Salvage vehicle for sale

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Does 1800 Salvage buy or sell auto parts?

No, we exclusively buy vehicles. Our friendly professionals can also connect you with car wreckers in the Greater Adelaide area for spare parts disposal. We can facilitate connections to local auto parts businesses if you are interested in buying car parts.

FAQ icon

My bank does not support Osko. Is this an issue?

No worries. We can work together to manage and monitor payment times. We'll organise your unwanted car removal once we arrange a standard transfer. Basic direct transfers are often processed on the next business day.

FAQ icon

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

Most definitely! To ensure an easy process, call our team, and we can work through each vehicle you have for sale and get you the best price possible.

FAQ icon

Does my car need a roadworthy for you to buy it?

Not at all, we do not require a roadworthy. This saves you time and money in comparison to selling your car privately which will require an up to date roadworthy certificate.

FAQ icon

Why is selling my car through a licensed motor car dealer safer?

All licensed motor car dealers are monitored by Australian regulatory bodies. This means your transactions, identification, and personal data are protected as we comply with all licensing rules. Be very careful dealing with any other automotive car-buying companies that aren’t licensed, as they are often scams.
