Your old, damaged, or non-running vehicle doesn’t have to sit idle. You can sell your vehicle for scrap and turn it into cash quickly and securely. Instead of relying on a single local quote, an online marketplace gives you access to multiple verified buyers and competitive offers.
ScrapTrade – Australia’s Online Scrap Trading Marketplace makes it easy to sell scrap cars online, compare offers, and choose the highest-paying bid.
Why Your Vehicle Has Scrap Value
Even cars that no longer run still contain valuable materials:
- Steel and iron from the body and chassis
- Aluminium engine parts and panels
- Copper wiring and electronics
- Batteries
- Catalytic converters containing precious metals
Selling responsibly not only earns cash but also helps reduce landfill waste and supports Australia’s sustainability initiatives.
