At Car Removal Perth, we specialise in buying unregistered, unwanted, and even non-running vehicles, and we’ll pay you cash on the spot. Whether it’s been off the road for weeks, months or years, you can still get paid without the hassle of re-registering, fixing, or advertising it privately.

Can You Sell an Unregistered Car in Western Australia?
Yes, absolutely. In WA, you are legally allowed to sell an unregistered car, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
What You Need:
-
Proof of ownership (your driver's licence or a bill of sale is usually enough)
-
VIN or chassis number (often found on the compliance plate or in old rego papers)
What You Don’t Need:
-
You don’t need a current registration
-
You don’t need a roadworthy certificate
-
You don’t need to drive the vehicle anywhere (especially not with Car Removal Perth offering free towing)
That’s the beauty of selling to a licensed car removal service. We buy cars in all conditions, and we’re familiar with the process of buying unregistered vehicles legally and safely.
Why Unregistered Cars Still Hold Value
Many people assume that once the rego expires, their car is worthless. Not true. Even an unregistered, non-running car can be worth hundreds or even thousands, depending on a few key factors:
1. Valuable Parts
Your car may have parts that are still in demand—like engines, gearboxes, doors, radiators, tyres, and interior fittings.
2. Scrap Metal Value
Even if your car is a write-off or missing major components, the metal itself is worth money. Cars contain steel, aluminium, copper, and other valuable materials.
3. Make and Model Demand
Some cars—especially Japanese, Korean, and popular Aussie models—retain high value in Perth’s second-hand parts market.
At Car Removal Perth, we consider all these factors when giving you a fair quote.

Step 3: We Pick Up the Car and Pay You Cash
Our tow truck arrives, we inspect the vehicle, and you get cash in hand—on the spot. We also handle all the paperwork, including a receipt and cancellation of rego if required.
What You’ll Need to Provide
Even though the car is unregistered, we still need to verify that you’re the rightful owner. Don’t worry—it’s not complicated.
Here’s what we typically ask for:
-
A driver’s licence or photo ID
-
Any paperwork you still have (e.g., old rego papers or service records)
-
The VIN or chassis number (found on the car’s dashboard or door frame)
If you’ve lost the rego documents or aren’t sure where the VIN is, just ask—we’ll help you find it or confirm ownership another way.
Real-Life Example: Backyard Rust Bucket Turns into $800
Case Study: Tanya from Canning Vale
Tanya had an old 2003 Ford Falcon sitting in her backyard for nearly two years. It was unregistered, had a flat tyre, and hadn’t run since 2022. She assumed it was worthless and dreaded the thought of trying to tow it or advertise it online.
After a quick Google search, she found Car Removal Perth and gave us a call.
We asked a few questions, offered her $800 cash, and picked up the car that afternoon—free of charge.
“I was blown away. I didn’t think anyone would pay for it, let alone tow it away for free. The team was polite, on time, and I had cash in my hand within hours,” she said.
