Preparing a useful set of vehicle photos
You do not need studio photographs for a quote. Clear pictures of the front, rear, both sides and any damaged areas are more useful than filtered images or old sale photos. Add an interior view and a dashboard or odometer photo when practical. Explain anything the pictures cannot show, such as a starting problem, missing keys or a vehicle that will not select a gear.
Selling a car that will not start
A flat battery, failed starter or engine problem can make a private sale awkward. You do not need to make the car run just to ask us for an offer. Describe the symptoms and tell us when it last moved. If it is parked behind another vehicle, in a locked garage or on a slope, include that information at the start. Collection planning depends on whether the wheels turn, the steering works and the vehicle can be reached safely.

From your first enquiry to collection
- Describe the vehicle. Share the make, model, year, condition, photos and Essendon West pickup address. Mention starting, steering, wheels, keys and access separately.
- Review the offer. Ask about the amount, what it is based on, the included removal and how payment will be arranged. Confirm the description before accepting.
- Book the handover. Agree on a collection window and the documents or identification needed. Clear access and remove your belongings before the team arrives.
- Complete the sale. Finish the agreed paperwork and payment arrangements with the team. Keep your transaction record for your own files.
Payment is arranged by electronic transfer. Confirm the payment details and timing with our team before handover. The service name “cash for cars” describes a vehicle buying service; ask us about the process for your particular vehicle.
Questions about selling a car in Essendon West
Is same-day pickup always available?
Ask us about the next available collection window when you call. Timing depends on the booking schedule, vehicle location and access. A requested time is only confirmed once the team agrees to it.
What if I have lost the keys?
Tell us before booking. Missing keys can affect loading and access, even if the vehicle is complete. We will discuss the situation and the information needed rather than assume a standard pickup will work.
Do I have to arrange a separate tow truck?
Free vehicle removal is available for accepted purchases. Discuss the pickup address and access conditions with us so the collection arrangements are clear before you accept and book.
How is my vehicle offer worked out?
The assessment considers the make, model, age, condition, completeness and potential reuse or recycling value. Photos and an honest description help us prepare a relevant offer. A final agreement should reflect the vehicle actually being sold.
What should I remove from the car?
Take out personal belongings, toll tags and any equipment you are keeping. Check the glovebox, console, boot and storage areas. Keep the agreed vehicle components in place and ask about any paperwork questions before handover.
