Cash for Cars Carlton

Describe the vehicle without unnecessary movement

Give its make, model and age, together with damage, known faults and missing components. Completeness and condition influence the offer. If the car has not moved recently, explain that during the enquiry. You can use accessible photos without trying to drive an unsafe vehicle into a better position. Mention unfinished work and whether a starting or steering problem was confirmed, rather than give a diagnosis simply to complete the description.

Include equipment affecting the setup

A canopy, roof fitting or body conversion may change a vehicle's height and overall dimensions. Tell us about those additions and whether they will remain. Trucks and utes need their body described; vans may have installed cargo storage. Portable tools and personal belongings can be cleared separately. Discuss retained accessories before accepting an offer, and explain any difference between the photos provided and the equipment that will be present when the vehicle is collected.

Coordinate managed entry in advance

Provide the Carlton address and describe doors, known clearance limits and who controls entry. Mention keys and wheel or steering restrictions. Removal is free. We confirm appointments after access and scheduling are discussed, with same-day pickup subject to availability. Check arrangements with the relevant property contact and pass on the confirmed time. If access is limited to certain hours, tell us when booking rather than assume a requested time has already been reserved.

Prepare the car and attending contact

Ask about payment and required documents before accepting. Retrieve belongings and gather keys and loose parts included in the sale. If somebody else will provide entry, give them the booking details and our number. Contact us if the vehicle moves or access changes before pickup. Discussing those details early lets you sell with collection included instead of accepting an amount while leaving the question of how the car can leave until later.
