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.
Selling a car with parts already removed
A partially dismantled vehicle needs a precise description. List missing wheels, engine components, panels, battery and keys, and send photographs that show what remains. This helps avoid treating an incomplete shell as a complete vehicle when preparing an offer. Access is just as important: let us know whether the vehicle is supported securely and whether a tow truck can reach it.

From your first enquiry to collection
- Describe the vehicle. Share the make, model, year, condition, photos and South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne
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.
Do I need to repair or clean the vehicle first?
You can request an offer in its current condition. Describe faults and damage accurately, and remove personal belongings before collection. Avoid paying for repairs simply to obtain a quote.
Do you buy vans, utes and trucks as well as cars?
Yes. Enquiries are welcome for vans, utes, 4WDs and trucks. For commercial vehicles, include the body type, size, running condition and any fitted equipment so we can assess the right vehicle.
Can you buy a car that does not run?
Yes. We consider non-running vehicles as well as driveable cars. Describe the fault and tell us whether the wheels turn, the steering works and the keys are available so we can assess both the vehicle and collection.
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.
