We buy cars all over Armidale

Armidale is a university city on the New England Tablelands. Plenty of people pass through it: students and staff at UNE, teachers and health workers on postings, and families from farms around Uralla, Guyra and Walcha. Selling privately up here can be slow. There are fewer buyers than on the coast, and the next serious one might be in Tamworth. Meanwhile you are answering messages, dodging payment scams and meeting strangers for test drives.

We can buy your car instead. We buy cars in Armidale and in Invergowrie, Kellys Plains, Dangarsleigh and Arding, and out to Uralla, Guyra, Walcha, Bundarra and Ebor. 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.

The cars we buy in Armidale

Winters are cold, the drives out of town are long, and plenty of it is on country roads. That is why so many people in New England drive utes and 4WDs. We buy your Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger or Isuzu D-MAX, and any other late-model ute off the farm or the job. In town, students and families tend to drive small cars and SUVs, so we also buy the Toyota Corolla, the Toyota RAV4 and other family SUVs.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. If yours is older or has done more, send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Selling a car in Armidale without the hassle

Ask for a free valuation and you get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate. Accept it and we pay a deposit, often the same day. The inspection happens after you accept, at a time and place that suits you, whether that is a driveway in town or a property out along the Waterfall Way. The balance is paid into your bank account, and we arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared. No fees come out of the offer. See how it works for every step.

Paperwork in New South Wales

When you sell your car to us, you lodge a free notice of disposal with Service NSW, straight after the sale and within 14 days. You can do it online with a MyServiceNSW Account or on the paper form. Enter our dealer licence number, MD 077404, and Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd in place of a buyer’s licence. We prepare the sale paperwork and make sure your notice is done correctly, so you are not held responsible for fines after the sale.

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.

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

Selling a car in New South Wales

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
Transport for NSW, through Service NSW
Transfer of ownership
In NSW the seller lodges a free notice of disposal with Service NSW within 14 days of the sale, and Service NSW says to do it immediately after you sell. You can lodge it online with a MyServiceNSW Account or on the paper form. When you sell to us, you enter our motor dealer licence number (MD 077404) and business name, Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd, in place of a buyer's licence. We prepare the sale paperwork and make sure your notice of disposal is done correctly, so you are not held responsible for parking or driving fines after the sale.
Roadworthy certificate
Usually nothing to book. Service NSW says you will not need a pink slip (safety inspection report) to transfer a current NSW registration. Pink slips are a yearly check at rego renewal for most light vehicles more than 5 years old, counted from the compliance plate date. If the rego expired more than 3 months ago, the car needs a blue slip (AUVIS inspection) before it can be registered again. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.
Good to know
In NSW the buyer pays the transfer fee and any stamp duty, so neither comes out of your offer when you sell to us. Your CTP green slip moves to the new owner automatically with the registration. On the day the car goes, take out your e-tag and delete the plate from your toll account. Want to keep personalised plates? Swap them for general plates before the sale.

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.

Selling your car in Armidale: your questions

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

1800 73 55 73
Do you buy cars in Uralla, Guyra and Walcha?

Yes. We buy cars in Armidale itself and in Invergowrie, Kellys Plains and Arding, and out to Uralla, Guyra, Walcha, Bundarra and Ebor. Tell us where the car is on the call. The inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, and we arrange collection once your funds have cleared.

How does collection work from Armidale?

You do not have to drive the car to Tamworth or the coast. We make a genuine offer by phone, and once you accept we pay a deposit, often the same day. The inspection happens at your home, property or work at a time that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account, and we arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

Do I need a pink slip to sell my car in Armidale?

Usually there is nothing to book. Service NSW says you will not need a pink slip, the safety inspection report, to transfer a current NSW registration. Pink slips are a yearly check at rego renewal for most light vehicles more than 5 years old, counted from the compliance plate date. If the rego expired more than 3 months ago, the car needs a blue slip (AUVIS inspection) before it can be registered again. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.

I am finishing at UNE and leaving Armidale. Can I sell my car before I go?

Yes. Call us once you know your moving date, so the sale fits around your plans and the money clears before the car goes. If you still owe money on the car, we deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity.

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.
