We buy cars all over Frankston

From Frankston South and Karingal to Seaford and Langwarrin, we buy cars right across the Frankston area. We are a licensed motor dealer (NSW MD 077404, Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd) buying cars Australia-wide. The business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992.

Call 1800 73 55 73 or fill in the form and you get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate. Accept it and we pay a deposit, often the same day. We inspect the car at a time and place that suits you, from a driveway in Mount Eliza to a work car park in Carrum Downs. The balance goes into your bank account, and the car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Every step is laid out in how it works.

The cars we buy in Frankston

Frankston sits where the bayside suburbs meet the Peninsula. Tradies run utes out of the industrial estates in Carrum Downs and Seaford. Families in Langwarrin, Sandhurst and Skye drive SUVs and people movers. Plenty of locals tow a boat or a camper down Peninsula Link on the weekend.

We can buy your car whatever the make. That includes work utes like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, family cars like the Toyota RAV4 and Kia Carnival, and European and prestige models. See what we look for in utes and 4WDs and SUVs.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Older or higher kilometres? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Selling a car in Frankston without the hassle

A private sale in Frankston means a listing, messages that go nowhere and strangers wanting a test drive, then making sure a payment is genuine. Trading in is quicker, but you negotiate with the people selling you the next car. Compare the two in selling instead of trading in.

When you sell your car to us, the valuation is free, there is no obligation and no fees come out of the offer. Still paying it off? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity, as explained in selling a car under finance. We also buy cars up the road in Dandenong and right down the Mornington Peninsula.

Paperwork in Victoria

In Victoria you let VicRoads know within 14 days of the sale. The easiest way is 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.

On a private sale of a registered car, 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 car on the call. Our guide to selling a car in Victoria has the detail, and selling a car in Australia compares every state.

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 Frankston, 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 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.

Selling your car in Frankston: your questions

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

1800 73 55 73

Do you buy cars in Seaford, Carrum Downs and Langwarrin?

Yes. We buy cars across Frankston and the suburbs around it, including Seaford, Carrum Downs, Langwarrin, Karingal, Frankston South, Skye, Mount Eliza and Patterson Lakes. Call 1800 73 55 73 or fill in the form and you get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate.

How does collection work from Frankston?

Once you accept our offer, we inspect the car at a time and place that suits you, such as your home or work. The balance is paid into your bank account, and we arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared. There is no need to drive the car to a dealer.

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

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.

My car lives near the beach and tows a boat. Does that matter?

We still want to hear about it. Cars parked near the bay or used to launch a boat can pick up salt and sand, so tell us on the call about any marks, stone chips or surface rust, and what is fitted, such as a towbar. A clear description helps us make an offer on the car 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.
