If your car's broken down, been in an accident, or just isn't worth fixing, Cash For Cars Perth will buy it — running or not. We pay cash for broken cars across Perth WA, come to your home or workplace, and settle up before we leave. You tell us the make, model, and condition, we give you a firm quote, and if you're happy, we book a pickup that suits you. Many collections happen the same day. No towing costs, no agent fees, and no messing around — just a fair price for your broken or wrecked vehicle and payment you can spend right away.
Got a Commodore sitting dead in the driveway? A Hilux with a blown motor? A Corolla that'll cost more to fix than it's worth? Here's why selling it for cash is the smarter move — and why more Perth owners do it every week.
1. You get paid on the spot. Cash for broken cars isn't a slow process. We assess your vehicle, agree on a price, and pay you before our truck leaves your property. Payment goes out via OSKO bank transfer or cash — your choice. There's no waiting on a private buyer to get finance sorted or for a cheque to clear.
2. We handle the whole thing. Selling a broken car privately is a slog — photos, listings, tyre-kickers, low-ball offers, then figuring out how to move a non-running car. When you sell to us, you don't do any of that. We bring our own tow truck, handle the WA disposal paperwork, and sort the rego transfer so the vehicle's no longer your liability. You hand over the keys and we take it from there.
3. It keeps junk off your property — and out of landfill. Local councils in Perth take a dim view of unregistered vehicles sitting on nature strips or front yards for extended periods. Beyond the council angle, broken cars leak fluids that get into the soil. We dismantle responsibly — usable parts like engines, gearboxes, and panels get resold or refurbished, and the rest goes through licensed recyclers here in WA.
4. Broken car removal is free. We don't charge a towing fee. It doesn't matter if the car's completely dead, has flat tyres, or is stuck in a garage — our driver comes to your address with the right equipment to load it and take it away. From Rockingham up to Joondalup, from Midland across to Fremantle, the pickup is included.
The short answer: it depends on the car. Cash for broken cars in Perth WA can range from a few hundred dollars for a stripped-out small hatch to several thousand for a late-model ute or 4WD with good parts still on it. We've paid up to $10,000 for the right vehicle.
1. What's still working on it. Even a non-running car has value if the right parts are intact. A good catalytic converter, a solid engine block, a working gearbox, undamaged panels — these all add up. On a Toyota Hilux or Ford Ranger, for example, the drivetrain alone can be worth real money to the right buyer.
2. Make, model, and year. Popular models with strong parts demand get better offers. A 2015 Mazda CX-5 will fetch more than a 2003 Hyundai Excel in similar condition, simply because the parts are more sought after. Newer vehicles also tend to have more recoverable metal weight, which counts when scrap prices are strong.
3. Your paperwork. Having your licence and proof of ownership ready speeds things up. If the rego's lapsed, that's fine — we deal with unregistered cars every day and know how the WA disposal process works. You won't need to do a thing with the Department of Transport; we handle it.
4. What scrap metal's doing. Metal commodity prices shift, and they do affect what we can offer for vehicles being sold mostly for scrap. We track the market daily, which is why we can give you a current price rather than a guess.

There are a few car buyers operating around Perth, so it's fair to ask what makes us different. Here's what we actually do differently — in plain terms.
1. The price we quote is the price we pay. Some buyers quote high over the phone and then knock money off when they show up and inspect the car. We don't do that. If we give you a price and the car matches what you described, that's what you get. If something's materially different from the description, we'll talk it through — but there are no surprise deductions on the day.
2. We've been doing this in Perth since 2016. We know what a Holden Commodore's worth in Armadale versus a Ford Ranger in Balcatta. We know the paperwork the Department of Transport requires for a disposal in WA. We know which suburbs have access restrictions for heavy trucks. That local knowledge means fewer delays and fewer problems on pickup day.
3. Competitive cash offers. We assess each car on its actual condition — what's salvageable, what the market wants, what it weighs in scrap. We don't lowball and hope you won't call around. We offer what the car's genuinely worth because that's how you get referrals in this industry.
4. We're easy to deal with. Call us, get a quote, book a time. Our driver shows up with the tow truck and the paperwork. You check the amount, confirm you're happy, and we pay you and load the car. The whole thing typically takes under an hour from when we arrive. Most broken car removal jobs in Perth metro are done same day or next morning.
How quickly can you pick up a broken car in Perth?
For most of the Perth metro — suburbs like Belmont, Cannington, Midland, Osborne Park, and everywhere in between — we can usually get to you the same day you call, or first thing the following morning. If you're further out, like Mandurah or the Hills, allow a bit more lead time and we'll lock in a specific window that works for you.
Do you collect unregistered cars?
Yes, absolutely. A significant portion of the cars we buy in WA have lapsed or no rego. An unregistered vehicle can't be driven on a public road, but it can still be legally transferred and removed for disposal. We sort the Department of Transport paperwork from our end, so you don't have to visit a ServiceWA centre or deal with any of that yourself.
What documents do I need in WA?
You'll need your driver's licence and something showing you own the vehicle — the rego papers if it's still registered, or a previous transfer document if the rego's lapsed. If you've lost the paperwork, call us and we'll let you know what alternatives work. It's usually straightforward.
Will the quoted price change when you show up?
Not if the car matches your description. Give us accurate details upfront — the make, model, year, condition, and what's broken — and the price we quote is the price you'll receive. The only time an offer changes is if the car turns out to be significantly different from what was described (for example, missing the engine entirely when it wasn't mentioned).
How do you pay?
We pay via OSKO bank transfer, which clears almost instantly, or cash — whichever you prefer. Payment happens on the spot before we take the car. We don't do cheques or delayed transfers.
Does the car need to be running?
No. We buy non-running, damaged, accident-damaged, and completely written-off vehicles. If it's stuck in a garage in Wangara or sitting on a driveway in Rockingham, we bring the tow truck and load it ourselves.
What types of vehicles do you buy?
Cars, utes, trucks, 4WDs, vans, and buses. Common cars we buy include Holden Commodores, Toyota Camrys and Corollas, Ford Rangers, Mazda CX-5s, Nissan Navaras, Mitsubishi Tritons, and Hyundai i30s — but we'll assess anything. If it's a vehicle, we'll make an offer.
If you've got a car that's broken, written off, or simply not worth repairing, call Cash For Cars Perth on 0420 262 651. We'll give you a straight quote over the phone, come to your address anywhere in Perth WA, and pay you before we leave. No obligation, no fees, no runaround — just cash for your broken car and free removal on the same day.
