Selling a car you no longer want shouldn't be complicated, but it does throw up a lot of questions. What's a 2004 Falcon with 300,000 kilometres actually worth? Do you need current rego to sell? What paperwork does the Department of Transport want once the car's gone? Is it worth fixing the gearbox, or has the car reached the end of the road?

We've been buying vehicles across the Perth metro for years — running, broken, written off, deregistered — and we get asked these things every day. This blog is where we answer them properly, without the sales spin.

You'll find practical guides on selling a car in WA: how vehicle valuations actually work, what a scrap car is worth and why, how to lodge a Notification of Disposal, and what happens to a car once it reaches a wrecking yard. We also cover the local stuff — council rules on unregistered cars parked on verges, what FIFO workers can do with a vehicle sitting idle for weeks, and how to avoid the usual traps of a private sale on Gumtree.

If you're weighing up whether to repair, sell, or scrap, start here. And if you'd rather skip the reading and just get a number, call us on 0420 262 651 for a free quote — we'll tell you what your car's worth in a few minutes.
