You do not have to live in the city to get cash for cars in regional Victoria. Victorian Car Buyers is a licensed motor car trader (LMCT 12395) based in Delahey that buys cars for cash across Melbourne and Victoria. Our name says where we work. We travel anywhere in the state to buy a car, and regional trips are arranged by phone and booked for a set time.
The first step is a call to Steve on 0455 776 443. You can also send the details through the form and we will ring you back to arrange a time.
Towns We Cover in Regional Victoria
Regional sellers contact us from every direction. We buy cars in the larger centres and in the smaller towns around them, including:
Geelong, Torquay, Colac, Warrnambool, Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Gisborne, Kyneton, Bendigo, Echuca, Shepparton, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Horsham, Mildura, Traralgon, Morwell, Moe, Sale and Bairnsdale.
Farms and rural properties are fine too. Let us know about access, such as gates, unsealed roads or a car parked in a shed or paddock, so we can bring the right vehicle.
How Pickup Works in Regional Victoria
Regional purchases start on the phone. A long drive only makes sense if both sides already agree on roughly what the car is worth, so we ask for more detail up front than we would for a car around the corner.
- Call first. Tell us the make, model, year, kilometres, registration status and any faults.
- Send photos. Clear pictures of the outside, the interior and any damage let us give a realistic figure before anyone travels.
- Book a time. We agree on a day and time that suits you and confirm it before we leave.
- Inspection and payment. We check the car against what was described, confirm the offer and pay you by cash, bank transfer or bank cheque.
- Collection. The car goes with us. There is no pickup fee, including for cars that have to be trucked.
Our office hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 9pm and Saturday 9am to 6pm, and we are closed on Sunday. Phone within those hours to set up a regional visit.
What We Buy in the Country
Country cars work hard. Utes, 4WDs and dual cabs with high kilometres are common, along with farm vehicles, paddock bashers that have not been registered for years and the family car that was retired when a newer one arrived. We also buy cars damaged by hail, kangaroo strikes and rough roads. A roadworthy certificate is not required when you sell to us. If a lender is still owed money on the car, that amount is paid to them out of the sale. We normally pay from $500 to $30,000, and above that for higher value cars.
Getting the Paperwork Right Outside Melbourne
The rules for selling a car are the same across Victoria. Have your driver licence, the registration details and the keys ready, plus a payout letter if the car is financed. We take care of the transfer paperwork on the day. For the official requirements, see VicRoads, and for a plain summary read how to sell a car in Victoria.
Abandoned or Unwanted Car Rules in Your Council
Every Victorian council has local laws about unregistered or abandoned vehicles left on roads and public land, and regional shires are no different. Notice periods, impound fees and disposal rules are set by each council, so look up the local laws page for your own shire or city, or phone the council office. If a notice has been placed on your car, see what to do next.
What Our Customers Say
Selling a Car in Regional Victoria: Common Questions
Is there a town that is too far for you?
We travel anywhere in Victoria to buy a car. For the longest trips we will talk through the car in detail first so the visit is worthwhile for both of us.
Can you buy a farm ute that has never left the property?
Yes. Unregistered and off road vehicles are bought and collected by truck.
Do regional sellers get a lower price?
The price is based on the car itself: make, model, year, kilometres, condition and demand.
Can I do most of it by phone before you arrive?
Yes. The description, the photos and the price discussion all happen before the trip, which keeps the visit itself short.
