Vehicles We Buy
We buy salvage cars in a wide range of conditions, including:
- Accident-damaged and write-off vehicles
- Storm, fire or hail-damaged cars
- Vehicles with structural or frame damage
- Insurance salvage and auction vehicles
- Long-neglected or partially stripped cars
- Any make, model or age with salvage status

- Cars deemed uneconomical to repair by insurers
- Vehicles purchased at salvage auction for parts or repair
Whatever the extent of the damage, our team is ready to make an offer on salvage cars, including vehicles that have already been assessed by an insurer.
How We Value Your Vehicle
Every salvage car quote reflects factors including:
- Extent and type of damage sustained
- Value of any salvageable parts and panels
- Make, model, year and overall specification
- Current scrap metal and component demand
- Cost of safe, responsible disposal
- Availability of matching replacement parts
- Extent of structural or safety-related damage
- Repair cost estimates already obtained, if available
Even significantly damaged salvage cars can bring a worthwhile payout once parts and metal value are factored in, with select vehicles reaching up to $9,999.
Eco Friendly Car Disposal
Salvage cars require careful, responsible handling. Fluids are drained and disposed of safely, batteries and tyres are recycled, and any salvageable parts are recovered before the remaining metal is processed. Choosing proper disposal for salvage cars helps keep harmful substances out of local soil and waterways. We make sure every salvage vehicle is processed responsibly, protecting people and the environment alike from any lingering hazards.
Documents You Need
Selling a salvage or damaged vehicle still means having the right paperwork ready, and we keep that part of the process simple.
Paperwork is simple. Please have these ready on pickup day:
- Photo ID: A current NSW driver licence or another valid government photo ID.
- Proof of ownership: Registration papers or other evidence that the vehicle is legally yours.
- Keys and records: Every key you have, plus service records if available.
We prepare the bill of sale on the spot. Lost your papers? Contact us and we will guide you through getting replacements. After the sale, lodge a notice of disposal with Service NSW to protect yourself from future fines or tolls linked to the vehicle.
