About the Process
You bring your vehicle to us for a free assessment. We agree on a loan amount based on your vehicle’s market value. You hand over your vehicle, we hold it securely, and you walk away with cash. Interest is payable each month while the loan is open; when you repay the loan in full, you can collect your vehicle straight away. Storage, access and how your vehicle is returned are covered when we process your loan contract.
In most cases same day. Once we’ve assessed your vehicle and agreed on terms, the process is straightforward. Most customers walk away with cash within a few hours of their assessment.
We recommend submitting a quote request online first so we can review your vehicle details. We’ll then arrange a convenient time for your assessment.
We encourage open communication if you’re having difficulty. Contact us as early as possible — especially before you miss a monthly interest payment — and we’ll discuss your options. We want to work with you to get your vehicle back.
No. How long you keep the loan is up to you — there’s no set end date. Interest is payable each month while the loan is active, and when you repay the loan in full you collect your vehicle straight away. If your situation changes, contact us and we’ll work through options with you.
About Your Vehicle
We accept cars, motorcycles, 4WDs, SUVs, utes and vans. Most makes and models are considered. The vehicle must be registered in your name and free of finance.
No. We assess vehicles in all conditions. The loan amount we offer is based on the realistic market value accounting for the vehicle’s condition.
We consider all vehicles regardless of age or mileage. Older or high-mileage vehicles will receive a valuation reflecting their current market value.
No. The vehicle must be fully owned by you and free of any finance or encumbrances. It must also be registered in your name.
We offer loans from $1,000 up to $50,000 depending on the assessed market value of your vehicle.
Privacy & Eligibility
No. We lend against the value of your vehicle, not your credit history. We do not run credit checks. Bad credit, defaults, bankruptcy — none of it matters to us.
Completely. We treat every customer with total discretion. Your personal information and financial situation are kept strictly private and never shared with any third party.
It depends on the loan amount. For smaller loans we often won’t need a detailed explanation of what the money is for. For larger amounts we may ask you briefly about the purpose of the funds as part of our assessment and compliance requirements.
We service all of Adelaide including Noarlunga, Morphett Vale, Christies Beach, Hallett Cove, Marion, Mitcham, Glenelg, Reynella, Seaford, Aldinga, McLaren Vale and Victor Harbor.
Yes. Don’t Sell It operates under a valid SA pawnbroker licence in compliance with the Second-hand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act 1996 (SA).
When you sell, you permanently give up ownership of your vehicle. When you pawn, you temporarily hand over the vehicle as collateral for a cash loan. Once you repay the loan, you get your vehicle back. Pawning gives you cash now while keeping the option to get your vehicle back.
