Melbourne Cash 4 Carz

No, you do not need a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) to sell your vehicle to Melbourne Cash 4 Carz. As a fully licensed vehicle buyer operating under Victorian transport regulations, we purchase all vehicles—including broken-down, accident-damaged, or unregistered cars—exactly as they are. To legally complete the sale without an RWC, you only need to provide a valid photo ID (such as a Victorian Driver’s License) and proof of vehicle ownership. Our team handles all the transfer paperwork and VicRoads requirements on-site for free.

Melbourne Cash 4 Carz provides free, same-day car removal services across more than 300 suburbs in Greater Melbourne and regional Victoria. Our fully insured tow truck fleet operates 24/7 out of our headquarters at 8 Maxwell St, Dandenong South. Whether your vehicle is located in the Melbourne CBD, northern suburbs like Coburg and Craigieburn, eastern suburbs like Box Hill and Clayton, or southern areas like St Kilda and Footscray, we can typically complete the inspection, paperwork, and vehicle pickup in less than one hour from the time you accept our quote.

After collection, every vehicle undergoes eco-friendly auto recycling and dismantling at our authorized scrap yard. Our process follows strict environmental standards: first, we safely drain and responsibly dispose of toxic fluids (such as engine oil, coolants, and brake fluids) to prevent soil contamination. Next, our licensed dismantlers salvage operational parts for reuse, before crushing the remaining chassis for scrap metal. Because a standard car contains roughly 650 to 750 kg of recyclable steel and metal, this process actively diverts waste from Melbourne landfills while optimizing resource recovery.

The scrap and salvage value of an old vehicle in Melbourne is determined by five primary factors:

• Scrap Metal Weight: The total volume of recyclable steel and aluminum (heavier 4WDs and trucks fetch more).

• Make and Model Demand: The current market demand for that specific vehicle's spare parts.

• Condition of Major Components: Whether core components like the engine and transmission are still functional.

• Age and Mileage: Even for scrap, newer models carry higher component values.

• Current Metal Market Rates: The daily fluctuating value of scrap steel per ton in Victoria.
