The cars we buy in Ballarat
Ballarat winters are cold, foggy and often wet, so plenty of families here choose an SUV with all-wheel drive for the school run and the freeway. We buy late-model SUVs of every make, from the Mazda CX-5 to the Hyundai Tucson.
The farms around Learmonth, Smythes Creek and Skipton keep utes busy, and so does the building work in the growth suburbs. We buy utes and 4WDs like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, with or without the tray, toolboxes and towbar.
We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Over that? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.
Selling a car in Ballarat without the hassle
A private sale means a listing, scam messages, lowball offers and strangers turning up for test drives on cold evenings. On a private sale of a registered car in Victoria, you also have to give the buyer a roadworthy certificate less than 30 days old. A trade-in is quicker, but you are negotiating with the dealer who is selling you the next car.
When you sell your car to us, the order is clear. We make an offer on the call and pay a deposit, often the same day. We inspect the car at a time and place that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account, and we arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Finance owing? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity. No fees are taken out of the offer. See how it works.
Paperwork in Victoria
You let VicRoads know within 14 days of the sale, most easily through the notice of disposal in myVicRoads. VicRoads then emails to confirm the car is out of your name, and you keep a copy of the transfer form. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer and make sure your notice to VicRoads is done correctly.
A roadworthy is usually not needed when you sell to us, because VicRoads’ transfer rules do not require one when a private owner sells to a dealer. We hold a NSW dealer licence, so we confirm what applies to your car on the call. See our guides to selling a car in Victoria and selling a car in Australia, then call 1800 73 55 73 and sell your car to us.
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.

Selling a car in Victoria
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
- VicRoads
- Transfer of ownership
- In Victoria you let VicRoads know within 14 days of the sale, most easily by completing the notice of disposal in myVicRoads, and VicRoads emails to confirm the car is out of your name. Keep a copy of the transfer form. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer and make sure your notice to VicRoads is done correctly.
- Roadworthy certificate
- Usually not when you sell to us. On a private sale of a registered car in Victoria, the seller has to give the buyer a roadworthy certificate (RWC) less than 30 days old. VicRoads' transfer rules do not require one when a private owner sells to a dealer. We hold a NSW dealer licence, so we confirm what applies to your Victorian car on the call.
- Good to know
- In Victoria the new owner pays the transfer fee and any motor vehicle duty, so neither comes out of your sale, and we take no fees out of our offer. Cancel any rego direct debit before the sale. If you want to keep custom plates, remove them and transfer or store them before the sale, otherwise the buyer is presumed to take the plate rights with the car.
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.

Within 10 minutes of my enquiry I was contacted by Dean. It all happened in less than an hour from the initial enquiry. I had a deposit in my bank account that night.
“Dean communicated with me at every stage, from the preliminary enquiry to getting the vehicle inspected to the settlement and organising pick up.”

Selling your car in Ballarat: your questions
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
1800 73 55 73Do you buy cars in Sebastopol, Alfredton and Lucas?
Yes. We buy cars in every part of Ballarat, from Sebastopol, Delacombe and Redan to Alfredton, Lucas and Wendouree, and east to Mount Clear, Mount Helen and Buninyong. We also buy cars in the towns around Ballarat, including Creswick, Clunes, Daylesford and Ballan. We are a licensed dealer buying cars Australia-wide, so wherever you are, we can buy your car.
How does collection work from Ballarat?
Once you accept our offer, we pay a deposit, often the same day, and inspect the car at a time and place that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account. We arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared, so the car stays with you until you are paid.
How do I tell VicRoads I have sold the car?
In Victoria you let VicRoads know within 14 days of the sale, most easily by completing the notice of disposal in myVicRoads. VicRoads emails to confirm the car is out of your name. Keep a copy of the transfer form. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer and make sure your notice to VicRoads is done correctly.
Can you buy a ute off a farm outside Ballarat?
Yes. We buy farm and work utes from properties right around the district, whether that is near Learmonth, Smythes Creek or Skipton. The inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, which can be the shed or the house yard. Tell us on the call what is fitted, such as a tray, toolboxes, a towbar or a bull bar, so we make an offer on the ute you actually have.
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.
