Got a car that won’t start, won’t move, or hasn’t run in months? You’re not alone—and the good news is, it can still put money in your pocket. Whether it’s a mechanical issue, an old engine, or just plain worn out, you don’t have to let it rot in your driveway. Here’s a quick and simple guide to help you sell your non-running car for cash without the stress.
Step 1: Don’t Panic – Non-Runners Still Have Value
Just because your car doesn’t run doesn’t mean it’s worthless. In fact, it still has value in:
- Spare parts
- Scrap metal
- Recycling materials
- Or even as a whole for someone who wants to fix it up
Cash-for-cars and wrecker companies love non-runners—because we see value beyond the engine light.
Step 2: Get a Quick Quote
This is usually the easiest part. Most cash-for-cars services (like ours!) let you get a free quote over the phone or online. All you’ll need is:
- The make, model, and year of your car
- A quick rundown of the condition
- Your location
You don’t have to tow it, fix it, or explain every detail—we’ll handle the heavy lifting.
Step 3: Organise Paperwork (Don’t Worry—It’s Simple)
In most cases, to sell a non-running car in VIC, you’ll need:
- A valid photo ID (like a driver’s licence)
- Proof of ownership or registration details
- A signed transfer form if applicable
Even if the car’s not registered, you can still sell it. We’ll walk you through what’s needed.
Step 4: Schedule Pickup
One of the best perks of selling to a local wrecker or car removal service is free pickup. You don’t need a tow truck, because we bring our own.
We’ll come to your home, workplace, or wherever the car’s parked—even if it hasn’t moved in years—and tow it away for free.
Step 5: Get Paid on the Spot
Here’s the part everyone loves: cash in hand on the day of pickup. No waiting, no bank transfers, and no chasing down a buyer who suddenly goes quiet.
Depending on the condition, make, and age, you could get up to thousands in cash, even for a car that won’t turn over.
Bonus Tips
- Be honest about the condition. It helps get a fair quote upfront.
- Don’t worry about cleaning it. We’re not judging—we buy cars, not cleanliness.
- Keep your number plates. You’ll usually need to return them to VicRoads or cancel your rego online.
