Whether your car has been in a major collision or sustained damage from hail, flooding, or mechanical failure, we'll make you a fair cash offer.

How to Maximise Your Payout When Selling a Totaled Car

In Western Australia, you're generally allowed to keep your totaled vehicle, regardless of whether it's insured. If you choose to keep the car and file an insurance claim, your insurer will typically pay you the pre-accident market value, minus your excess and the estimated salvage value of the vehicle.

If your goal is to maximise your payout, there's a smarter option: sell your totalled car directly to a specialist car buyer like Cash For Cars Perth. By going direct, you skip the middleman and can often walk away with more cash than the insurer's salvage deduction would leave you.

This is especially worthwhile for vehicles where the parts are still in high demand — popular Perth models like the Ford Ranger, Toyota Corolla, or Volkswagen Golf often have strong parts value even when the car itself is a write-off.

How to Keep and Sell a Totaled Car for Maximum Profit

Is My Car Totaled If It's More Than 50% Damaged?

Not necessarily. Even if your car has significant damage, the total-loss determination depends on several factors beyond a simple percentage. If the cost to repair your vehicle exceeds a certain threshold of its market value, your insurer may declare it a total loss — meaning they won't cover repairs.

Here's the good news: even a totaled car has real cash value. Cash For Cars Perth pays up to $9,999 for totaled vehicles based on their parts and scrap metal value.

What Is the "Total Loss" Threshold in Australia?

Insurance companies use a percentage threshold when determining if a car is a total loss. While this varies between insurers, a vehicle is typically considered totaled when the repair cost exceeds approximately 60% to 75% of its Agreed Value or Market Value.

Once the insurer determines your car's value, they compare it against the estimated repair cost. If repairs exceed the threshold, your car is classified as a total loss — also known as a "statutory write-off" or "repairable write-off" depending on the severity.

Here's the key point: your car doesn't need to be 50% damaged for this to happen. A relatively minor-looking accident can total a newer car if airbags deployed, because airbag replacement alone can cost several thousand dollars.

Key Indicators That Your Car Is a Total Loss

There are three main reasons why a vehicle might be declared a total loss:

Safety: The vehicle cannot be safely repaired to a roadworthy standard, making it dangerous to drive.
Repair Costs: The cost of repair exceeds the vehicle's current market value or the insurer's threshold percentage.
Regulatory Classification: Your vehicle meets Western Australia's criteria for a statutory write-off, meaning it cannot legally be re-registered.

If your vehicle fits any of these criteria, it's considered a total loss — but that doesn't mean it's worthless. Totalled cars still contain valuable parts, recyclable metals, and reusable components.

Whether your car is insured or not, selling it directly to Cash For Cars Perth puts you in control. You get a fair cash offer based on the vehicle's actual salvage value — not a lowball figure from an insurance adjuster.

Sell Your Totalled Car and Get More Cash in Your Pocket

Did you know that thousands of cars are declared total losses in Perth every year? When a car is totalled after an accident, it simply means the insurance company has decided that the cost to repair it exceeds the car's value.

Here's what most people don't realise: you have the right to keep and sell your totalled car yourself. Your insurance company may assign your car a low salvage value and deduct it from your payout — but you could make significantly more by selling the car directly to a specialist buyer.

At Cash For Cars Perth, we pay cash for totalled and wrecked vehicles. Our offers are typically well above the salvage value assigned by insurance companies, because we assess each vehicle based on its actual parts and materials value.

We offer cash for all types of vehicles, including:
