, allowing you ultimate convenience. This fast method also comes with the added benefit of security, which is not always guaranteed in a private car sale.

If you’re interested in getting paid for your broken vehicles fast, look no further than 1800 Salvage. Fill out our online form, and one of our friendly team members will contact you shortly.

Cash for cars of all conditions

Enjoy our hassle-free service

Selling your unwanted car can unnecessarily strain your time and wallet. Whether you invest in repairs or wait for an evaluation, your energy can be better used elsewhere. That’s why our comprehensive service allows you to get rid of your vehicle with ease.

Our 100% online process lets us remotely appraise your vehicle within an hour of your enquiry. This means you don’t need to queue in an assessment centre or pay to register your vehicle, allowing you to sell faster than ever before.

Free car removal

On top of swift payments and a stress-free approach to sales, we also offer all 1800 Salvage customers complimentary vehicle collection. Whether you’ve got several scrap cars sitting on your property or a warehouse full of broken machinery, we’ll pick it up. 

Can’t be present on-site when your car is being collected? No worries! Our handy transport partners can still perform your free car removal. Simply leave the keys in a disclosed location with a 3-metre towing clearance around the vehicle, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Salvage vehicle for sale

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Can you pick up my vehicle today?

We can offer same-day car removal in certain situations. This depends on when we finalise the contract, your vehicle's location, and the availability of our tow truck providers. Let us know as soon as possible if our same-day service is required. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

FAQ icon

What do you do with my car once I sell it to you?

1800 Salvage works with a network of Paddington car wreckers, wholesalers, repairers and auction houses to keep the second-hand vehicle and parts market moving. We connect trusted automotive businesses within Australia to the vehicle and vehicle parts they need.

FAQ icon

Can you pay cash in hand for my car?

No, the current legislation prohibits the exchange of cash in this scenario. We also find Osko payments to be a safer and more secure payment method for all parties involved. If you’re interested in learning more about our process, give our friendly team a call today.

FAQ icon

I have multiple vehicles I want to sell. Can you quote them all?

Most definitely! To make the process as easy as possible, call our team, and we can work through each vehicle you have for sale and get you the best price possible. With 1800 Salvage, you can say goodbye to your trucks with ease.

FAQ icon

Will the offer on my vehicle be the price you pay?

As long as the vehicle has been described and represented correctly, we will pay the quoted amount. If the information you have given us on the vehicle is incorrect, we will need to revise the offer in order to provide a fair price.
