Better for the Environment
An old car left on the street or in the yard slowly leaks oil and coolant and rusts away. When you sell it to us, it is reused or recycled.
- Fluids handled safelyOil, fuel, coolant and battery acid are drained and disposed of by licensed facilities, never washed into soil or stormwater drains.
- Parts reused, metal recycledWorking parts go back into service as used spares, and the steel and aluminium are recycled into new products instead of going to landfill.
- Done by the rulesEvery vehicle is handled under state waste and environmental laws, with the paperwork done properly.
Off the road for good
Why unregistered cars are hard to sell
An unregistered car can't be driven to a buyer, a mechanic or a dealer, and most private buyers won't touch one. The longer it sits, the more the battery, tyres and seals deteriorate, and the harder it gets to move.
Because every car we buy is collected on a tow truck, registration and running condition don't get in the way. We price the vehicle on its make, model, condition and completeness, then load it where it sits.
- Expired or cancelled registration is fine
- Non-running cars towed, never driven
- Lost keys considered case by case
- Paid on collection, towing included
Situations we handle
- Expired registration
- Cancelled registration
- Flat or missing battery
- Engine won't turn over
- Failed gearbox
- Lost or missing keys
- Flat or perished tyres
- Parked for years
- Failed safety certificate
- Overdue repairs
What to know before an unregistered pickup
Proof of ownership still matters
Without current rego, we still need photo ID and something showing the car is yours, such as old registration papers, a purchase receipt or a transfer document.
No keys
A car without keys can often still be bought and towed. Tell us up front, because a locked steering wheel or gearbox changes how the car is loaded.
Cars parked for years
Long-parked cars may have seized brakes, flat tyres or nests in the engine bay. That's normal for us; just let us know how long it's been sitting.
Towed, not driven
An unregistered car must not be driven on the road, so we always tow it, even when it still runs.
Unregistered car FAQ
Unregistered and non-running car questions
Selling a car that's off the road, won't start or has no keys.
Can I sell a car with no registration?
Yes. Registration isn't needed to sell to us. You'll need photo ID and proof you own the car or are authorised to sell it.
Do you buy cars that don't start?
Yes. A flat battery, a failed starter or a dead engine doesn't matter, because we tow every car we buy.
What if I've lost the keys?
We can often still buy the car. Missing keys can affect the offer and how the car is loaded, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
My car has been parked for years. Is it still worth anything?
Usually. Even after years of sitting, a car keeps value in its metal and many of its parts. Describe its condition or send photos and we'll make an offer.
Do I need to cancel the registration first?
If the rego has already expired, there's nothing to cancel. If it's still current, we explain your Queensland options before pickup so the car is no longer in your name.
Can you pick up from a backyard or paddock?
Yes. Describe the access, including gates, slopes and ground conditions, and we'll plan the recovery.
