We value your car based on the potential value of your car based on the 3 factors below. Having done this for decades, we only need a few basic details to give you a quote
We’ll need a gallery of photos of the car’s interior and exterior, and one of its odometer reading.
The demand for certain rare or late-model parts and materials will certainly drive up our quote.
We need the age of the vehicle.
We buy cars made by all Australian and international manufacturers.
We’ll need a copy of your driver’s licence (which must be valid), and you’ll also need to sign our contract of sale.
We’ll need basic details, including the odometer reading, make/model and age of the car, as well as an extensive gallery of photos.
Tell us where your car is parked and when you want it picked up. As long as your car is accessible, our towers can grab it without you needing to be present.
Anywhere. 1800 Salvage has a base of operations in every major city in Australia. That’s why we’re able to tow your vehicle and pay you for it within a day. If you live in remote regions, we can usually get to you within three days, tops.
Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you’ve got any queries or issues.
The first thing you need to do is get an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s worth. There are countless online car valuation tools that you can use to do this — we recommend Redbook Cars’ vehicle valuation calculator.
Now that you’ve got a price, you’ll need a buyer. If you’re selling your second-hand vehicle to another private buyer, you’ll need to get your paperwork in order. This can be a little complicated, but VicRoads has a handy guide to selling your vehicle you can read.
However, if you sell your vehicle to a salvage buyer like 1800 Salvage, you don’t have to worry about any of that. All you need to sign a contract of sale and provide us with a copy of your valid driver's license. How easy is that?
If you’re selling to a private individual, then the best practice is to make sure you get paid before handing over the keys.
Work with 1800 Salvage, and we’ll make the process smooth and easy by paying you at the same time we pick up your vehicle.
