How Fast Can I Sell My Car Instantly?
You get a price as soon as Steve sees your photos, usually while you are still on the phone. From there, nine out of ten sales are finished on the same day: we come to you, check the car and pay you on the spot.
How Our Instant Car Offer Works
1. Send Details and Photos
Make, model, year, kilometres and four to six clear photos of the outside, the inside and the odometer.
2. Get a Firm Offer Straight Away
Steve looks at the photos and gives you a firm figure. It is a real price, not a range.
3. We Inspect and Pay on the Spot
We come to you, confirm the car matches the photos, and pay you by cash, bank transfer or bank cheque before it leaves.
Instant Offer vs Online Estimate
Many online tools give you a price range based on the model and kilometres alone. The final figure is set later at an inspection, and it often lands lower than the estimate suggested.
Our offer is made by a person looking at photos of your actual car. When we inspect, the price stays the same unless there is a major fault that was not mentioned. If you are comparing platforms, our guide to the pros and cons of Carsales Instant Offer is worth a read.
What We Need to Give You an Instant Offer
- Make, model and year
- Kilometres on the odometer
- Registration status
- Any known faults or damage
- Four to six photos: front, back, both sides, interior and odometer
- Finance details if money is still owing
How to Take Photos That Get a Firmer Price
Good photos are what make an instant offer possible. A few minutes with your phone is all it takes.
- Shoot in daylight and step back far enough to fit the whole car in each side shot.
- Take one photo of the dashboard with the car running, so the odometer and any warning lights show.
- Photograph any dents, scratches, rust or windscreen chips up close. Showing them now is what keeps the price the same at inspection.
- Include the seats, the boot and the tyres if you can.
- No need to wash or detail the car first. We price the car, not the shine.
If something mechanical is not right, such as a noisy gearbox or a warning light, mention it in your message. A major fault that is declared up front is simply part of the price. It only changes the offer if we find it at inspection and it was not mentioned.
Do I Have to Accept the Instant Offer?
No. There is no obligation at any point. If you want time to think it over, tell Steve and he will let you know how long he can hold the figure for your car.
Can I Get Paid Instantly Too?
Yes. Once the inspection is done you are paid on the spot by cash, bank transfer or bank cheque, before the car leaves. This guide covers the safest way to get paid for your car.

Instant Car Offer FAQs
Is the instant offer free?
Yes. Getting a price costs nothing and there is no obligation to accept it. If the number does not suit you, you keep your car.
Will the price drop when you see the car?
No, not unless there is a major fault that was not mentioned. If the photos and description match the car, the price you were given is the price you are paid.
Can I get an instant offer for a damaged car?
Yes. Send photos of the damage along with the rest of the car and we will price it the same way. More on selling a damaged car.
Do I have to decide straight away?
No. Take the time you need. If you want to think it over, tell Steve and he will let you know how long he can hold the figure.
