Cash for cars
Sell any car or work vehicle. Free pickup, paid on collection.
How do I sell my car for cash?
Tell us what the car is, running or not, and we send a firm price, usually within the hour. If you accept, we book a time Monday to Saturday, check the car matches what you said, pay you, and tow it free.
Selling privately means ads, phone calls, people not turning up and haggling over the price. 1800-CASH-FOR-CARS skips that. Tell us what you've got, running or not, and we'll give you a firm price, usually within the hour.
If you're happy with it, we book a pickup time that suits you, Monday to Saturday. The driver checks the car matches what you told us, pays you, and tows it away. There's no charge for the tow, and nothing is taken off at the kerb when the car is as described.
Where the truck can come is on the free car removal page. Brisbane addresses are on car removal Brisbane.
What we buy
Cars and hatchbacks, 4WDs and SUVs, utes and vans. Makes we see every week include Toyota, Holden, Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Kia, and we buy the rest as well. Registered or not makes no difference to whether we can collect it.
That includes cars that run and cars that don't, crashed and written-off cars, flood and hail damage, rusty cars, and cars that failed a roadworthy. When the repair quote is more than the car is worth, you don't have to fix it before we price it. Trucks are quoted on the cash for trucks page.
What changes the price you pay?
The price uses what you send: make, model, year, kilometres if you know them, what is wrong, and what is missing. A car that runs is worth more, but one that does not still has a price. Towing is not a line on the quote. The price we quote is the price we pay when the car is as described.
Every car gets its own price. The quote uses what you send: make, model, year, kilometres if you know them, what is wrong, and what is missing.
For scrap and non-running cars, the Brisbane scrap car prices page is the guide, and the same guide applies on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, in Logan, Ipswich and Tweed Heads. Towing is not a line on that quote. The price we quote is the price we pay, as long as the car is as described. If you want a market estimate first, check what your car is worth. That figure is not a cash offer.
- Make, model and year. Popular and newer models are worth more for resale and parts.
- Condition. A car that runs is worth more, but we still pay for ones that don't.
- Parts. A good engine, gearbox or panels can add a fair bit.
- Metal prices. For cars at the end of the road, the scrap metal price sets the floor.
How do I get paid?
In Queensland, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast, you choose cash or a bank transfer. We pay before the car leaves and give you a receipt. In NSW, including Tweed Heads, scrap vehicles are paid by bank transfer only.
In Queensland, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast, you choose cash or bank transfer. We pay before the car leaves, and we give you a receipt.
In NSW, including Tweed Heads, the law doesn't allow cash for scrap vehicles, so it's bank transfer only. Have your bank details with you. The Tweed Heads page has the local notes for that side of the border.
The car shouldn't have finance owing on it. If it does, call 0423 514 111 and we'll discuss that car. We don't publish a process for financed cars on this page.
Paperwork on the day
Bring photo ID (a driver's licence or passport) and proof of ownership, such as the rego papers. If the papers are lost, say so when you ask for a price. We still need ID and to be sure the car is yours. Bring the keys if you've got them, and clear out belongings and any toll tag.
After pickup, cancel Queensland rego with Transport and Main Roads. You can do it online, and you may get a refund for unused time. In NSW, cancel it with Service NSW. Then tell your insurer.
Where we buy
The yard is at 79B Breadwell St, Rocklea. Pickups in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are usually within a day or two. The Sunshine Coast is further away, so that run is booked rather than promised for the same hour. Local notes are on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan and Ipswich pages. Start with the quote form.

Cash for cars FAQs
How much will I get for my car?
It depends on the make, model, year, condition, and what parts and scrap metal are worth at the moment. Tell us about the car and we'll give you a firm price, usually within the hour. Towing fees are not taken off. Scrap and non-running ranges are on the scrap car prices page.
Do you buy cars that don't run?
Yes. We buy cars that run and cars that don't, plus crashed, flood-damaged, unregistered, rusty and scrap cars. Trucks are quoted separately on cash for trucks.
Can I choose cash?
In Queensland, yes. Cash or bank transfer, paid before the car leaves. In NSW, including Tweed Heads, it's bank transfer only, because the law doesn't allow cash for scrap vehicles.
What if I've lost the rego papers?
Tell us when you use the quote form. We still need photo ID and to be sure the car is yours. We can usually sort the missing papers out from there.
