Do you have any questions or are you ready to make a deal? Today, call WA Auto Parts at (08) 9358 1392.
1. Evidence of Ownership
Proof of ownership is the most important document you need. This paper proves that you are the legal owner of the car, which is required if you want to sell it to a wrecker. A vehicle title or registration papers are usually proof of ownership, and a reliable wrecker like WA Auto Parts won’t be able to buy the car without them.
Why It’s Important:
It stops fraud and the illegal sale of stolen cars.
Makes sure that both the seller and the buyer can see everything.
It is against the law to sell or give away a car.
Don’t worry if you’ve lost your title. You can get a new one from your local Department of Transport. Before you try to sell your car, make sure this is taken care of.
2. Identification by photo
When you sell your car, you need to show a valid photo ID to prove who you are. Your driver’s license, passport, or any other government-issued ID could work. Car wreckers need this to follow the law and keep people safe, making sure they only deal with real sellers.
Why It’s Important:
Checks to make sure you are who you say you are.
Helps stop people from doing bad things.
Is often needed to make the sale paperwork legal.
Having your ID ready during the transaction will save time and keep things moving.
3. Papers for registering your car
When you sell your car to a wrecker, you will also need to have the registration papers. These papers have a lot of information about the car, such as its make, model, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and registration number. Even if the registration has run out, you still need to show these papers to prove that the car is legally registered in your name.
Why It’s Important:
It lets the wrecker check your car’s history and details.
Ensures a seamless transfer of ownership and cancellation of registration.
Shows that you are the rightful owner.
After you sell your car, we at WA Auto Parts can help you deregister it with the Department of Transport.
4. Records of Service and Maintenance
Service and maintenance records are not required, but they are very helpful when you sell your car. These records show the work that has been done on the car in the past, like oil changes, repairs, and part replacements. Wreckers can better estimate a vehicle’s value if they know its history, especially if they can salvage certain parts and sell them as used auto parts.
Why It’s Important: It shows that the car was well cared for, which could make it worth more.
Helps buyers or wreckers figure out how well important parts are working.
Makes it easier to negotiate prices by keeping a clear record.
If you have these records, add them. It’s a quick way to possibly raise your cash offer.
5. Form for Release of Liability
You must fill out a release of liability form after you sell your car to officially give up all claims and responsibilities related to the car. This document makes sure that you are no longer responsible for the car if it gets into an accident, gets a ticket, or has legal problems after it changes hands.
At WA Auto Parts, we help customers by guiding them through this process and making sure that all legal requirements are met before the sale is complete.
Why It’s Important:
Keeps you from having to pay for any future problems with the car.
Legally ends your ownership of the car.
Gives you peace of mind after the sale.
Are your registration or fines out of date? Clear these up to make the change go more smoothly.
6. Any other local rules that need to be followed
Depending on the rules in Perth and the terms set by your wrecker, you may need to provide more paperwork. For instance, some places may require a statutory declaration or a disposal form that shows the car is no longer safe to drive and is officially being sold to a wrecker.
WA Auto Parts knows that the paperwork can be hard to understand, so we make sure to explain what you need based on your situation. We do everything we can to make selling your car as easy as possible.
Why It’s Important: It makes sure that the law is followed in your area.
