Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Do you buy auto parts in Richmond?

No. We only buy whole vehicles. We can give you an estimate for your parts or scrap metal. If you like, we’ll connect you with local car wreckers to dispose of them sustainably.

FAQ icon

Can you buy my junk car in Richmond if it's under finance?

Being a licensed motor vehicle dealer, 1800 Salvage generally can’t buy cars still under finance. However, we can help you remove an encumbrance. Sometimes our purchase offer exceeds your amount owing. If we get a payout letter from your finance company, we’ll handle contract payouts and transfer any remaining funds to you. We can pay your finance in exchange for the vehicle if it's the same amount owed.

FAQ icon

What does 1800 Salvage do to stay environmentally conscious?

Every car recycled with us is de-polluted. Our comprehensive cash-for-cars service is environmentally beneficial because every unused car emits pollution. We recycle vehicle parts through our Australia-wide partner network.

FAQ icon

When I sell my unwanted car to 1800 Salvage, what do you do with it?

1800 Salvage has a nationwide network of repairers, professional car wreckers, wholesalers and auction houses to keep the second-hand vehicle and parts market moving. We specialise in connecting reputable Australian automotive businesses to the vehicles and parts they need.

FAQ icon

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

All licenced motor car dealers are regulated by a business licencing Australia. Your transactions, identification and personal data are protected as 1800 Salvage strictly complies with all licensing rules. Be careful dealing with any unlicenced car-buying companies, as it’s often a scam.
