WRITTEN-OFF VEHICLES
Sell a Written-Off Car in NSW: Repairable or Statutory
The insurer said it's not worth fixing. That was their maths, not the car's value. We buy repairable and statutory write-offs across NSW, and we tell you exactly which one you've got before we name a price.

THE HONEST POSITION
Written off by insurance. Not written off by us.
Insurance wrote it off. That doesn't mean it's worthless. It means the insurer's maths didn't work, not that the car has no value. We buy both repairable write-offs (cars that can legally return to the road after repair and inspection) and statutory write-offs (cars that can't be re-registered but still carry real value in parts and materials). We'll tell you plainly which category yours is in and price it accordingly. No confusion, no lowballing because you mentioned the word “write-off.”
This is the one page where we're deliberately boring about the rules, because this is the corner of the market where sellers get misled most. Anyone who tells you a statutory write-off can go back on the road in NSW is wrong. Full stop. What we can do is pay an honest price for what the car actually is, and show you exactly how we got to the number.
If the insurer paid you out and you kept the car, you're holding what we buy every single week. Get a straight quote on your write-off before you let it go for scrap value.
The insurer's maths didn't work. That doesn't mean the car has no value.
NSW RULES · KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
- Statutory write-offs can NEVER be re-registered in NSW, banned since 2011. They sell for parts and materials value only. We say that straight; nobody should tell you otherwise.
- Repairable write-offs can be repaired, but NSW re-registration is heavily restricted. We'll tell you exactly what applies to yours. No promises we can't keep.
- Check a car's written-off status before you sell. Free by phone on 13 22 13, or online via a Service NSW vehicle history report (WOVR data included).
- Insurer paid out and you kept the car? That's common. We buy owner-retained write-offs weekly.
WHY WE PAY MORE
Because we repair cars in our own workshop, a repairable write-off is worth more to us than to any buyer pricing it as scrap, and we'll show you the maths.
Honest classification
We tell you straight, repairable or statutory, before any number is named.
In-house repair economics
Our repair cost is trade cost, so our offer on repairable write-offs is higher.

Written-off questions, straight answers
A repairable write-off can legally return to the road after proper repairs and inspection, though NSW re-registration rules are strict. A statutory write-off can never be re-registered in NSW, banned since 2011, and its value is parts and materials. Check your car's status, then get our quote for what it actually is.
Get a quote →Yes. You just can't re-register it, and neither can anyone else. Statutory write-offs sell for parts and materials value, and we buy them weekly at honest prices. What you should never do is pay anyone promising to “get it back on the road”; in NSW that can't legally happen.
Get a quote →More than most people expect, less than a clean-title twin. It depends on the car, the damage and the repair cost. Because we do the repairs in our own workshop, our repair cost is lower than yours would be, so our offer is higher than a wrecker's. The fastest way to a real number is a free quote.
