Paid on collection
We're a local buyer, not a marketplace. Final price is agreed before we load your car.
How it works
Three steps — no auction, no listing
We buy the car directly. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — we'd rather you know upfront than waste a day.
1
Tell us what it is
Call or use the form — make, model, year, condition, suburb. Photos help if you have them.
2
Get a number
We give a ballpark on the phone or after a quick call-back. Final figure is locked in before we send a truck.
3
We collect, you get paid
Pickup time that suits you. Cash (or agreed payment method) before the vehicle leaves your place.
Why sell to us
Skip the Gumtree circus
Private buyers flake. Dealers lowball trade-ins. We’re a buyer — you get one price, one pickup, done.
- Brisbane-based team
- Licensed removal & disposal partners
- Upfront if we’re not interested
Paid when we pick up
We don’t drive away with your keys until you’ve been paid the agreed amount.
Towing’s on us
If we buy it, we bring the truck. No surprise deductions for collection in our service area.
Rough to written off
Old daily drivers, damaged, unregistered, scrap — we’ll tell you straight if it’s a fit.
Transfer paperwork
We handle the QLD transfer side so you’re not stuck in a queue at the counter.

FAQ
Straight answers
Towing, rego, pricing — the stuff people actually ask before they book a pickup.
Cash for cars means we pay you cash when we collect your vehicle — no waiting on bank transfers. You get a quote, we arrange free towing, and you are paid on the spot before the car leaves your property. Caraway services all of Greater Brisbane, 7 days a week.
Every car is different. We calculate your offer based on make, model, year, condition, mileage, and the current scrap metal and spare parts market. Brisbane sellers typically receive between $150 and $9,999. Old, non-running cars can still fetch several hundred dollars. If you have another written quote, tell us — we’ll see what we can do.
Yes — 100% free towing anywhere in Greater Brisbane, including Ipswich, Logan, Redland Bay, and Moreton Bay. There are no hidden deductions from your agreed quote. The price we offer is the price you receive in cash.
You get paid on the spot the moment our driver arrives to collect your vehicle — before the car goes on the truck. Most Brisbane sellers receive same-day payment within a few hours of accepting our offer.
We buy all types of vehicles: old cars, damaged cars, scrap cars, accident write-offs, unregistered vehicles, flood-damaged cars, trucks, utes, 4WDs, SUVs, vans, and fleet vehicles. Running or not — if it has four wheels, we'll make you an offer.
No RWC is required at all. We buy cars as-is, in any condition. Whether your car is registered, unregistered, damaged, broken down, or completely written off — we don't require a roadworthy certificate.
Just your photo ID (driver's licence) to prove ownership. If you have the registration papers, great — but they're not essential. We handle all the vehicle transfer documentation and paperwork on your behalf.
Yes. We cover all of Greater Brisbane including the inner city, north (Redcliffe, North Lakes, Strathpine), south (Logan, Beenleigh, Springwood), east (Capalaba, Cleveland, Wynnum), and west (Ipswich, Springfield, Forest Lake). If you're unsure, call us — we likely service your area.
Absolutely. Unregistered and de-registered vehicles are among the most common types we purchase. You do not need current registration to sell. We buy vehicles in all registration states across Queensland.
None at all. Your quote is completely free and comes with zero obligation. If you're not happy with our offer, you're free to walk away — no fees, no pressure. We're confident our offers are competitive and our service will speak for itself.
Depending on the vehicle's condition, we either resell it, part it out as spare parts, or responsibly recycle and scrap it at a licensed facility. We comply with all Queensland environmental regulations for vehicle recycling.
