Scrapping a Car

How does scrapping a car in Australia actually work?

Short answer: You get one or more quotes based on the car's make, model, age, condition and location, agree a price and a collection time, remove your belongings and any items you are keeping, hand over the car and the required paperwork, get paid and then complete the notifications your state requires, and the car is taken away to be depolluted, stripped of useful parts and recycled.

Quote and agree

Buyers give a price from details you supply, so the more accurate your description, the firmer the quote.

Collection and handover

The buyer collects the car, checks it matches the description, takes the paperwork and pays you.

Afterwards

You complete any notifications your state requires, so that the car is no longer registered to you.
