We buy cars all over Albany

Albany is around 420 km from Perth down Albany Highway. A private sale here means a small pool of local buyers, listings that sit while the right person turns up, and the usual scam messages in between. Strangers still want test drives around Middleton Beach, and you still have to be sure a payment is genuine before you hand over the keys.

It is easier to sell your car to us. We are a licensed NSW motor dealer (MD 077404) buying cars Australia-wide, and the business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. We buy your car wherever it is, whether that is a driveway in Spencer Park, a block in Lower King or a farm outside Kendenup. Start with a free valuation. You get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate, and a deposit is often paid the same day.

The cars we buy in Albany

The Great Southern is farm country. Sheep, grain and timber keep utes busy on gravel roads from Manypeaks to Narrikup. We can buy your car if it is a Toyota HiLux or Ford Ranger, and we buy other utes and 4WDs of any make, tray backs and canopies included.

In town, it is family SUVs and sensible hatches. A Toyota RAV4 does the school run in McKail and Bayonet Head. A Toyota Corolla does the shopping in Centennial Park. We buy those, along with seven-seaters and European SUVs.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Coastal air around Emu Point and Middleton Beach is hard on paint and underbodies, so mention any rust on the call. Older or higher kilometres? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Selling a car in Albany without the hassle

After you accept, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account, and the car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Still under finance? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity.

Buying your next car from a local yard? Compare the trade-in first, and read why people sell their car instead of trading in. We also buy cars in Bunbury and Busselton, and right across Western Australia.

Paperwork in Western Australia

When you sell, you must notify the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI) within 7 days. Do it online through DoTDirect or with the MR9 Notification of Change of Ownership form. That is half the time most states give, so do it the day you sell.

A WA vehicle licence cannot be transferred to someone who is not a WA resident. We are a NSW business, so when you sell your car to us the licence usually can’t move with it. We prepare the sale paperwork, explain the WA steps before pickup and make sure your side is done correctly.

Our guide to selling a car in WA has the detail, and selling a car in Australia covers the national picture. Call 1800 73 55 73 or fill in the form, and we can buy your car without the drive.

What we are buying right now

Cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs of any make, 2021 or newer, with 100,000 km or less. Finance owing is fine. Older or higher-km car? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

We buy these cars in Albany, and more

Any make is welcome. These are the models we are asked about most, each with what buyers look for.

Selling a car in Western Australia

The practical side, so nothing catches you out. Rules change from time to time, so we confirm what applies to your car on the call.

Registration authority: Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI)
Transfer of ownership: In WA, the seller must notify DTMI within 7 days of the sale, online through DoTDirect or with the MR9 Notification of Change of Ownership form. That is half the time most states give, so do it the day you sell. A WA vehicle licence cannot be transferred to someone who is not a WA resident, and we are a NSW business, so when you sell to us the licence usually can't move with the car. We prepare the sale paperwork, explain the WA steps before pickup and make sure your side is done correctly.
Roadworthy certificate: Usually not. Consumer Protection WA says private sellers are not legally required to do a roadworthiness check on a car they sell, and selling to a licensed dealer usually needs nothing extra. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.
Good to know: Registration is called the vehicle licence in WA. When the buyer is interstate, DTMI's process is to return the plates to a DTMI service centre or regional agent before the sale and sell the car unlicensed. DTMI only considers a refund of the licence time left if the plates go back before the sale, so we talk you through the timing on the call. No fees are taken out of our offer.

What to have ready

Photo ID
Registration papers
Service logbook and receipts for any recent work
Loan details, if the car is under finance
Bank account details for your payment

We prepare the sale paperwork and help with the transfer of ownership, so you do not have to chase forms.

I put my faith in the transaction going through while away on holidays and to his word Dean was honest, transparent and came through without any issues.

Selling your car in Albany: your questions

Straight answers. If yours is not here, call us and ask.

1800 73 55 73

Do you buy cars in Bayonet Head, Spencer Park and Little Grove?

Yes. We buy cars right across Albany, from Spencer Park, Yakamia and McKail to Bayonet Head, Lower King, Little Grove and Goode Beach. We also buy in Denmark, Mount Barker, Kendenup and the rest of the Great Southern.

How does collection work from Albany?

When you accept our offer, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, at home, at work or out on the farm. The balance is paid into your bank account. Once you confirm the funds have cleared, we arrange collection, so you never have to drive the car up Albany Highway.

Do I need a roadworthy to sell my car in Albany?

Usually not. Consumer Protection WA says private sellers are not legally required to do a roadworthiness check on a car they sell, and selling to a licensed dealer usually needs nothing extra. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.

I am moving away from Albany. Can I sell before I go?

Yes. Selling before you move saves driving or shipping the car, and the inspection can fit around packing up. In WA you must notify DTMI within 7 days of the sale, so do it the day you sell, before the move takes over. Call early and we can line the sale up with your plans.

What cars are you buying right now?

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs built in 2021 or later with 100,000 km or less. Any make is welcome, and we have strong demand for European and prestige models, dual-cab utes and family SUVs. If your car sits just outside that, send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away whether we can help.

When do I get paid?

Once we agree on a price, we can often pay a deposit the same day. After an inspection, the balance is paid into your bank account by bank transfer. The car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared, so you are never left without the car and without the money.

Can I sell my car if I still owe money on it?

Yes. We deal with your lender directly to pay out the loan, then pay you any equity left over. Cars under finance usually take 2 to 3 business days to settle. If you owe more than the car is worth, the difference has to be covered before settlement, and we show you the numbers before you decide.
