Damaged & non-running

Damaged car buyers in Sydney

A damaged car is difficult to sell privately — most buyers walk away at the first photo. We assess damaged vehicles as part of normal business.

  • Accident, hail and storm damage
  • Mechanical faults and non-running vehicles
  • Repairable write-offs considered
  • Collection arranged where the car cannot be driven

What to tell us about the damage

Describe what happened, which panels or components are affected, whether the car drives, whether it is insured or has been assessed, and whether it has been recorded as a write-off. Photos of the damage speed the process up considerably.

Written-off and statutory vehicles

Write-off status affects what a vehicle can legally be used for and therefore what it is worth. Disclose it and your buyer will price accordingly and handle the paperwork correctly.

Free inspection, no obligation

Inspections are free and there is no obligation to sell afterwards. A buyer confirms the car matches what you described, then finalises the offer and the paperwork with you.

Common questions

Do you buy cars that don't run?
Yes. Mention that the car is immobile so collection can be arranged as part of the sale.
Do you buy hail-damaged cars?
Yes. Hail damage is cosmetic in most cases and does not prevent a purchase.
