Cash for Junk Cars Melbourne

A car that no longer runs can still have value in reusable components and recyclable materials. Cash For Car Melbourne assesses whole junk vehicles, including cars with mechanical faults, collision damage, missing parts or a long period off the road. Tell us what is left of the car and where it is parked so we can discuss an offer and the collection requirements.

What affects the value of a junk car?

There is no single price for every unwanted vehicle. The assessment considers the make, model, year, condition and completeness of your car, together with current parts demand, recoverable materials and pickup requirements.

• Reusable components: engines, gearboxes, panels, lights and other parts may have value depending on their condition and demand.
• Vehicle completeness: report missing wheels, major components or previously removed parts.
• Damage and storage: describe collision damage, rust, fire damage or flooding where relevant.
• Collection access: tell us whether the vehicle rolls, steers and can be reached by the towing vehicle.

These details help us assess the whole vehicle. Disclose faults and missing parts before booking rather than relying on photos that no longer show its condition.

Selling a non-running or partly dismantled vehicle

You can request an assessment even if the engine does not start. Let us know whether the keys are available, the brakes are seized, tyres are flat or parts have already been removed. Describe any loose components you want included with the vehicle so we can confirm what the purchase covers.

If the car is in a garage, on a slope, behind another vehicle or difficult to reach, send access photos. We can then discuss a suitable collection plan before a towing vehicle is booked.

Whole-vehicle purchase and free collection

This page covers selling your junk car as a whole vehicle. Our Melbourne car wreckers service explains the wider wrecking and parts-recovery process, while our scrap car removal page covers removal of vehicles being assessed mainly for recycling.

Collection is free when we buy your car. Confirm the agreed offer, what is included and the pickup arrangements before accepting the booking. Timing depends on location, vehicle condition, towing access and availability.

Ownership checks and payment

Have photo ID and evidence that you own the vehicle or are authorised to sell it. Tell us if it is unregistered, has finance owing, belongs to a business or is being sold on another person's behalf so we can confirm the information needed before pickup.

Payment is by bank transfer or PayID. Confirm the agreed amount and payment details with our team, and check receipt through your own banking service. Clear personal belongings and make sure the collection area is accessible before the appointment.
