Sell Your Broken Car for Cash in Perth — Fast and Easy!
Got a car that won't start, won't drive, or has been sitting dead in your driveway for months? Cash For Cars Perth pays up to $9,999 for broken-down vehicles across the entire metro area. Blown engine, seized gearbox, dead electrics, busted transmission — we buy it all. Call us on 0420 262 651, get a cash quote in minutes, and we'll send a tow truck to your door — often the same day. We handle the WA paperwork, pay you by cash or OSKO before we leave, and tow your broken car away free. No repairs needed. No rego required. Our yard is at 5 Hantke Place, Welshpool.
Why Sell a Broken Car Instead of Fixing It?
Here's the reality: most broken cars in Perth aren't worth repairing. A blown head gasket on a 2009 Commodore can cost $2,500 to fix — on a car that might only be worth $3,000 running. A seized engine in an older Camry? You're looking at $3,000–$5,000 for a replacement, plus labour. At some point, the numbers stop making sense.
That's where we come in. Instead of pouring money into a car that'll break down again in six months, sell it to Cash For Cars Perth and put the cash towards something reliable. We pay based on the salvageable parts inside — engines, gearboxes, alternators, body panels, headlights, and wiring — plus the scrap metal value of the body. Even a car you think is worthless usually has $500 to $3,000 locked up in components.
The longer a broken car sits, the less it's worth. Rubber seals perish, batteries corrode, and brake discs rust in Perth's coastal air. If it's been sitting for more than a few months, the clock's ticking. Call us on 0420 262 651 and get a price before it drops further.
Got an unregistered clunker sitting in your backyard or a broken vehicle parked at a mechanic's workshop? We'll buy it from wherever it is.
What We Do With Your Broken Car
Every vehicle goes back to our Welshpool wrecking yard. Our dismantlers strip it down, pulling every usable part — engine internals, transmission components, body panels, mirrors, electronics, interior trim. Parts in good condition are cleaned, tested, and listed for resale, keeping affordable second-hand parts available for other Perth car owners. The remaining shell gets crushed and sent to a licensed scrap metal recycler, where steel, aluminium, and copper are recovered. Nothing usable goes to waste.
Turn Your Broken Car into Cash — Here's How
Selling a broken car privately is almost impossible. Nobody on Gumtree wants a car that doesn't start. Mechanics will offer to "take it off your hands" for next to nothing. And most wreckers will quote high on the phone, then drop the price when they see the damage. We don't operate like that.
- Up to $9,999 cash for your broken car — paid before the car leaves your property
- Free towing from anywhere in Perth — your home, workplace, mechanic's yard, even the side of the road
- All makes, all conditions — Toyotas, Fords, Holdens, Mazdas, Hyundais, Nissans, and everything else. Running, dead, or somewhere in between
The price we quote on the phone is the price you get paid. If your car matches the description you gave us, there are no last-minute reductions. That's a guarantee.
Our customers say EXCELLENT.
What Sets Cash For Cars Perth Apart From Other Broken Car Buyers
Same-Day Collection, Most of the Time
Call before midday and we can usually have a tow truck at your door within two to three hours. Our trucks are equipped to load cars that can't roll — flat tyres, locked brakes, no battery, no worries. Afternoon calls are typically booked for the next morning.
We Value Parts, Not Just Metal Weight
Standard scrap yards pay by the tonne. We don't. Our Welshpool facility strips each vehicle for reusable parts before it's crushed, which means we can offer more. A dead Ranger with a good engine and decent body panels is worth significantly more than its weight in steel — and our quotes reflect that.
No Repairs, No Cleaning, No Prep
Sell your broken car exactly as it sits right now. Oil leak? Don't care. Flat tyres? Doesn't matter. Interior full of old McDonald's wrappers? We've seen worse. You don't need to spend a cent getting the car ready — that's our job once it reaches the yard.
Local Yard, Local Team
We're not a national call centre routing your enquiry to a subcontractor. Our yard is at Welshpool, our drivers know Perth roads, and when you call 0420 262 651 you're talking to someone who works here. If something comes up during the pickup, we sort it on the spot.
