How We Calculate Your Cash Offer

Most buyers give you a number without explaining it. We’d rather show our working because a transparent offer is one you can trust.

01

Age & Kilometres

Lower km generally means stronger resale or parts value. High-km vehicles still carry metal and usable component value worth paying for.

02

Mechanical Condition

Running vehicles in repairable condition attract higher offers. Non-running vehicles are assessed on parts demand and metal weight not just their ability to start.

03

Body & Structural State

Hail, panel damage, and accident history affect resale but rarely reduce an offer to zero. We factor in what's salvageable, not just what's damaged.

04

Registration Status

Registered vehicles are easier to process, but unregistered vehicles are bought daily. Rego is not a requirement.

05

Make, Model & Parts Demand

Some models have strong local parts demand. If your vehicle has genuine resale or parts value, we reflect that rather than pricing it as scrap.

06

Current Scrap Metal Rates

For vehicles with limited parts value, the base metal price applies. We use live market rates not a fixed low-ball figure.

A Straightforward Car-Selling Process

Selling your car should be straightforward. We provide the offer based on the information you provide, explain the factors that affect the vehicle’s value, confirm the agreed amount and arrange payment and collection once the sale is approved.

Vehicle Resale Value

A vehicle that can be resold may be worth considerably more than its scrap value. We consider its overall resale potential before deciding how to value it.

Engine, transmission and electrical failures don't automatically prevent a sale.

Utes, Vans & 4WDs

Commercial and larger vehicles can also be assessed.

🚐

Old & High-Kilometre Cars

Older cars can still have resale, parts or salvage value.

🛻

Scrap & End-of-Life

End-of-life vehicles can be valued based on salvageable components and materials.

Accident-Damaged Vehicles

Accident-damaged and mechanically damaged vehicles can be assessed.

Not Sure If Your Vehicle Qualifies? Here's What We Buy

We consider a wide range of vehicles in Frankston, including used, unwanted, damaged, older and non-running cars. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle is suitable, contact us with the make, model, condition and location and we’ll let you know what options are available.

Cash for Old Cars

Age is not a dealbreaker. High-km, outdated, or long-unused vehicles still have metal and parts value. We assess every old car on its actual components — not just its age — and pay accordingly.

Cash for Scrap Cars

End-of-life or heavily deteriorated vehicles still carry scrap metal value. We pay live market rates — not a fixed low-ball figure — and arrange free collection so you don't have to move it.

Cash for Unwanted Cars

Sitting in the driveway, taking up space, or simply no longer needed — unwanted vehicles are our most common purchase. No advertising, no negotiations, no time-wasters. One call and it's gone.

Cash for Used Cars

Upgrading or simply ready to sell? We buy used cars in running condition and pay based on real-time market value. If your vehicle has genuine resale worth, we'll reflect that — not treat it as scrap.
