Your Ultimate FAQ Guide to Selling Your Car for Cash in Perth
Thinking about selling your car? Whether it's old, damaged, unwanted, or simply time for an upgrade, the process can seem daunting. At WA Car Removal, we've spent over 15 years helping people in Perth turn their unwanted vehicles into instant cash, quickly and effortlessly.
To help you understand how it all works, we've put together answers to the most common questions we receive.
Section 1: The Basics - Is This Service Right for Me?
Q1: What types of cars do you buy?
A: We buy all types of vehicles, in any condition! This includes cars, utes, vans, 4x4s, and even trucks. It doesn't matter if your car is old, scrap, junk, damaged in an accident, written-off, unregistered, or simply unwanted. With over 15 years in the business, we've seen and bought it all.
Q2: Does my car need to be running to sell it to you?
A: Not at all! We specialise in buying cars that are not running, have mechanical issues, or are completely immobile. Our free car removal service means we come to you with a tow truck and handle everything.
Q3: My car failed its inspection and is no longer registered. Will you still buy it?
A: Absolutely. We frequently buy unregistered vehicles. It saves you the headache and cost of trying to get it roadworthy just to sell it. We handle all the necessary paperwork for unregistered cars.
Q4: Do you only operate in Perth city, or do you service the suburbs as well?
A: We service the entire Perth metropolitan area and surrounding suburbs. From Joondalup to Mandurah and everywhere in between, we can come to your location. Give us a call with your postcode to confirm, and we'll be there.
Section 2: The Process - How Does It Work?
Q5: How do I get a quote for my car?
A: Getting a quote is simple and completely free. You can either:
- Call us directly on 0422 622 617 for an instant quote over the phone.
- Fill out the online form on our website with your car's details (make, model, year, and condition). We'll get back to you with our best cash offer promptly.
Q6: How long does the entire cash for car process take?
A: Our process is designed to be as fast as possible. You can get a quote in minutes, and in many cases, we can arrange for same-day car removal and payment. The entire process, from your first call to getting cash in your hand, can often be completed within 24 hours.
Q7: What happens after I accept your offer?
A: Once you accept our quote, we'll schedule a convenient time for our team to come to your location. We handle the pickup, the payment, and the paperwork all in one quick visit.
Section 3: Payment & Pricing - The "Cash" in Cash for Cars
Q8: How do you determine the value of my car?
A: Our valuation is based on several key factors: the car's make, model, year, overall condition, the extent of any damage, and the current market value for its parts and scrap metal. Our 15+ years of experience in the Perth market ensures we can provide you with the most competitive and fair price.
Q9: Is your "Cash for Car Removal" service really free? Are there any hidden fees?
A: Yes, it is 100% free. The quote we give you is the exact amount of cash you will receive. There are no hidden charges, towing fees, or administration costs. The free removal is a core part of our service.
Q10: How will I get paid? Do you actually pay in cash?
A: We pay you on the spot when we come to pick up your vehicle. We can pay in cash or, if you prefer, via an instant bank transfer (Osko/PayID). The choice is yours. You get paid before we tow the car away.
Section 4: Paperwork & Logistics
Q11: What documents do I need to sell my car to you?
A: It's a very simple process. All you need is:
- Proof of Photo ID (like a driver's licence).
- Proof of Ownership for the vehicle.Our team will bring the necessary vehicle transfer paperwork and help you fill it out correctly on the spot.
Q12: What do I do with my car's number plates (rego plates)?
A: In Western Australia, you are required to remove the number plates and return them to a Department of Transport (DoT) licensing centre to cancel the registration and receive any applicable refund. Our driver can assist you with removing the plates during the pickup.
Q13: Do I need to clean my car or remove personal belongings?
A: You don't need to worry about cleaning the car, but we strongly recommend you check the glove box, boot, and under the seats to remove all personal belongings before we arrive.
Section 5: Why Choose Us?
Q14: Why should I use your service instead of selling my car privately?
