Frequently asked questions
No, only whole vehicles. However, we’re happy to provide an estimate for old or scrap car parts and even connect you with nearby car wreckers to dispose of your spare parts sustainably.
If you are the will’s executor and have all the necessary paperwork to sell, our South Melbourne car buyers can offer quick cash today.
All quotes are valid for 14 days. However, if you need an extension, we can reassess it later.
Business licencing Australia regulates all licenced motor car dealers. Our highly regarded South Melbourne cash-for-cars service strictly complies with these licensing rules to ensure your transactions, identification and personal data are protected. Be careful if dealing with car-buying companies that aren’t licenced, as it is often a scam.
Our car buyers in South Melbourne regularly purchase unroadworthy and unregistered cars and other vehicles. This way, you save time and money compared to selling privately, which needs an up-to-date roadworthy certificate.
Our South Melbourne service is environmentally beneficial as unused vehicles emit pollution into the air. Every car recycled through us gets de-polluted. Through our nationwide partners, we ensure all vehicles are reused or recycled. This is also very important, as it takes a lot of oil and plastics to create brand-new parts.
