Sell your car · Australia-wide
Sell my car, without the circus.
Start with your registration number. We value your car against the live wholesale market, bring offers from a national buyer network, and handle payout and paperwork.
1
Rego in, range out
Enter your registration and state and we identify the exact variant and build, then return an indicative market range straight away.
2
Buyers competing, not one offer
Your car goes to a national network of dealers and wholesale buyers, so the number reflects demand rather than one desk's appetite.
3
Finance payout handled
We obtain the payout figure, settle the loan directly and pay you the balance — including where the car is still encumbered.

Or roll it into a changeover
Selling and buying at once? We negotiate the two separately, then show you the single changeover figure that matters.
Selling privately means photographing the car, writing the ad, fielding lowball messages, holding inspections on a Saturday morning and then hoping the transfer of funds is real. It usually nets the most money, and it is the reason most people keep a car six months longer than they meant to. The alternative is normally worse: driving into a dealership where the person valuing your car is the same person selling you the next one. That is one number pretending to be two, and the trade-in is where the discount you negotiated quietly disappears. We separate them. Your car is valued against the wholesale market on its own merits, your next car is negotiated on its own price, and you can see both numbers side by side before you decide whether to change over at all.
Valuations are indicative until we have seen condition photos and a service history. Nothing is committed until you accept an offer.
Common questions
How do I sell my car quickly in Australia?
The fastest route is a wholesale or dealer offer against your registration number, which can be arranged in a day or two rather than the weeks a private sale takes. You give up some money versus a perfect private sale, and you avoid inspections, no-shows and payment risk.
How much is my car worth?
Value comes from make, model, variant, build date, kilometres, condition, service history and current wholesale demand for that exact car. Enter your registration and state and we return an indicative range from live market data, then confirm it once we see condition photos.
Is it better to trade in or sell privately?
A private sale usually nets more money but takes weeks and carries payment and warranty risk. A trade-in or wholesale sale is immediate and, where you are buying at the same time, can reduce the stamp duty payable on the new vehicle in some states. We quote both so you can see the real difference in dollars.
Can I sell a car that still has finance on it?
Yes. We obtain a payout figure from your financier, settle the loan directly from the sale proceeds and pay you any balance. If you owe more than the car is worth, the shortfall must be cleared before title transfers, and we will tell you that up front.
Do you buy cars in every state?
We work with a national buyer network covering all mainland states and Tasmania. Where the strongest offer is interstate, transport is factored into the number you are quoted, not added afterwards.
What does it cost to sell my car through you?
Nothing to get a valuation or an offer. You are free to decline it and sell privately, and nothing is committed until you accept.
