Sell Your Car for Parts in Melbourne

Selling a whole car for parts or salvage

If your car is damaged, no longer running or too costly to repair, selling the whole vehicle may be an alternative to dismantling it yourself. Cash For Car Melbourne can assess your vehicle for a condition-based offer and arrange collection when you accept the agreed terms.

This service is for selling a vehicle, not individual loose parts. If you are comparing car wreckers or salvage options, explain whether the car is complete or has already had components removed. Do not assume that a stripped vehicle will receive the same offer as a complete car.

What information helps us assess your car?

Provide the make, model, year and pickup suburb, along with clear photos and an honest description of its condition. Useful details include:

• Whether the engine, transmission, wheels and other major components are present, and which parts are missing or damaged.
• Whether the car starts, runs, rolls, steers and brakes, or needs assistance to be loaded.
• Known mechanical faults, accident damage, fire or flood damage, and the condition of the body and interior.
• Where the car is parked, including a garage, driveway or street, and any narrow access, height restrictions, steep slope or blocked wheels.

A non-running car and a partly dismantled car can have different loading requirements. Share these details before agreeing to pickup so our team can confirm whether collection is suitable.

What affects a whole-vehicle salvage quote?

The offer depends on the vehicle's make, model, age, completeness and condition, as well as demand for reusable components, recoverable material and collection requirements. The advertised retail price of an individual replacement part is not the amount you should expect for the whole car.

Keep your description accurate and disclose missing components before accepting a quote. If you remove parts after receiving an offer, tell our team before collection because the assessment may need to be updated. Confirm the agreed amount and what it covers rather than relying on a general price estimate.

Pickup, documents and payment

Once the vehicle details and offer are agreed, confirm a suitable pickup time and access arrangements. Free vehicle collection is available when you sell your car to us; confirm the arrangements for your location and vehicle before booking. Do not assume same-day collection is available.

Tell our team if the vehicle is unregistered, has finance owing, is owned by a business or is being sold on someone else's behalf. Confirm the identification and proof of authority to sell needed for your circumstances before handover. Remove personal belongings and make sure the collection area is accessible.

Payment is by bank transfer or PayID. Confirm the agreed amount, payment details and handover arrangements with our team, and check receipt through your own banking service.
