Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Does the kilometre reading affect my car's value?

Yes, the kilometre reading will affect the offer; however, don’t worry if you think it has too many miles. We’re keen to look at cars in all conditions. From utes to SUVs, get in touch, and we’ll give you a quote with no obligation to accept. 

FAQ icon

Do I need to organise the registration transfer?

When you decide to sell your car with us, we handle all the paperwork. The only thing you need to organise yourself is to submit a notice of disposal.

FAQ icon

Do I need to arrange an inspection before selling my car?

We don’t need to inspect your vehicle in person when you sell to us; the entire selling process can be handled online. Looking to sell your car but don’t want to deal with in-person inspections? We’ve got the solution.

FAQ icon

Do I have to negotiate with a stranger when selling my car privately?

No, there is no need to engage in negotiation when you sell with us; unlike with a private sale, we submit our offers using current car market stats, and our offers are usually final.

FAQ icon

Can you buy my car if I still have finance owing?

You can sell your car today even if there is still finance owing. As required by regulation, you’ll need to ask your lender for an official written statement confirming the exact amount required to close your loan. If our purchase price is higher than the amount owing, we can work with a valid payout letter from your finance company, handle the finance payout and transfer the remaining funds to you. If the amount owing is the same as the purchase price, we can pay your finance company directly in exchange for the vehicle. For more information about the process, speak with our friendly team today.

FAQ icon

Can I trade-in my vehicle when I sell with you?

No, we aren’t a dealership, and we don’t offer vehicle trade-ins; we are simply car buyers. This makes us a good option for a seller who does not want to sell a vehicle with the pressure to purchase another one right away.
