    Frequently Asked Questions – Selling Your Car with M4 Car Removal

    Selling your unwanted vehicle to M4 Car Removal is designed to be simple, safe, and hassle-free. Below are answers to common questions from car owners across Sydney and surrounding suburbs.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    ➜ What documents do I need to sell my car?

    In most cases, you’ll need:

    • A valid photo ID (e.g. Driver License)
    • Proof of ownership (registration papers, purchase receipt, or similar)
    • Vehicle keys (if available)

    If you are missing your Rego papers or keys, we may still be able to help – just let us know when you request a quote so we can advise you.

    ➜ Can I sell an unregistered car in Sydney?

    Yes. We regularly buy vehicles that are:

    • Unregistered
    • Unroadworthy
    • Damaged or non-running
    • Hail-damaged, accident-damaged, or written off
    • Complete scrap cars

    You don’t need registration or a roadworthy certificate to sell to us.

    ➜ Do you buy cars without keys or with missing parts?

    Yes, we do. We can purchase:

    • Cars with no keys
    • Vehicles missing panels, wheels, or other parts
    • Dismantled or partially stripped cars
    • Rusted, abandoned, or neglected vehicles

    The offer will be based on the overall condition, but we always aim to give you a fair, competitive price.

    ➜ How quickly can you pick up my vehicle?

    We offer same-day car removal in many cases, depending on:

    • Your location
    • Vehicle accessibility
    • Time of your booking

    Often, we can collect within a few hours if you contact us early in the day.

    ➜ How will I get paid?

    In line with NSW scrap metal and cash-for-cars regulations, we use cashless payment methods, such as:

    • Bank transfer (EFT)
    • Instant/Osko transfer (when supported by your bank)

    Payment is processed at the time of pickup, once the vehicle and documents are confirmed.

    ➜ Do you charge for towing or collection?

    No. Towing is completely free.
    There are:

    • No call-out fees
    • No loading or admin fees
    • No hidden charges

    The price we agree on is what you receive.

    ➜ Can I sell a car that isn’t registered in my name?

    Sometimes, yes – but we must be satisfied that you have the right to sell the vehicle. We may ask for:

    • A signed letter from the legal owner
    • Supporting documents for deceased estates or executors
    • Power of attorney or similar authority

    Our team will verify ownership before finalising the sale.

    ➜ Do I need to cancel my registration after selling my car?

    If the car is still registered, you should notify Transport for NSW (Service NSW) after the sale. You may be eligible for a refund of unused registration, subject to their rules.

    If the car is already unregistered, you generally don’t need to do anything further.

    ➜ Do you buy cars with outstanding finance?

    As a general rule, we do not buy vehicles that still have a significant loan balance owing. In some cases where the remaining amount is very small, we may be able to help.

    You should speak to your finance provider about paying out or clearing the loan before selling, or contact us to discuss your situation.

    ➜ Can I get a quote without committing to sell?

    Yes. All quotes from M4 Car Removal are:

    • Free
    • Fast
    • Obligation-free

    You decide whether to proceed once you receive the offer.

    ➜ What types of vehicles do you buy?

    We buy almost all types of vehicles, including:

    • Cars and sedans
    • SUVs and 4x4s
    • Utes and vans
    • Light commercial vehicles
    • Some trucks and fleet vehicles
    • Damaged, scrap, non-running, and written-off vehicles

    If you’re unsure whether we’ll take your vehicle, just contact us with the details.

    ➜ What if my vehicle can’t move or is badly damaged?

    No problem – that’s what we specialise in. Our tow truck team can remove:

    • Burnt-out or severely damaged vehicles
    • Accident or flood-damaged cars
    • Cars stuck in driveways, backyards, or tight spots
    • Rusted, abandoned, or non-drivable vehicles

    We bring the right equipment to handle difficult removals.

    ➜ How do you calculate my car’s value?

    We look at several factors, including:

    • Make, model, and year
    • Overall condition (body, interior, mechanical)
    • Kilometres travelled
    • Current market demand for that vehicle or parts
    • Metal weight and scrap value (for end-of-life vehicles)

    Using this information, we work out a fair and competitive offer.

    ➜ Are your services safe and legal?

    Yes. M4 Car Removal operates as a legitimate, ABN-registered business and complies with relevant NSW regulations for vehicle buying, towing, and recycling. We follow proper procedures to ensure all transactions are secure and documented.

    ➜ What happens to my car after I sell it?

    Depending on the vehicle’s condition and value, we may:

    • Recycle it for metal
    • Dismantle it for reusable parts
    • Repair and resell it (where suitable)
    • Send it to authorised recycling and wrecking facilities

    We aim to dispose of vehicles in an environmentally responsible way, reducing waste and promoting recycling.
