Sell it before it's taken away

If your council has left a note on your car, or a neighbour has reported it, the simplest fix is often to sell it. We buy unregistered, non-running and long-parked cars and collect them for free on our tilt tray.

How the process works in SA (general information only)

City of Charles Sturt takes reports of vehicles that haven't moved for 2 weeks. The council describes its investigation as lengthy. Unregistered vehicles are handled by SA Police, not the council. Source: https://www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au/services/other-services/parking
City of Port Adelaide Enfield accepts abandoned-vehicle reports online.
If a council removes a vehicle, the Local Government Act 1999 (SA), s237, requires it to offer the vehicle for sale by public auction or tender, or to dispose of it if it's unlikely to sell. Source: https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/sa/consol_act/lga1999182/s237.html

Act early. Selling to us means you get paid rather than having the car taken away and sold by someone else.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Follow the instructions and deadlines on your notice, and contact your council or SA Police if you're unsure. We are not working with, or contracted by, any council.

What we need from you

Photos of the car and the notice, so we know your deadline.
Where the car is parked. Our tilt tray has a winch, so the car doesn't need to run.

What you get

A firm quote of $200 to $2,000. We pay what we quote if the car matches the photos and description, in cash or by PayID before we lift.
Free tilt-tray pickup, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
Help with the MR96 notice of disposal (it must be lodged within 14 days), the rego cancellation and the plates.

Not your car?

We can only buy a car from its owner. If a car that isn't yours has been left near your home, report it to your council (or SA Police if it's unregistered).
