How Much Will You Get For Your Truck?
The cash offer we provide depends on several factors that determine a vehicle’s actual worth in the dismantling market:
Condition and mechanical soundness: A truck that still runs commands more value than a non-runner because we can test components and verify functionality. However, non-running trucks still have worth in their parts and materials.
Age and mileage: Newer vehicles with lower kilometres typically have more valuable components. A five-year-old truck with 200,000 kilometres will be worth considerably more than a 15-year-old vehicle with 500,000 kilometres.
Make and model desirability: Popular commercial vehicles like Hino and Isuzu trucks have strong parts demand in Australia. Japanese imports, in particular, have very active secondary parts markets. European trucks command premium prices for specific components.
Component condition and completeness: A truck with original expensive parts like alternators, starters, gearboxes and diesel engines in good condition will be valued higher. Missing components or severe rust and corrosion reduce value.
Tyre and rim condition: Good quality tyres and undamaged rims add measurable value. Bald tyres or damaged rims reduce the overall valuation.
Market demand: Seasonal variations affect dismantling prices. Steel and aluminium scrap rates fluctuate, which influences what we can offer. During peak demand periods, prices are typically stronger.
Current market rates typically mean trucks fetch anywhere from $500 to $15,000 depending on these factors. We’ve paid as much as $19,999 for premium used vehicles, and we ensure every quote we provide is competitive within the Melbourne market.
