Cash For Cars Perth pays up to $15,999 for Western Star trucks in any condition — running, broken down, deregistered, or written off. We come to your yard, depot, or worksite anywhere across the Perth metro area. You get a firm quote over the phone, free pickup with our heavy-vehicle tow truck, and payment via OSKO bank transfer or cash before we leave. No inspection surprises — the price we quote is the price we pay. If you've got a Western Star sitting idle since its last mine-site contract finished, or an old 4900 that's been parked up since it failed its CoR audit, we'll take it off your hands today. We can also help with other commercial brands such as Freightliner, Mack, and Kenworth vehicles.
Western Stars aren't something you can chuck on a standard car trailer. We run tilt-tray and heavy tow trucks rated for prime movers and rigids, so whether your truck is at a depot in Welshpool, parked on a block in Hazelmere, or bogged at a yard in Kwinana, we'll recover it for free.
We don't pull numbers out of thin air. Our quotes are based on the current market value of Detroit Diesel engines, Eaton Fuller gearboxes, diff housings, and other salvageable components your Western Star carries. That's why we can pay up to $15,999 — a truck with a good DD15 or DD16 engine is worth serious money in parts.
Selling a heavy vehicle in WA means completing the MR9 change of ownership form and lodging a notice of disposal with the Department of Transport within 14 days. We sort all of this on the spot — you just need your photo ID and the rego papers (or the plate number if the rego has lapsed).
Call before midday and we can usually have your truck collected the same day. We cover everywhere from Joondalup down to Rockingham and out to Midland, with most pickups completed within a couple of hours of confirming the deal.
Western Star trucks are built for the toughest jobs in Australia — mining haul roads, long-distance road trains across the Nullarbor, heavy haulage through the Pilbara, and general freight around the Perth metro. But even the toughest trucks eventually reach the end of their working life. When yours does, Cash For Cars Perth is the fastest way to turn it into cash.
We buy Western Stars that other buyers won't touch. Accident-damaged cabins, blown engines, trucks that have been sitting deregistered for years — condition doesn't matter to us. We're wreckers. Our business is stripping salvageable parts and recycling the rest through licensed scrap metal processors here in WA.
Not every Western Star is worth the same. Here's what moves the price up or down:
Engine condition matters most. A Western Star with a running Detroit DD15 or DD16 engine is worth significantly more than one with a blown motor. Cummins-powered models (common in older 4700s and some 47X trucks) also hold good value if the engine turns over.
Transmission type affects value. Trucks with Eaton Fuller manual gearboxes or Detroit DT12 automated manuals carry premium parts value. These transmissions are in constant demand from workshops across WA.
Model and age set the baseline. A 2018 4964FXC Constellation with low kilometres is obviously worth more than a 2005 4800 tipper that's done a million clicks. But even the oldest, roughest Western Star is still worth something — the chassis, axles, and steel alone have scrap value.
Completeness helps. Trucks with wheels, tyres, and intact cabs fetch better prices than those that have already been partly stripped. If you've sold off the turbo or pulled the alternator, let us know upfront so the quote is accurate.
Send us clear photos when you call. The more we can see, the more accurate our quote. Include shots of the engine bay, the odometer reading in kilometres, both sides of the cab, and any visible damage. If you've got service records or know the engine hours, that's a bonus — it tells us how much life is left in the major components.
The whole process takes about 24 hours from first call to cash in your account. Here's exactly what happens:
Ring us on 0420 262 651 or fill out the online form. We'll ask for the model, year, engine type, rough kilometres, and what condition it's in. If you can send through a few photos — exterior, cab interior, and the odometer — that helps us lock in a price faster.
We'll give you a dollar figure based on the truck's salvage value. This isn't a "starting price" that drops when we show up — it's the actual amount you'll be paid. No obligation. If you want to shop around and compare, go for it.
Once you accept, we book a heavy tow truck to your address. You don't need to bring the truck anywhere — we come to you. We pick up from residential properties, commercial yards, industrial sites, and rural blocks across the entire Perth metro.
When our driver arrives, they'll check the truck matches what you described, complete the paperwork with you, and pay you immediately. Most customers choose OSKO instant bank transfer — the money hits your account in under 60 seconds. Cash is also available if you prefer.
We purchase every Western Star model that's been sold in Australia, including both the older Constellation Series and the current X-Series range. Here's what we commonly pick up around Perth:
Don't see your exact model listed? Doesn't matter. If it's a Western Star, we'll buy it — including the older 2800 rigids, Heritage models, and anything else that rolled off the line.
It doesn't matter what state your truck is in. If it's a Western Star, we want it. Here's what we regularly collect across Perth:
Cash For Cars Perth collects Western Star trucks from every suburb in the Perth metropolitan area and beyond. Our base is in Welshpool, just off Hantke Place near the Welshpool industrial area, which puts us within easy reach of most Perth locations.
We cover all major areas including:
For trucks located in regional WA — Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, or further out — give us a ring and we'll discuss options. We can often arrange pickup for regional vehicles if the value justifies the trip.
Got questions? Here are the ones we hear most often from Western Star owners around Perth.
It depends on the model, age, engine condition, and how complete the truck is. We pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a stripped-out shell up to $15,999 for a late-model truck with a good engine and running gear. The best way to find out is to call us on 0420 262 651 with the details — we'll give you a firm number within minutes.
Yes. We buy deregistered and unregistered trucks all the time. You don't need current rego to sell — you just need to prove you own the vehicle. A lapsed rego paper, a receipt from when you bought it, or even a statutory declaration can work. We'll guide you through it.
In Western Australia, you'll need to complete an MR9 transfer of ownership form and lodge a notice of disposal with the Department of Transport within 14 days. We handle the MR9 on the day. You'll need photo ID (driver's licence) and ideally the rego papers. If the truck is registered to a company, bring the company's ACN and authorisation to sell.
No — as long as the truck matches what you described over the phone. If you said the engine's there and it's been stripped out, yeah, the price will change. But if you're upfront about the condition, the quote holds firm. That's our policy.
Your choice. Most people go with OSKO instant bank transfer because the money lands in your account within 60 seconds and there's a clear digital record. Cash is available too. We pay you before the truck leaves your property.
If you call before noon on a weekday, we can usually collect the same day. Otherwise, next business day. We're open Monday to Friday 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM and Saturdays 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM. Weekend and after-hours pickups can sometimes be arranged — just ask.

"My Mazda 3 had been written off in an accident and I had no idea what to do with it. Cash for Cars Perth gave me a fair quote over the phone and had a tow truck at my place in East Perth by early afternoon. Paid via OSKO before they even drove off. Couldn't have been easier." — Sarah M., East Perth
"I needed to shift my old Triton before I moved interstate. These guys quoted me a solid price, showed up exactly when they said they would, and paid exactly what they quoted. The rego transfer was all handled on the spot — I didn't have to do a thing." — Mark T., West Perth
"Dad's old Falcon had been sitting in the garage unregistered for three years. I wasn't sure if anyone would even want it. Cash for Cars Perth took it same day and paid a fair price. The whole process from phone call to pickup took about two hours." — Jennifer L., Northbridge
