How to sell an Excavator in Gold Coast
Get an undercarriage assessment
A dealer or independent assessment documents track pad thickness, sprocket wear and idler condition. This is the first thing a buyer's mechanic will check.
Degrease and inspect the machine
Clean the engine bay, check for hydraulic leaks and ensure all cylinders seal correctly at full extension. Active leaks are an immediate red flag.
List all attachments with condition notes
Quick hitch, standard bucket, rock bucket, tilt bucket, breaker, auger — each has independent resale value. List each with its condition.
Post to civil buyers on GOT ONE?
