Do you pick up cars in Toowong?
Yes. We collect free from all of Toowong.
Toowong sits between Mount Coot-tha and the Brisbane River, about 6 km south-west of the CBD. Apartments line the river near Coronation Drive, and houses rise west toward the foothills.
Rocklea is about 11 km by road, up Sherwood Road and Oxley Road, then across the river. Pickups are usually within a day or two.
Cash for trucks and vans in Toowong
We also buy utes, vans and trucks, one vehicle or several. Vans start from $500 and trucks from $1,000. See cash for trucks.
Can you collect a car from a Toowong unit, basement or steep driveway?
Tell us about access when you ask for a price. The ground rises from the river toward Mount Coot-tha, and a steep driveway or tight street parking changes the booking.
- A steep or narrow driveway, a backyard, or a carport.
- Street parking, and whether a loading spot is nearby.
- Whether the car starts, steers and rolls.
- Whether it has keys and wheels.
- A unit complex: whether a fob, swipe or body corporate approval is needed.
We buy cars with no keys or no wheels. Say which is missing in the same message.
How much will I get for my car in Toowong?

| Small hatch, scrap | $150 – $400 |
| Older sedan or hatch, running | $500 – $1,600 |

| Van | From $500 |
| Truck | From $1,000 |
A Toowong car is priced on the same guide as the rest of Brisbane. An apartment block or a hill does not add a fee.
Make, model and year move the price, along with whether the car runs, whether the engine, gearbox and catalytic converter are still there, and the type of damage.
Can I sell an unregistered car that's parked on a Toowong street?
Yes. We tow it, so it does not need registration or a roadworthy. Have photo ID and proof of ownership with you.
Brisbane City Council says parking an unregistered vehicle on a road is an offence under the Health, Safety and Amenity Local Law 2021. The owner or last known registered owner may be fined. An unregistered, abandoned, unsightly or hazardous vehicle on a road, a footpath or in a park is unmanaged, and council can sticker, tow and impound it.
A lapsed-rego car at the kerb can draw that fine, and selling it before council acts is simpler. If a yellow sticker is already on the windscreen, phone council, quote the reference number, and mention the sticker when you ask for a price.
After the car is collected, cancel your registration and your insurance. The Queensland Government page explains the form and when number plates need to be handed in.
What cars do you buy in Toowong?

Is car removal in Toowong really free?
Yes. Towing is free anywhere in Toowong, and it is never taken off the price we quote. Payment is cash or bank transfer before the car leaves. Distance from the river up to the hills does not add a charge.
How much cash will I get for my car in Toowong?

How soon can you collect my car?

Do you buy unregistered cars or cars with no keys?
Yes to both. We tow the car, so it does not need registration or a roadworthy, and a missing key does not stop the sale. Bring photo ID and proof of ownership. An unregistered car on a Toowong street can draw a fine under Brisbane City Council's Health, Safety and Amenity Local Law 2021.
How do I get paid?
You choose cash or a bank transfer, paid before the car leaves, and you receive a receipt. That applies to a Toowong pickup the same way it does across Queensland. The tow is not deducted. Describe the car accurately and the quoted price is the price paid.
