Cash for Damaged Cars
Mechanical failure, hail damage and worn bodywork create different selling decisions. A useful quote starts with a clear account of the fault and the parts of the vehicle that still work.
- Offers based on the vehicle and collection details
- No roadworthy certificate required for an initial quote
- Cars, utes, vans, 4WDs and light trucks
- No obligation to accept
Separate symptoms from a confirmed diagnosis
Explain what happened: an engine that will not turn over, a gearbox that will not select a gear or repeated overheating. Include a workshop diagnosis if you have one, but say when the cause is unknown. You do not need to pay for a new diagnosis just to describe the car.
Disclose more than visible damage
Mention hail, rust, water exposure, electrical faults and missing components as well as dents. Photos help with body condition; a written description helps with faults a photograph cannot show. Do not assume that a car which starts is safe to drive to a collection point.
Compare selling with further repairs
If you already have a repair estimate, compare that cost and the time involved with the offer for the car in its current condition. Ask what inspection could change the price. Confirm how a non-running or unsafe car will be loaded before accepting a pickup arrangement.
Questions about this service
Call us if your vehicle or pickup situation is unusual.
Do I need to repair the fault before requesting a quote?
Describe the car as it is, including known faults and any existing repair estimate. The team can assess the enquiry without you promising to repair it first.
Should I mention past water damage if the car now runs?
Yes. Include known water exposure and electrical or mechanical symptoms even if the car starts, so the assessment is based on its actual history.
