Sell the car in its current condition

A parked car can be easy to leave for another week, especially if getting it ready for sale looks like a project in itself. The battery may be flat, the tyres may need attention or the original mechanical fault may still be unresolved. You can speak to us before spending money on any of it.

What matters is a clear description of how the car is now. If it was running when you parked it, say when that was and whether it has been checked since. If it stopped because of a known fault, explain the fault. There is no need to guess at a repair diagnosis or present the car as better than it is.

We also buy cars that are still being used. An older hatchback, spare sedan, family 4WD or work ute can be offered because you no longer need it, not only because it has reached the end of its life. Vans and trucks can be assessed too.

Car collection around Smithfield Plains

Our Smithfield base serves Smithfield Plains and the surrounding northern suburbs. Free collection is included when we purchase your car, removing the need to organise a tow to a buyer yourself.

For a car kept around the Davoren Road area or elsewhere in Smithfield Plains, tell us the exact address and where it sits on the property. A street name alone does not show whether the car is beside a home, inside a garage or at the back of a shared driveway.

If other cars have been parked around it during storage, mention this before booking. Access can often be planned more easily when everyone knows what needs to be moved and who will open the gate. You do not need to push an unfamiliar or damaged car out yourself just to enquire.

We also cover Andrews Farm, Davoren Park, Smithfield and Munno Para. If the car is stored at a family member’s home in a neighbouring suburb, use that address for the pickup. We will discuss the available collection times once we understand the location and condition.

What your car may be worth

Time spent parked does not, by itself, tell us the car’s value. Its make, model, year, kilometres, mechanical condition and completeness all contribute to the assessment. The body, interior and remaining usable parts matter as well.

For example, an intact car with an isolated starting issue is different from a car with extensive damage and major components removed. A running car with further use left in it is also assessed differently from one that is mainly suitable for material recovery.

Send current photographs if you can. Pictures of the whole car and its main damage help us understand what remains. You do not need to arrange a professional clean or replace worn parts before obtaining a quote. The purpose of the enquiry is to establish an offer for what you already have.

If you are comparing selling with fixing the car, consider the total repair work needed rather than only the first visible problem. Our quote gives you another option to consider without committing to that expenditure.

One enquiry to organise the sale

Give us the make, model, year, approximate kilometres, known faults and collection location by phone or online. If you do not know a detail, say so. Accurate gaps in the information are more useful than estimates presented as facts.

We assess the enquiry and discuss an offer. If you accept, we arrange pickup. A final inspection takes place at collection, followed by the identity and ownership checks and sale paperwork. You can receive payment by cash or bank transfer; confirm your preference when making the booking.

Before handover, remove belongings and keep your photo ID and ownership information ready. Check storage pockets and the spare-wheel area as well as the obvious places. If the car contains rubbish or items that do not belong with it, tell us before collection and arrange to remove your possessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy an unregistered car?

Yes. Expired registration does not stop you requesting an offer from us. Tell us its status and provide the ownership information you have. We can collect a purchased car from its location, so you do not have to organise a drive to a yard. Photo ID and authority to sell are still required.

What if the car is not roadworthy?

We buy cars that are not suitable for normal road use. Describe the known faults, damage or reason it was taken off the road. A mechanic’s report can help if you already have one, but you do not need to complete repairs before asking us to assess the car in its existing condition.

Should I buy a battery to see if the car starts?

You do not need to buy a battery solely to request our quote. Tell us that it is flat and when the car last ran. If there were other faults before it was parked, mention those too. We can discuss the car using that information instead of asking you to spend money before knowing the offer.

Can you assess a car when the kilometres are unknown?

Yes, we can start an enquiry without a current odometer reading. Explain why it is unavailable and provide any reliable older reading from your records, clearly identified as an older figure. Do not guess. The car’s other details and its condition at the final inspection also contribute to the assessment.

Is same-day removal available?

It may be, depending on the day’s bookings and what is needed to collect the car. Call with the pickup location and access details and ask for the earliest available appointment. If the property must be cleared by a certain date, mention that deadline before you accept a collection time.

What happens if some parts have been removed?

Tell us which parts are missing and send photos if possible. We can consider some incomplete cars, but we do not buy bare shells. The remaining components affect the offer, and missing wheels or steering parts can change the collection requirements. Establish acceptance before arranging to have the car removed.

Can I sell if finance is still owing?

The outstanding finance must be cleared before we purchase the car. Speak to your lender about the account and what is required to settle it. A car that has stopped being used may still have an active loan, so confirm its status rather than assuming the debt ended when the car was parked.
