If there’s a Lexus sitting idle on your property — whether it’s an old IS that’s done its time, an RX with a hybrid battery on its way out, or something that’s been written off after a prang — Loman Car Removals will take it off your hands. We’re based in Bassendean, and we send drivers out across Perth daily, so getting rid of an unwanted Lexus doesn’t have to mean weeks of Gumtree messages that go nowhere.
Most people searching for Lexus wreckers Perth-wide are in one of two situations: the car still runs but isn’t worth fixing anymore, or it’s already stopped running and is just taking up a parking bay. Either way works for us. We’re licensed to buy and dismantle vehicles in WA, so the paperwork side is handled properly rather than as an afterthought.
A lot of Lexus wreckers near me searches come from people who’ve already had one quote and want to compare it. Fair enough — here’s roughly how we think about pricing.
The model matters less than people expect. An older IS250 in decent nick can sometimes be worth more to us than a newer model with a dead hybrid battery, because the IS has parts that move quickly — suspension components, electronics, body panels for the common models. RX and NX hybrids are a different story: if the battery pack is still good, that alone can be worth a few hundred dollars on its own, separate from the rest of the car.
A few things that typically push a quote up:
And a few things that bring it down, though rarely to zero:
Condition doesn’t just mean cosmetic, either. A car that’s been sitting for two years with a flat battery and seized brakes is often easier for us to deal with than one that’s driveable but has a salvage write-off against it, because the write-off status affects what we can legally do with the registration paperwork. We’ll talk you through that if it applies to you.
We don’t do the thing where we quote high over the phone and then “find problems” once the truck arrives. The figure we give you on the call is the figure you get paid, assuming the car matches what you’ve described.
Loman covers a genuinely wide spread of Perth — we’re not just doing the inner suburbs and charging extra for everywhere else. Suburbs we cover regularly include:
If your Lexus is in Midland, Forrestfield, Kalamunda or Malaga, that’s well within our usual run — these areas sit close enough to our Bassendean base that we can often get a driver out the same day, sometimes within a couple of hours if the timing works.
The removal itself is free regardless of which of those areas you’re in. We don’t add a “remote area” fee for the further-out suburbs like Mandurah or Rockingham, which is something a few yards quietly do.
Most wreckers will happily take a common Toyota or Holden but get vague when you mention a Lexus, because parts demand and dismantling knowledge for the brand isn’t universal. We deal with Lexus regularly enough that it’s not a special case for us.
Sedans we regularly buy:
SUVs and crossovers:
Other models and hybrids:
If you’ve got something less common — an older LS, a heavily modified RC, or anything not listed above — give us a call rather than assuming it’s a no. We’d rather have a two-minute conversation about your specific car than have you assume we’re not interested.
Part of it is simply being local — Bassendean isn’t a huge suburb, but it sits in a useful spot for getting to most of metro Perth without crossing the city first. That translates to faster pickup times for a lot of people, particularly in the eastern and northern suburbs.
The other part is that we’re not a call centre forwarding your details to whoever’s nearest. When you ring 0416 560 008, you’re talking to the people who’ll actually be involved in buying the car, which tends to mean fewer surprises later.

Our licence number (MD23612) is something you’re welcome to check against the WA register if you want to confirm we’re operating properly — most people don’t ask, but we’d rather you did than wonder.

Do you buy Lexus hybrids with a faulty battery?
Yes. A failed hybrid battery affects the price but doesn’t stop us from buying the car — the rest of the vehicle still has value, and even a faulty pack has some recycling value.
My Lexus is a registered write-off — can you still take it?
In most cases, yes, though the paperwork differs slightly from a standard sale. Mention this when you call so we can confirm what’s needed for your specific situation.
Is the removal really free, or is that just for certain suburbs?
It’s free across our usual coverage area, which includes everywhere from Joondalup to Mandurah. There’s no separate fee added for outer suburbs.
How fast can someone come and look at the car?
Same-day is common for suburbs close to Bassendean (Midland, Forrestfield, Bayswater, etc.). For further suburbs like Mandurah or Joondalup, next-day is more typical, though same-day isn’t unusual if our driver’s already heading that way.
Do I need to be home when the car is collected?
Someone needs to be present to sign off and hand over the keys/paperwork, but it doesn’t have to be the registered owner if you’ve arranged that with us beforehand.
