A BETTER HANDOVER
An easier way to move on from an older car.
It might be sitting in the driveway, no longer start, or just not be worth another repair bill. Whatever the reason, the first step is simple: tell us what you have and where it is.
Cash Paid for Cars buys used, damaged, unregistered and non-running cars across Melbourne, along with utes, SUVs and vans. We give you a free quote, collect the car for free and pay you by bank transfer.

Work utes and dual-cabs, running or not.

Family and everyday SUVs, including 4WDs.
Vans
Commercial and personal vans.
Hatchbacks
Compact cars, older or well used.
A CLEARER NEXT STEP
Not sure what your car is worth now?
Your quote starts with the details: age, make, model, kilometres, condition and where it's parked. You don't need to guess what matters. Just tell us what you know, including any damage or faults.
What shapes your offer
• Make, model, year and kilometres
• Whether it starts, runs and drives
• Body and interior condition
• Accident, hail or flood damage
• Mechanical faults
• Missing parts
• The value of the parts and metal, for cars at the end of their life
You don't need to clean the car or fix anything first. Be upfront about faults, because it helps us give you a price that fits the car you're selling.

WHAT WE BUY
Cars we buy across Melbourne.
We buy most makes and models, from everyday sedans, hatchbacks and wagons to SUVs, 4WDs, utes and vans. The car doesn't need to be in good shape.
- Used cars you've replaced or no longer drive
- Older, high-kilometre cars
- Cars that won't start or need major repairs
- Accident, hail and flood-damaged cars
- Unregistered cars and cars parked up for a long time
- Scrap and end-of-life cars
A car missing a few parts can still be assessed. We don't buy bare shells where the engine and major components have been removed.

BUILT AROUND CLARITY
Useful answers, without the guesswork.
A car sale is easier when each step is clear. Here's what to expect.
Local context
Tell us your pickup suburb and where the car is parked, and we'll plan the collection around it.
A considered quote
Year, make, model, condition and kilometres all shape the price. Photos help.
Clear arrangements
Free removal when we buy your car. Payment by bank transfer once the sale is completed.
HANDOVER DAY
Getting paid, without the fuss.
Payment is made by bank transfer when the sale is completed. When we collect the car, we check it and your photo ID, finish the paperwork and arrange the transfer to your account.
Photo ID
Have your photo ID ready on the day.
Proof of ownership
Bring something that shows you own the car, or that you can sell it for the owner.
Finance and keys
Finance owing has to be cleared before we can buy the car. Have the keys ready too.
Before we arrive, empty the glovebox, boot and console, and take out your toll tag.
YOUR OPTIONS
Sell direct, sell privately or trade it in?
Each option suits a different situation. If you're not sure which is right, ask us for a quote and compare it.
Sell privately
Can bring a higher price for a car in good condition, but you handle the listing, the messages, the inspections and the haggling. Old or damaged cars can be hard to sell this way.
Trade it in
Convenient if you're buying another car from the same dealer. You usually get one offer, and a car in poor condition may not be taken.
Sell direct to us
Quick and simple, and it suits old, damaged, unregistered or non-running cars. One call, one offer, one pickup.
WHEN PEOPLE CALL
Whatever the reason, we can help.
People sell cars for all kinds of reasons. These are some of the situations we buy cars in:
- You've bought a replacement and don't need the old car
- A repair bill is bigger than the car is worth
- The car has been parked up and hasn't run for a long time
- The car has been in an accident and isn't worth repairing
- You're clearing a property or garage
- The car belonged to a family member and you're handling the sale
- Registration has lapsed and you don't want to deal with it
Call or send the details and we'll tell you what we can do.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Good to know before you request a quote.
A few details can help make the conversation clearer from the start.
What details should I include in a quote request?
The year, make, model, kilometres, condition and your pickup suburb. Add any faults or damage, and photos if you can. The more accurate the details, the closer our quote will be.
How much will I get for my car?
It depends on the make, model, year, kilometres and condition, and on what the parts and metal are worth. We can't give a figure without the details, so send them through. The quote is free and you don't have to accept.
Can I sell a damaged or non-running car?
Yes. Tell us what's wrong and whether the wheels roll and the steering moves. A car that won't start can still be bought and collected.
How do I get paid?
Payment is made by bank transfer when the sale is completed. We check the car and your photo ID, finish the paperwork and then pay you. Have your bank details handy so the handover is quick.
Is the pickup really free?
Free removal is included when we buy your car. You don't need to book a tow truck or get the car to us.
How soon can you collect?
Same-day collection is available, depending on our schedule and where the car is. Calling early in the day gives you the best chance. If you need a particular day, tell us when you ask for your quote.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate or current registration?
You don't need to arrange a roadworthy certificate before asking for a quote, and unregistered cars are considered. You will still need to show that you own the car or can sell it for the owner.
Can I sell a car that still has finance on it?
Finance has to be cleared before we can buy the car. Your lender can give you the payout figure. Once it's cleared and you have proof, we can go ahead with the sale.
What do I need to have ready on the day?
Photo ID, proof that you own the car or can sell it for the owner, and the keys. Registration papers help. Take your personal belongings and toll tag out of the car before we arrive.
Do you cover my Melbourne suburb?
We buy cars across Melbourne. Add your pickup suburb in the form and we'll confirm we can collect from you.
What if I don't know all the details?
Send what you know and note anything you're unsure about. We'll let you know if we need more information.