How Much Is a Broken Car Worth in Perth?
More than you'd think. The value depends on a few things, and we'll need these details to give you an accurate quote:
Make and model. Popular brands hold more parts value. Toyotas (Corollas, Hiluxes, Camrys), Mazdas, Hyundais, and Ford Rangers are always in demand because their parts sell fast. Less common imports might fetch less, but we'll still buy them.
What's actually broken. A car with a blown head gasket but a good transmission and body is worth more than one with a seized engine and smashed panels. The more salvageable parts, the higher the offer. Be upfront about the faults — it helps us give you a better price, not a lower one.
Age and kilometres. A 2018 model with 120,000 km on the clock has newer, more valuable components than a 2004 model with 350,000 km. But both are worth something — even high-kilometre cars have panels, mirrors, lights, and scrap metal value.
Photos help. A few clear pictures of the exterior, interior, and engine bay let us assess condition quickly. You can text them through or upload via the online form.
Common Types of Broken Cars We Buy in Perth
We see the same breakdowns across Perth every week. Here are the most common types of broken vehicles we buy — and yes, we'll pay cash for all of them:
- Blown or seized engines. Head gasket failures, cracked blocks, spun bearings, overheated motors. If the engine's gone, the car usually isn't worth fixing — but the rest of it still has value.
- Failed transmissions. Automatic gearboxes are expensive to replace — often $2,000 to $4,000 fitted. For older vehicles, that's more than the car is worth.
- Electrical faults. ECU failures, wiring loom corrosion (common in Perth's salty coastal air), dead alternators. Electrical gremlins can make a car undrivable and undiagnosable.
- Overheating and coolant issues. Cracked radiators, blown head gaskets from overheating in Perth's summer heat — we see this constantly, especially in older Commodores and Falcons.
- Structural rust. Subframe corrosion, rusted-through floor pans, rotted sills. Once the rust reaches the structural components, the car's done.
- Cars that just stopped and nobody knows why. Sometimes the mechanic can't figure it out, or the diagnosis costs more than the car's worth. We'll buy it anyway.
How Selling a Broken Car Works — Step by Step
Tell Us What You've Got
Call 0420 262 651 or fill in the online form. Give us the make, model, year, and a description of what's wrong. If you know the fault (blown engine, dead gearbox, electrical), tell us. If you don't know, just describe the symptoms — we'll work it out. You'll get a firm cash offer, usually within minutes.
Accept or Walk Away — Your Call
No obligation. If the price works, we'll book a pickup time that suits you. If it doesn't, no hard feelings. We'd rather give you a straight answer than waste your time.
We Come to You — Anywhere in Perth
Our tow trucks cover the full metro, from Yanchep and Two Rocks in the north down to Mandurah via the Kwinana Freeway, and out to Midland and the Perth Hills along Tonkin Highway and Great Eastern Highway. We'll call 20 minutes before arrival. Your car doesn't need to start, roll, or even have wheels.
Get Paid Before We Leave
Our driver checks the car matches your description, then pays you immediately. Cash in hand or instant OSKO transfer — works with CBA, Westpac, NAB, ANZ, and most other banks. We handle the paperwork and explain how to lodge your Notification of Disposal with the WA Department of Transport. Done in under 30 minutes at your door.

Please note: We don't service Bunbury or regional WA, and we don't buy stolen vehicles, cars under finance, or car bodies without a chassis.
We Buy Broken Cars in Every Condition — Plus Utes, Trucks, Vans and 4WDs
It's not just broken sedans. We buy broken-down vehicles of every type across Perth — utes, vans, trucks, 4WDs, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. If you're a tradie with a clapped-out work ute that's finally given up, or a business with a fleet vehicle that's been sitting dead in the yard, we'll take it off your hands and pay you for it.
Perth's FIFO workers often have vehicles sitting idle at home for weeks at a time. If your car's broken down while you were on roster and it's not worth fixing, selling for cash is quicker than organising repairs from site. One call and we'll sort the rest.
