Looking for cash for cars in the northern suburbs of Melbourne? Victorian Car Buyers is a licensed motor car trader (LMCT 12395) based in Delahey that buys cars for cash across Melbourne and Victoria. From our base in the north west, the Calder Freeway and the Western Ring Road put most of the northern suburbs within easy reach.
Ring Steve on 0455 776 443 or use the form to tell us about your car.
Suburbs We Cover in the Northern Suburbs
Our buyers work through the whole northern corridor, from the airport side across to the Plenty Road growth areas and down to the inner north. Suburbs we visit regularly include:
Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, Greenvale, Broadmeadows, Meadow Heights, Campbellfield, Sunbury, Tullamarine, Gladstone Park, Glenroy, Pascoe Vale, Coburg, Brunswick, Fawkner, Preston, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, Thomastown, Lalor, Epping, Mill Park, South Morang, Mernda, Bundoora and Wollert.
Live a little further north? We go wherever the car is in Victoria, so it is still worth a phone call.
How Pickup Works in the North
Tell us where the car is and when you are free. We drive out to you, whether that is a house in Craigieburn, a factory car park in Campbellfield or a unit in Preston with a tight driveway. The inspection is done on the spot and you get one firm figure.
Say yes and payment happens there and then, by cash, bank transfer or bank cheque. The car leaves with us and you pay nothing for collection. Our hours run from 9am to 9pm on weekdays and 9am to 6pm on Saturday, so an after work visit is easy to arrange. Sunday is our day off.
Cars We See Most in the North
The north has a mix of young families, tradies and long term owners, and the cars reflect that. We buy plenty of small hatchbacks and sedans, trade utes and vans that have earned their keep, and older family wagons with big numbers on the odometer. Running or not, registered or not, each one gets a fair look. No roadworthy certificate is needed, and a loan on the car is paid out as part of the deal. Offers typically fall between $500 and $30,000, with more paid for higher value cars.
Abandoned or Unwanted Car Rules in Your Council
Leaving an unregistered car on the nature strip or the street for too long can lead to a sticker from the council. Here is what the northern councils publish.
- City of Whittlesea. The council places a Notice to Remove Vehicle sticker on the car. If the owner does not act, the vehicle is impounded, and it is disposed of if the fees are not paid within 14 days. See Whittlesea abandoned vehicles.
- City of Darebin. An unregistered or abandoned vehicle sticker tells the owner to remove the car or face impoundment. Impound, towing and storage fees apply to get it back, and after 14 days unclaimed the council may sell, destroy or give away the vehicle. See Darebin abandoned vehicles.
- Hume City Council and Merri-bek City Council. Ask the council for its current process if your car is in one of these areas.
A stickered car can still be sold. Read our guide to council abandoned vehicle notices for the steps.
What Our Customers Say
Selling a Car in the Northern Suburbs: Common Questions
Is Sunbury too far out for you?
Not at all. Sunbury sits just up the Calder Freeway from Delahey, so it is one of the easier trips we make.
Can you come to Epping or South Morang after I finish work?
Yes. Weeknight appointments are available up to 9pm, which gives most people time to get home first.
I have a work van in Campbellfield that no longer runs. Is that a problem?
No. A van that will not start is loaded onto a truck and taken away, and you are not charged for the collection.
Do I need to bring the car to Delahey?
No. Every inspection is done at your address or another place you choose.
