Do you have a written-off car and are thinking of repairing, selling, or getting rid of it? Before making a decision, consider this: repairing may cost more than the car is worth. Getting fast cash is often the smartest move — and Express Cash for Cars buys written-off cars all over Australia. Just wait for us to pick it up and receive your payment instantly.
A written-off car is a vehicle assessed by an authorised assessor and declared a total loss because it is unsafe and too costly to repair. Once declared written off, the car is added to the Written Off Vehicle Register (WOVR).
A statutory write-off is a car with severe damage, such as from floods, fire, or major structural damage. These vehicles can never legally return to the road but can be sold for scrap or parts. Sell it quickly to Express Cash for Cars and save time.
A repairable write-off car can be fixed, but the repair cost is higher than the vehicle’s value.
The eligibility for a car to return to the road includes:
Even after being repaired, the car remains marked as a write-off and its value decreases.
Whether your car is statutory or repairable, Express Cash for Cars offers a fast, no-hassle solution.
There are several steps:
The insurer compares the estimated cost of repairs with the car’s pre-accident market value.
The Written Off Vehicle Register records the VIN and details of the damage, preventing unsafe cars — especially statutory write-offs — from returning to the road.
The insurer pays the owner based on the car’s market value. Any outstanding finance is deducted first.
The insurer may keep the car and scrap it for parts or sell it.
If the owner chooses to buy it back, they must handle all repair and re-registration costs.
Many owners choose to sell their written-off vehicle immediately after settlement. Express Cash for Cars offers simple, same-day collection even for badly damaged or non-drivable cars.
You may get a rego refund under certain conditions, as long as it’s done before the expiry date.
In NSW, once a car is declared written off, you will receive written notification and the registration is cancelled. You must return the number plates to Service NSW within 14 days, show proof of identity, and provide bank details.
When your rego is cancelled, you can still sell your written-off car easily. Express Cash for Cars buys vehicles with or without rego.
You can check a car’s status through the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR), the modern version of the REVS check.
Enter the vehicle’s VIN on the official PPSR website or through a third-party provider, complete payment, and receive a report detailing the vehicle’s history.
If your car shows up as written off, Express Cash for Cars still buys it at fair prices with no inspection needed.
Generally, statutory write-offs cannot be registered again. However, some repairable write-offs may be eligible under strict conditions.
You may re-register a repairable write-off by following Transport for NSW requirements:
If the process is too costly or complicated, selling to Express Cash for Cars is the fastest solution.
It is illegal to drive a statutory write-off as its registration is cancelled. A repairable write-off may be driven only after repair, inspection, and re-registration.
