How to sell a Car in Australia
Gather your paperwork
Collect the service logbook, registration papers, PPSR report and any warranty documents. Buyers pay more for a complete history.
Set a realistic asking price
Check recent sold listings for your make and model on RedBook and private sale sites. Price 5–10% above your minimum to allow for negotiation.
Post your car on GOT ONE?
Create a buyer request or respond to existing requests from verified buyers looking for your exact model. Your listing reaches buyers already hunting for what you have.
Handle enquiries professionally
Respond quickly, provide full information and arrange inspections at safe, public locations. Pre-purchase mechanical inspections are a buyer's right — welcome them.
Complete the transfer
Sign a transfer of registration form, complete payment via bank transfer or bank cheque, and notify your state's transport authority within the required timeframe.
What separates a fast sale from a long wait
- Post the exact make, model, year and odometer so buyers know immediately if it matches
- Include a full service history — it can add thousands to perceived value
- Be upfront about any known mechanical issues; it builds trust and avoids disputes
- State your asking price or minimum acceptable offer to filter serious enquiries
