Three ways to sell a car – and when each makes sense
There is no single best way to sell a car. It depends on what matters more to you: getting the highest possible price, or getting it done quickly with no hassle. Here is an honest comparison.
1. Private sale
A private sale can bring the highest price for a car that is in good, roadworthy condition. The trade-off is time: you need to take photos, write an ad, answer messages, arrange inspections and test drives, negotiate, and deal with buyers who do not show up. For older, damaged or non-running cars, finding a private buyer can take weeks or may not happen at all.
2. Trade-in at a dealer
Trading in is convenient if you are buying another car from the same dealer, but the trade-in value is usually lower than a private sale, and dealers are often not interested in old, high-kilometre or damaged cars.
3. Sell to a car buyer like us
Selling to Australia Wide Wreckers is the fastest option. One call gets you a price, we come to you with a tow truck, and you are paid on pickup. We buy cars that private buyers and dealers do not want – including cars that do not run, have no rego or are damaged – as well as cars that still drive. We pay up to $9,999, depending on the vehicle.
What we need to know for a quote

- Your suburb and where the car is parked
Photos are helpful but not essential. The more accurate the description, the more accurate the offer will be on the day.
How it works – 3 simple steps
Why sell your car to us?
- Speed: sold in a day instead of weeks.
- No strangers: no test drives or haggling with time-wasters.
- Free removal: we tow it, so the car does not need to drive or be registered.
- Paid on pickup: money in hand before the car leaves.
- All cars: any make, model and condition.
Checklist before you sell
- Finance: if there is still money owing on the car, it needs to be paid out before it can be sold.
- Papers: have your photo ID and registration papers or other proof of ownership ready.
- Personal items: check the glovebox, boot and under the seats; remove toll tags, garage remotes and child seats.
- After the sale: lodge a notice of disposal with Service NSW, and contact your insurer about cancelling your policy.

Selling your car – frequently asked questions
Do you buy running cars or only scrap cars?
Both. We buy running cars as well as old, damaged and non-running cars.
How fast can I sell my car?
Often on the same day. Call in the morning, Monday to Saturday, for the best chance of a same-day pickup.
Will I get more selling privately?
For a car in good condition, a private sale can bring more money, but it takes more time and effort. We focus on speed and convenience.
Can I sell a car with finance owing?
The finance must be paid out before the car can be sold. Talk to your lender first.
Do I need a roadworthy (pink slip)?
No. We buy cars as they are, so there is no need for an inspection or repairs.
How do I get paid?
You are paid on the spot when we collect the car.
