We buy cars in Gladstone. Paid before we collect.

We buy cars all over Gladstone

Whether your car is parked in Kin Kora, Telina or South Gladstone, out at Boyne Island or Tannum Sands, or on a block near Calliope or Benaraby, we can buy your car. We are a licensed motor dealer (MD 077404) buying cars Australia-wide, and the business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992.

You get a genuine offer over the phone, not an online estimate, and a deposit is often paid the same day. Start with a free valuation, or read how it works first. There is no obligation and no fees taken out of the offer.

The cars we buy in Gladstone

Gladstone runs on industry. Shift workers at the alumina refineries, the smelter at Boyne Island, the port and the LNG plants on Curtis Island need tough vehicles, so dual-cab utes are everywhere. We buy late-model Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-MAX utes, plus any other ute or 4WD in good order. Families in Kirkwood and Glen Eden often run a mid-size SUV like the Toyota RAV4, and we buy those too.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Harbour air and dusty site roads add wear, so mention any salt or stone marks 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 Gladstone without the hassle

A private sale here can mean weeks of messages, test drives with strangers and buyers who haggle over every stone chip. You also have to be sure a payment is genuine before you hand over the keys. If the car is still on finance, most private buyers want it paid off first.

Sell your car to us and you skip all of that. After you accept, we inspect the car at a time and place that suits you. The balance goes into your bank account, and the car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Still paying it off? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity.

We also buy cars in Rockhampton and Bundaberg.

Paperwork in Queensland

In Queensland the seller starts the transfer. TMR says that once you sell, you must transfer the registration within 14 days, and there is no fee for the seller. The buyer pays the transfer fee and vehicle registration duty. Until the transfer goes through, you stay liable for tolls and fines on a car still registered in your name. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork and help with the transfer, so your part is done correctly.

A private buyer of a registered car is owed a current safety certificate, Queensland’s version of a roadworthy. TMR exempts cars traded to licensed motor dealers, so when you sell to a licensed dealer that private-sale rule usually does not apply. We confirm what applies to your car on the call. Our guide to selling a car in Queensland has the detail, and selling a car in Australia covers the basics everywhere.
