Which Cars Are Wanted in Melbourne Right Now?
We want cars of every make, age and condition across Melbourne. Late model sedans, SUVs, utes, 4WDs and vans are in strong demand, and we also buy older, damaged and non running cars. Send a few photos for a price straight away. Nine out of ten of our sales finish the same day.
Our buying covers the full range of what Victorians drive. Popular Japanese and Korean brands such as Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai and Kia are always in demand. Australian favourites including Ford and Holden remain sought after for both resale and parts. European makes such as Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Audi are assessed by buyers who know their model differences. We also buy utes, vans and light commercial vehicles, SUVs and family cars, hybrids and electric vehicles, and older or unusual models that other buyers struggle to price.
Condition does not decide whether we are interested. It only shapes the offer. Running or not, registered or not, accident history or none, high kilometres or low, every vehicle gets a fair assessment on its genuine merits.
How We Value the Cars We Buy
A fair offer starts with an honest valuation, and it helps to know what actually goes into ours.
Describe your car accurately when you contact us, including any faults, and the figure we quote is the figure we pay at pickup. Nothing changes on the day if the car matches your description.
Why Sell to Us Instead of a Private Listing
A private sale can bring a strong price for a newer car, and we will never pretend otherwise. But it also means advertising costs, a roadworthy certificate for the transfer, weeks of enquiries and strangers at your door. Selling to a licensed trader removes all of that. No roadworthy is needed, no advertising is paid for, and nine out of ten sales are completed on the same day. For older cars, damaged cars and anyone who values their time, a direct cash for cars sale is often the better net result once every cost of the private path is counted.
Not sure your car is on the list? As licensed used car buyers we buy any make, any age and any kilometres. You can also get an instant offer by sending a few photos.

Cars Wanted FAQs
Do you buy fleet vehicles or multiple cars at once?
Yes. We regularly purchase several vehicles in a single transaction, including small business fleets. All vehicles can be assessed and collected on the same day, with a clear individual price for each.
Is there any car you will not buy?
Very few. If a vehicle has been reported stolen or has ownership problems that cannot be resolved with documents, we cannot proceed. Beyond that, age, condition and kilometres do not rule a car out.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate?
No. As a licensed motor car trader we can buy your vehicle without one, which often saves sellers of older cars a significant repair bill.
How fast can the sale happen?
Nine out of ten sales are completed on the same day, and there is no real cut off time. Send photos and you get a price straight away. Regional pickups are usually arranged within a few days.
