Where's the best place to sell a commercial truck in Australia?
Traditional heavy vehicle auctions and classified sites reach some buyers, but GOT ONE? connects you directly with verified buyers who post exactly the truck they need — including body type, payload and GVM — before you spend money on advertising.
Do I need a heavy vehicle inspection before selling?
Not legally required in most states, but a current roadworthiness certificate from a heavy vehicle inspector significantly increases buyer confidence and reduces price negotiation. Budget $300–$600 for the inspection.
