What counts as unwanted

Nearly anything. The common thread isn't the car's condition, it's that keeping it has stopped making sense — the repair costs more than it's worth, nobody in the household drives it, or it came with a house or an estate and needs to go.

  • Non-runners and mechanical write-offs
  • Insurance write-offs, including statutory and repairable
  • Flood and hail-damaged vehicles
  • Half-finished project cars and shells
  • Deceased estate vehicles
  • Cars left behind by tenants
  • Fleet and business vehicles at end of life

Deceased estates and cars you didn't buy

A good share of our work is cars the seller never chose — inherited, left behind by a tenant, or included with a property. These need more paperwork than a normal sale, not less, and it's worth sorting before we come out.

For an estate vehicle we'll generally need the death certificate and evidence that you're the executor or administrator, along with your own ID. For an abandoned tenant's car, Queensland has a defined process for goods left behind at the end of a tenancy and it needs to have been followed. Call us before you book and we'll tell you exactly what's required — it's usually more straightforward than people expect.

Why an unwanted car is worth more than it looks

Owners routinely assume a car that can't be driven is worth nothing. It very rarely is. The engine and transmission hold value even when the car doesn't run, catalytic converters contain recoverable precious metals, and panels, glass, wheels, lights and interior parts all have a market. Even after all that, the shell is several hundred kilos of recyclable steel.

The only cars genuinely worth close to nothing are ones already stripped of their drivetrain and body panels. If yours is complete, it's worth a phone call.

How selling your car works

  1. Tell us about the car

    Call us or fill in the form. We need the make, model, year, rough condition and where it's parked. That's enough for a firm number — usually in about a minute.

  2. We confirm and book a time

    If you're happy with the quote we lock in a pickup. We come to you: home, work, a carpark, the side of the road. Same day is often possible.

  3. Paperwork, cash, gone

    We check ID and registration, you sign the transfer, we pay you on the spot and tow the car away free. The price we quoted is the price you get.

Frequently asked questions

The car has been sitting for ten years. Is it too far gone?
Almost certainly not. Time off the road affects tyres, fluids and the battery, none of which drive the value much. What matters is whether the car is complete. If the engine, gearbox and panels are still on it, we'll make an offer.
I'm the executor of an estate. Can I sell the car?
Yes, with the right documentation — normally the death certificate plus evidence of your appointment as executor or administrator, and your own photo ID. Ring us before booking so we can confirm what Queensland Transport will need for the transfer.
Can I sell a car that isn't registered in my name?
Not as it stands, but it's usually fixable. If a previous owner never completed the transfer, we'll talk you through what's needed. Please sort it before we come out rather than at the roadside.
Do you take motorbikes, trailers or machinery?
Trailers and light commercial vehicles, yes. Motorbikes and machinery we assess case by case — send a photo and we'll tell you straight away.
