What Is the Fastest Way to Sell My Car in Melbourne?
The fastest way is usually to sell straight to a licensed car buyer who comes to you. There is no advertising, no roadworthy certificate to organise and no waiting on strangers to turn up. A private sale can bring a higher price on some cars, but it normally takes more time and effort.
Here is how the main options compare for most Melbourne sellers.
For a longer look at each path, read our guide on the four ways to sell a car in Melbourne.
How to Sell Your Car to Us in 4 Steps
1. Send Your Car Details
Call Steve or fill in the form with the make, model, year, kilometres and condition. Photos help but they are optional.
2. We Inspect at Your Place
We come to your home, your work or another spot that suits you, anywhere in Melbourne and across Victoria.
3. Get a Firm Offer
We look over the car and give you a firm figure. There is no obligation to accept it.
4. Get Paid on the Spot
If you are happy, we pay you by cash, bank transfer or bank cheque and take care of the paperwork.
What Do I Need to Sell My Car in Victoria?
You need proof that the car is yours to sell and the things that go with it. Because we are a licensed motor car trader, you do not need a roadworthy certificate to sell to us. Have these ready and the sale goes quickly.
- Your driver licence
- The registration details for the car
- All keys
- Finance details, if money is still owing
- Service books, if you have them
Our guide to selling a car in Victoria covers the paperwork in more detail. The official rules are on the VicRoads website.
How We Work Out Your Offer
Your offer is based on what the car is and what shape it is in. We usually pay between $500 and $30,000, and more for higher value cars. These are the things that move the figure up or down.
- Make and model. Some cars are simply in higher demand than others.
- Year and kilometres. Newer cars with lower kilometres are generally worth more.
- Condition. Mechanical health, body damage and the state of the interior all count.
- Registration. A registered car is usually worth more than an unregistered one, but we buy both.
- Demand. What buyers are looking for right now affects what we can pay.
Tell us about any faults up front. It means the figure we discuss on the phone is far more likely to match the offer on the day.
Can I Sell My Car Today?
Often, yes. If you contact us during opening hours and have your licence and registration details ready, we can usually inspect the car and pay you the same day. We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm and Saturday 9am to 6pm. We are closed on Sunday.
If today does not suit, pick a time that does and we will work around you.
Selling a Car With Finance, Damage or No Registration
Cars Still Under Finance
Money owing does not stop the sale. We buy cars under finance, pay out the lender and pay you any balance. See how we handle it on our sell a car with finance page. Our guide explains how a finance payout works.
Damaged or Not Running
We buy cars in any condition, including ones that have been in an accident, have engine trouble or will not start. Our damaged car page explains how these cars are valued. If the car has reached the end of its life, see our old car removal service.
Unregistered Cars
An expired registration is fine. We buy unregistered cars and collect them with no pickup fee.
What Melbourne Sellers Say About Victorian Car Buyers
Sell My Car FAQs
Do I need to clean or repair my car before selling it?
No. We buy cars as they are, in any condition. Spending money on repairs or detailing rarely changes our offer enough to be worth it, so you can leave the car exactly as it is.
Do you come to me, or do I bring the car to you?
We come to you. Our base is in Delahey in Melbourne’s north west, and we travel across Melbourne and Victoria to inspect and collect cars. There is no pickup fee.
Is there any obligation once I get an offer?
No. The quote and the inspection carry no obligation. If the figure does not suit you, you simply keep your car.
Who handles the paperwork?
We do. We look after the transfer paperwork so you are not left chasing forms afterwards. You just need your licence and the registration details.
Can I sell my car on a Saturday?
Yes. We are open Saturday from 9am to 6pm, as well as Monday to Friday from 9am to 9pm. We are closed on Sunday.
