How to Sell a Scrap Car in Victoria: A Step-by-Step Guide
Selling a scrap car in Victoria is simple when you know the steps: gather proof of ownership, get a written quote, notify VicRoads of the sale, and make sure you are paid safely.
Gather your documents
Photo ID and proof of ownership (registration papers or purchase records) are the starting point. Locate your keys if you have them and remove personal belongings from the glovebox, boot and under the seats.
Get a quote
Contact a few buyers, but compare offers on the same details: what is included, when payment is made and whether towing is free. A genuine offer will be confirmed in writing or by SMS.
Notify the sale
In Victoria, sellers should notify VicRoads of the disposal so fines and tolls do not follow the car. Check the VicRoads website for the current process before the vehicle leaves.
Get paid safely
Prefer bank transfer to cash for traceability. Confirm funds have arrived before the vehicle is loaded or hand over any documents.
Remove plates and accessories
Remove registration plates where required and take any aftermarket items you want to keep, such as the dash cam or child seat.
