Cash for scrap cars is what we do at Cash For Autos. We buy old, dead, and damaged cars across Melbourne. We remove the car for free, pay you on pickup, and handle the paperwork.
So, if a scrap car is stuck in your driveway, it doesn’t have to stay there. Call us and tell us about the car. We’ll quote a price and book a pickup time that suits you.
Many people call us when repairs cost more than the car is worth. Others have a car that won’t start or has failed its roadworthy. Either way, scrapping is a simple way to free up space and get some money back.
Every scrap car removal comes with the same basics. You don’t pay extra for any of them.
We tow your car away at no cost. You don’t pay for the truck, the driver, or the fuel. Our free car removal covers the whole job, from your driveway to our yard.
After pickup, the car goes to recycling. Metal and usable parts get recovered where possible.
We pay you when we collect the car. You won’t wait weeks for a buyer or deal with strangers viewing it. It works much like our standard cash for cars service, built around older and damaged vehicles.
We also help with the paperwork. Have your ID ready, plus the registration papers if you still have them. Tell us when you call if something is missing.
We can’t quote a fixed price without seeing the car. Scrap car prices change from car to car. A few things matter most.
Size and weight come first. A big 4WD usually carries more metal than a small hatchback. Next comes the make, model and year, because some parts sell better than others.
Condition also counts. A car with its engine, gearbox and catalytic converter still in place may fetch more than a stripped shell. Current scrap metal prices play a part too, and they move up and down.
Location can matter a little. Access to the car and the distance we travel may affect the offer.

We take most cars, whatever shape they’re in. Here’s what people usually sell us.
If your car doesn’t fit one of these, call anyway. We’ll tell you straight whether we can take it.
We’re a local car buyer based in Melbourne. We focus on scrap and unwanted cars, so the process stays simple.
First, removal is free. Second, you get cash on pickup. Third, we handle the paperwork, which saves you a trip and a headache.
Selling privately takes time. You post ads, answer messages, and wait for buyers who don’t show. A scrap car buyer skips all that. You make one call, and we do the rest.
You might also have an old car that isn’t quite scrap. Our unwanted car removal service covers those cases too.
Ready to sell your scrap car? Call us on 0424 633 535. Give us the make, model, year, and condition. We’ll quote a price and arrange a free pickup.
Cash For Autos buys scrap cars across Melbourne. Call today and clear that car out of your driveway.
Yes. Non-running, rusted, and end-of-life scrap cars are exactly what we buy. Free towing is always included, so it doesn't matter if the car can't start or move.
It depends on the car. Wreckers in Victoria set prices by weight, make, model, age, condition, and the current scrap metal rate. A small, stripped car will often fetch less than a complete one. Call us with your car’s details, and we’ll give you a price.
Once collected, your scrap car is dismantled for usable parts, and the remaining metal is recycled responsibly under Australian environmental standards — so nothing goes to waste.
