Cash For Non-Running Cars Brisbane
A car that will not start is not a car most people can sell easily. You cannot drive it to a buyer, you cannot get it through a roadworthy, and a tow to sell it eats into anything you would make. Cash Your Car solves all of that. We buy non-running cars across Brisbane, tow them free, and pay you cash on the spot. The car never has to move under its own power.
We buy cars that will not start
The key point: a non-runner is completely normal for us. Whether it is a flat battery, a blown engine, or a fault nobody has bothered to diagnose, we make an offer and collect the car as it sits. You do not fix it, jump-start it, or roll it anywhere.

Why cars stop running
Non-running cars come to us with all sorts of faults, and the cause changes what the car is worth:
- Blown or seized engine
- Failed gearbox or transmission
- Electrical faults that kill the start
- Flat or dead battery and a car left sitting
- Cooling, fuel or timing failures
- A fault nobody has diagnosed, and the car just stopped
The body and interior are often still in good shape even when the mechanicals have given up, and that matters for the offer.
A non-running car can still be worth good money
This is where a lot of people undersell themselves. A car with a dead engine but a clean, straight body still has real value in its panels, interior, glass and running gear. And if the fault is minor, like a battery or a starter, the car may be worth more than you think. We look at the whole car, not just the reason it will not start, so the offer reflects everything that is still good about it.
Why sell your non-running car to us
- Free towing is built in. A non-runner has to be towed, and we cover that cost. It does not come out of your offer.
- We come to you. Home, work, or wherever the car died, anywhere in Brisbane.
- Cash on the spot. Paid when we load the car, not later.
- No diagnosis needed. You do not have to know why it will not start. Tell us what you know and we will work with it.
- Fast pickup. Often the same day, so the dead car is not stuck in your driveway for weeks.
How we value a non-running car
We start with what the car would be worth running, then account for the fault. A minor, cheap-to-fix problem takes less off the value than a blown engine. Then we add the value of everything still in good order: body, interior, glass, wheels and any sound parts. A tidy car with one dead component is worth more than a rough car with several. We price the full picture.
What happens to the car
Depending on the fault and condition, a non-running car is either repaired and resold, dismantled for its good parts, or recycled for scrap. A car with a minor issue and a clean body may go back on the road for someone else. A car with a major failure is stripped for parts and metal. Either way, the good bits are put to use and the fluids are handled properly.
How it works
- Tell us what happened. Make, model, year, and what you know about why it stopped.
- Get your offer. A firm cash figure that accounts for the fault and the good parts.
- We tow and pay. Free pickup across Brisbane, cash on the spot.
Paperwork for a non-running car
Proof you own the car and photo ID is the main thing. If it is registered, we will guide you through cancelling the Queensland rego and any refund. The car not running does not change the paperwork, and we handle it with you at pickup.
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy cars that will not start at all?
Yes. A completely dead car is fine. We tow it, so it does not need to start or move.
Do I need to know why my car stopped running?
No. Tell us what you know and leave the rest to us. We buy diagnosed and undiagnosed faults alike.
Is towing free for a non-running car?
Yes. Free towing is included and does not reduce your offer.
How much is a non-running car worth?
It depends on the fault and what is still in good order. A minor fault or a clean body lifts the value. Call for a firm figure.
Can I sell a car with a blown engine?
Yes. A blown or seized engine is common with the cars we buy. The rest of the car still has value.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate?
No. A safety certificate is not required to sell a non-running car.
Will you buy it if it just has a flat battery?
Yes, and it may be worth more than you expect if the fault is that minor. We will price it fairly.
How soon can you collect it?
Often the same day, depending on your location.
