When you have a car that you don’t want yourself,
selling the car is often a bit harder of a situation. Its engine may look great, the car starts without problems, there’s no black exhaust coming outof its tailpipes, and the interior looks and smells fairly decent; not at all like a car that has been somewhat abused for years. The car that you made a few last-minute repairs to, so that it appears to be in prime running condition. You have power washed its engine and sprayed a little paint over the parts of the engine, and you have spent hours cleaning and polishing it. You are quite proud of yourself, thinking “At the right price, I would be interested.” Still, you know that the car doesn’t hold the value you want for it, and most car owners may feel the same way.

1. What is the fastest way to sell an unwanted car in Melbourne?
The fastest and most hassle-free way is typically through a licensed auto buyer or car removal service. They buy the car “as is” and handle the entire process, including paperwork and free towing, often within 24 hours.
2. Do I have to pay for the car removal service?
No. Reputable Melbourne-based buyers will cover the cost of towing. The value of your car (in parts and scrap metal) covers the removal cost, meaning you walk away with cash, not a bill.
3. Will a professional buyer purchase my car if it’s damaged or unregistered?
Yes. Professional buyers specialise in damaged, non-running, and unregistered vehicles. Since they value the car for its parts and scrap metal, its road status or cosmetic condition does not prevent them from buying it.
4. What essential Vicroads paperwork must I handle when selling?
When you sell your unwanted car in Victoria, you must complete and submit a transfer of ownership form (or equivalent Notice of Disposal). You also need to retain your number plates to cancel your registration with Vicroads and claim any refund on unused rego fees.
5. How do I know I’m getting the best price for my unwanted car?
The best price is achieved by getting quotes from buyers who value the salvageable parts (like the engine and transmission), not just the scrap metal weight. Be prepared to provide accurate details on the car’s make, model, and year.
6. Can I sell my unwanted car if I’ve lost the registration papers?
Yes, in most cases, you can still sell it. You will need to provide alternative proof of ownership, which usually involves completing a Statutory Declaration confirming that you are the legal owner of the vehicle.
