What Affects the Cash Price of Your Scrap Car?
The cash price of a scrap car depends mainly on its weight, its make and model, its condition, and the parts that still work. Prices can also move with the scrap metal market, so a quote today may differ from a quote a few months ago.
Here is what we look at when we work out your price:
- Weight and metal: A car is mostly steel, with some aluminium and copper. A bigger, heavier car usually holds more metal, so it is often worth more as scrap.
- Make, model and year: Popular cars have parts that other drivers still need. Those parts can raise your price.
- Condition: A car with a good engine, gearbox or body panels is worth more than one that is stripped or burnt out.
- Missing parts: If the battery, wheels, catalytic converter or engine are gone, the price can drop. Tell us upfront so your quote is honest and accurate.
- Location and access: A car that is easy to reach is quicker to collect. If it is stuck in a tight spot, tell us so we can bring the right equipment.
- Paperwork: Having your ID and car papers ready makes the sale faster and smoother.
Many people ask us, “Can I sell my car in Canberra if it doesn’t run?” Yes. A car that doesn’t run still has value in its metal and parts. We are car buyers Canberra, and we buy cars that other buyers turn away.

Responsible Car Recycling: Where Your Scrap Car Ends Up
When you scrap a car, it is taken apart, its fluids are drained safely, its useful parts are reused, and its metal is recycled. Nothing is simply dumped. That is better for your community and for the environment.
Old cars left to rot can leak oil, fuel and coolant into the soil. Proper car disposal Canberra stops that. Here is what usually happens after we collect your car:
- Collection: We tow or drive your car away from your home or workplace.
- Draining: Oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid and other liquids are taken out and handled safely.
- Parts removal: Working parts, such as engines, alternators, doors, mirrors and wheels, are removed so they can be reused.
- Battery and tyres: These are removed and sent for proper recycling.
- Metal recycling: The remaining shell is crushed and sent to be melted down. Steel can be recycled again and again without losing its strength.
Reusing parts also helps other drivers. A used part is often cheaper than a new one, and it keeps a good component out of the bin.
So when you sell your scrap car, you are not only getting paid. You are helping to cut waste and keep Canberra cleaner.
If you want to know more about what happens to your specific car, just ask us. We are happy to explain.

Accident-Damaged Car? Here’s What Your Options Are
If your car was damaged in an accident, you can repair it, claim insurance, or sell it for cash. The right choice depends on how bad the damage is and how much the repair would cost.
A car crash is stressful enough. Here is a simple way to think about your options:
| Your Option | Best When | Things to Think About |
|---|---|---|
| Repair it | Damage is small and repairs cost much less than the car’s value | Repairs can take weeks and costs can grow |
| Insurance claim | You have cover and the car can be fixed | Your insurer decides if it is a repair or a write-off |
| Sell it for cash | The car is a write-off, or repairs cost more than it is worth | Fast money, no repair bills, no waiting |
If your insurer says the car is a write-off, or you decide not to fix it, we can help. We are damage car buyers in Canberra, and we offer cash for scrap damaged cars. That includes crashed cars, hail-damaged cars, flood-damaged cars and cars with bent frames.
Before you sell, check these things:
- Talk to your insurer first if you have an open claim. Selling before a claim is settled can cause problems.
- Take photos of the damage. They help us give you a faster, more accurate quote.
- Have your ID and any car papers ready.
You don’t need to pay for a tow truck. We collect damaged cars from your home, workshop or a panel beater’s yard.
