3 Steps to Selling Your Unwanted Vehicle for Parts This Weekend

3 Steps to Selling Your Unwanted Vehicle for Parts This Weekend

It’s Friday afternoon. You’re looking forward to a relaxing weekend—maybe firing up the barbie with mates, heading to the beach, or just enjoying some quiet time in your own backyard. But then you see it. That old, unwanted car.

It sits there, day after day, a constant, nagging reminder on your mental to-do list. It might be the old family wagon that was replaced years ago, the project car you never found the time for, or the ute that finally gave up the ghost. You know you need to get rid of it, but the thought of the process—the ads, the phone calls, the haggling, the paperwork—feels like a monumental project that would take weeks, if not months.

What if we told you that you could solve that entire problem, from start to finish, this very weekend?

At WA Auto Parts, we believe that selling your unwanted car shouldn’t be a long, drawn-out chore. With over 15 years of experience as Perth’s leading auto parts buyer and wrecker, we have perfected a process designed for speed, simplicity, and a great cash outcome for you. This is your simple, 3-step action plan to turn that unwanted vehicle into instant cash, and have it gone before the weekend is over.

First, Why “Selling for Parts” is the Smartest Move for Your Unwanted Car

Before we get to the steps, let’s quickly cover why “selling for parts” is the most logical and profitable path for a car that’s old, non-running, or unregistered.

When a car can no longer function reliably as a whole, its value shifts. It’s no longer a mode of transport; it’s a rich inventory of individual components. The engine, gearbox, alternator, doors, headlights, and hundreds of other pieces still have significant value to mechanics and other car owners who need affordable, quality spare parts.

As Perth’s one-stop used auto parts shop, this is our area of expertise. We know that the alternator from a Japanese Toyota Corolla, the door from an Australian Ford Falcon, or the engine from a Korean Hyundai i30 all have a thriving market. By selling to a specialist like WA Auto Parts, you are cashing in on the total value of these components, not just what the car looks like from the outside. It’s the most honest and financially sound way to liquidate the car’s remaining worth.

The 3-Step Plan to Cash in Your Car This Weekend

This plan is designed for maximum efficiency. Forget weeks of stress; think in terms of hours.

3 Steps to Selling Your Unwanted Vehicle for Parts This Weekend

STEP 1: Friday Afternoon (5:00 PM) – The 10-Minute “Get Ready” Blitz

Your weekend officially starts now, and so does this incredibly simple process. Your goal here is to gather the basic information we’ll need to give you an accurate quote. It will take you less time than it takes to unpack the groceries.

A. Locate Your Proof of Ownership: All you need is your valid driver’s licence. This is what we use to confirm you are the legal owner of the vehicle. If you happen to know where your Certificate of Registration (rego papers) are, that’s great, but don’t waste your Friday night tearing the house apart looking for them. If you have your ID, we can help you.

B. Know Your Car’s Vitals: On a piece of paper or in your phone’s notes, just jot down:

  • Make: (e.g., Toyota, Holden, Mazda)
  • Model: (e.g., Camry, Commodore, 3)
  • Year of Manufacture: (e.g., 2008)
  • Your Suburb: (e.g., Morley, Fremantle, Joondalup)

C. A Quick Condition Report: Just a quick mental note is all you need. Is it complete? Does it have any major accident damage? Has the engine been removed? A simple, honest assessment helps us give you our best possible price right from the start.

And that’s it. Step 1 is done. Now go and enjoy your Friday evening.

STEP 2: Saturday Morning (9:00 AM) – Make the 5-Minute Call & Lock in Your Cash Offer

After your morning coffee, it’s time for the most important—and easiest—step. Your goal is to get a firm cash offer and book the removal, all in one quick phone call.

A. Who to Call? The One-Call Solution: Don’t waste your precious Saturday calling dozens of places and fielding confusing offers. Make one call to the experts at WA Auto Parts on (08) 9358 1392. Because our primary business is selling used auto parts from Japanese, European, Australian, Korean, and American vehicles, we have an expert understanding of your car’s total value and can give you a top-tier offer.

B. Provide Your Details: When our friendly, Perth-based team answers, simply give them the details you gathered in Step 1.

C. Get Your Instant Quote: Within minutes, we will give you a firm, no-obligation cash offer for your car. The price we say is the price you get. No games, no gimmicks.

D. Schedule Your FREE Pickup: If you’re happy with the offer, we can lock in a pickup time that suits your weekend schedule. We can often arrange for removal on the very same day—Saturday afternoon—or on Sunday morning. You choose what works for you. And remember, the towing and removal service is 100% FREE.

Step 2 is complete. Now the rest of your Saturday is free for you to enjoy.

STEP 3: Saturday/Sunday – The 15-Minute Handover & Instant Payment

This is the final, satisfying step where your problem disappears and cash appears in your hand.

A. Prepare for Pickup: About 10 minutes before our tow truck is due to arrive, do one last quick sweep of the car for any personal items. Check the glove box for old sunnies, the centre console for loose change, and the boot for anything you might have forgotten.

B. The Professional Pickup and Simple Paperwork: Our experienced, uniformed driver will arrive on time with a professional tow truck.

  • They will quickly verify the vehicle and your ownership with your ID.
  • They will have the simple paperwork ready for you. In WA, this is just a Notice of Disposal form, which legally transfers the vehicle from your name. We handle the submission and all the complexity. All you need to do is sign.

C. Get Paid on the Spot: Once the paperwork is signed, the driver will pay you the agreed-upon cash amount right then and there. No waiting for cheques to clear or for bank transfers to process. You get paid instantly.

D. The Result: Our driver will then safely load your unwanted car onto the truck and tow it away. By lunchtime on Sunday (or even Saturday afternoon!), the car that has been a source of stress is gone. The space it occupied is now yours to reclaim. You have a wallet full of cash, and the rest of your weekend is yours to enjoy, completely problem-free.
