Valuation Factors
What determines your Car's value?
The value of a car in Australia depends on these key factors. Understanding each one helps you price confidently and justify your asking price to buyers.
- Make, model and year of manufacture
- Odometer reading — buyers pay a premium for sub-100k km
- Service history and number of previous owners
- Condition: paint, interior, mechanical
- Accident or insurance history (PPSR check)
- Options and factory extras fitted
What Adds Value
Factors that push your Car's price higher
- Odometer: every 10,000 km above average typically reduces value by 3–8%
- Service history: a complete log can add $2,000–$5,000 over cars without one
- Condition rating: excellent condition cars fetch up to 15% more than fair condition
- Market demand: popular models (SUVs, dual-cab utes) attract more buyers and higher prices
- Registration and RWC status affect net proceeds

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Car values
What is a Car worth in Australia?
Car values in Australia typically range from $8,000 – $120,000 depending on make, model and year of manufacture and odometer reading — buyers pay a premium for sub-100k km. The best way to understand current market value is to see what verified buyers are actively offering on GOT ONE?
How long does it take to sell a car privately in Australia?
On traditional platforms, 4–8 weeks is typical. On a buyer-first marketplace like GOT ONE?, serious buyers post exactly what they want — so sellers respond to warm leads rather than cold enquiries.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car?
Requirements vary by state. Victoria requires the seller to provide a current Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) for all private sales. Queensland requires a current Safety Certificate before the buyer can transfer registration. NSW and SA do not require one for private sales — the buyer takes the vehicle as is. Always check your state's transport authority for current rules before completing any transfer.
