Practical information

Submitting a rusty, old or unwanted car

In Québec, people may call a worn-out vehicle a junk car, scrap car, minoune or bazou. Those informal labels do not determine a price. To review an unwanted vehicle, provide the actual year, model, mileage and condition.

Minor surface corrosion is not the same as a perforated floor, a badly corroded frame or unsafe lifting points. Photograph accessible areas without lifting the vehicle or exposing yourself to danger.

A car that has been parked outdoors for years may have flat tires, seized brakes or a dead battery. Explain what is known; a purchase decision and any transport arrangements require separate confirmation.

Common questions

Can I submit a severely rusty car?

Yes. Describe the corrosion and include realistic photos; this is a request for review, not a guaranteed purchase.

Should I clean or scrape rust off first?

No. Show the actual condition without risky dismantling or unsafe handling.

Do you buy every old vehicle?

No. Each enquiry depends on vehicle facts, ownership and location.
