Cash For Damaged Cars Brisbane
A damaged car puts you in an awkward spot. Repairs might cost more than the car is worth, but a private buyer will knock you down hard for every dent and fault. Cash Your Car takes the decision off your hands. We buy damaged cars across Brisbane exactly as they are, pay cash on the spot, and pick them up for free. You do not fix a thing.
Sell your damaged car as-is
The main thing to know: you sell it in its current state. No repairs, no panel work, no getting it detailed to hide the damage. We assess the car as it stands, make a firm offer, and pay you when we collect. If the damage is bad enough that fixing it makes no sense, selling it to us is almost always the better maths.

Damage we buy
We take cars with all kinds of damage, cosmetic or serious:
- Dented, scratched or crumpled panels
- Cracked or smashed windscreens and windows
- Mechanical damage like a failing engine or gearbox
- Suspension, steering or electrical faults
- Interior damage, water ingress or wear
- Cars part-way through a repair you have abandoned
One problem or several, we still make an offer.
Repair cost versus our offer
Here is the calculation worth doing before you spend money at a mechanic. Add up what the repairs would cost, then compare that to what the car would be worth once fixed. If the repair bill is a big chunk of the repaired value, or more than it, the car is not worth fixing. In that case, selling it damaged and putting the cash toward your next car usually leaves you better off than sinking money into a car with problems.
We can quote your damaged car quickly so you have a real number to weigh against a repair quote.
Why sell your damaged car to us
We buy it as-is. No repairs, no roadworthy, no cleaning up the damage first.
A fair price for the condition. We value what the car is genuinely worth damaged, including any parts still in good shape.
Free pickup across Brisbane. Running or not, we collect it from your home or work at no cost.
Cash on the spot. Payment when we pick the car up, not later.
No private-sale haggling. You avoid buyers who use every scratch to grind the price down.
How we value a damaged car
We look at what the car would be worth in good order, then weigh the damage against that: how serious it is, whether it is cosmetic or mechanical, and how much of the car is still sound. A car with heavy body damage but a good drivetrain still has real value in its running gear. A car with a blown engine but a clean body has value in its panels and interior. We price the whole picture, not just the worst part.
What happens to your damaged car
Depending on the damage, a car we buy is either repaired and resold, dismantled for its good parts, or recycled for scrap. Usable parts are recovered for other drivers, and fluids are handled properly. Nothing useful is wasted, which is part of how we can pay a fair price for a damaged car.
Selling a damaged car versus trading it in
If you are buying another car, a dealer might offer to take the damaged one as a trade. It is convenient, but a trade-in on a damaged car is usually the lowest figure of all, because the dealer has to cover the repair or wholesale it on themselves and still make a margin. Selling the damaged car to us for cash, then walking into the dealer as a cash buyer, often leaves you better off and gives you more room to negotiate on the new car. It is worth getting our offer before you accept a trade figure, so you are comparing real numbers rather than guessing.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to repair my car before selling it to you?
No. We buy damaged cars in their current condition. Spending money on repairs first usually costs you more than it adds to the offer.
Do you buy cars with mechanical damage as well as body damage?
Yes. Engine, gearbox, suspension and electrical faults are all fine, on their own or alongside body damage.
How much is my damaged car worth?
It depends on the car’s value in good order, the type and extent of the damage, and what parts are still sound. Call for a firm figure.
Can I sell a car that is part-way through repairs?
Yes. Abandoned repair jobs and part-assembled cars are welcome. Tell us the state it is in.
Is pickup free for a damaged car?
Yes. Free pickup across our Brisbane service area, running or not.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate?
No. You do not need a safety certificate to sell a damaged car to us.
Will you still buy it if the damage is only cosmetic?
Yes. Lightly damaged and cosmetically marked cars are fine. We buy across the whole range of damage.
How soon can you pick it up?
Often the same day, depending on your location and the time you call.
