Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Are you a car dealer?

Yes, we are a highly regarded licenced car dealer. However, we can also provide purchase offers on anything with a motor! So whether you’ve got commercial trucks or fleet vehicles, motorcycles or recreational vehicles, we can help.

FAQ icon

Are your cash offers negotiable?

All 1800 Salvage offers on old or junk cars or other vehicles are firm and non-negotiable. However, please let us know if you believe we have missed something in our quoting stage.

FAQ icon

Does 1800 Salvage buy auto parts too?

No. 1800 Salvage only buys whole vehicles. We can estimate the value of your spare parts or scrap metal. If you like, we can also connect you with car wreckers in Melbourne who can dispose of your spare parts in an eco-friendly manner.

FAQ icon

Will you buy an unwanted vehicle from regional locations?

We have a huge network of transport providers across Australia. This helps us access and buy all vehicle types from even the most remote areas.

FAQ icon

Why is selling my old car through a licenced motor car dealer safer?

Business licencing Australia regulates all licenced motor car dealers. 1800 Salvage strictly complies with all rules meaning your transactions, identification and personal data are protected. Be very careful dealing with any unlicenced cash-for-cars company, as it could be a scam.

FAQ icon

Does 1800 Salvage need to assess my vehicle in person to provide me with a cash offer?

No. Using today’s latest technology and our experience, 1800 Salvage can complete all purchase quotes online via desktop assessment. Please attach plenty of photos so we can offer you the best possible price.
