Sell your car in Karratha

Step 1 of 3: your car

Your car

Free, no obligation Takes about a minute Paid before pickup

We buy cars all over Karratha

Karratha is more than 1,500 km north of Perth, and that distance shapes every private sale. The local market is small and turns over with every roster change, so a good ute can sit online for weeks while you field scam messages and lowball offers between swings.

Sell your car to us instead. We are a licensed NSW motor dealer (MD 077404) buying cars right across Australia, and the business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. We buy your car where it is, from Bulgarra and Millars Well to Dampier, Wickham and Roebourne. The offer is genuine and made by phone, not an online estimate. Accept it, and a deposit is often paid the same day. See how it works for every step.

The cars we buy in Karratha

The Pilbara runs on utes. Gas and iron ore crews, contractors and tradies run dual-cabs hard on the roads out to site. We can buy your car if it is a Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger or Isuzu D-MAX, and we buy every other kind of ute and 4WD too. Families in Baynton, Nickol and Mulataga drive big SUVs for weekends at Point Samson, and we buy those as well.

We are buying 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. Red dust, heat and sea air leave their mark, so mention any stone chips, windscreen damage or surface rust on the call.

Selling a car in Karratha without the hassle

Once you accept, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, around your roster if you work FIFO. The balance is paid into your bank account, and the car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

Does the car sit in the driveway while you are on swing? Read about how to sell a car you don’t use. Still paying it off? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity, so see selling a car under finance. We also buy cars in Port Hedland, Broome and Geraldton.

Paperwork in Western Australia

In WA, the seller must notify the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI) within 7 days of the sale. Do it online through DoTDirect or with the MR9 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. You usually do not need a roadworthy, and we confirm what applies to your car on the call.

Read our guide to selling a car in WA or the wider guide to selling a car in Australia. Then call 1800 73 55 73 or ask for a free valuation, and we can buy your car without you leaving Karratha.

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 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.

Selling your car in Karratha: your questions

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

1800 73 55 73
Do you buy cars in Baynton, Bulgarra and Nickol?

Yes. We buy cars all over Karratha, including Baynton, Bulgarra, Nickol, Millars Well, Pegs Creek and Mulataga. We also buy across the western Pilbara, from Dampier and the Burrup to Roebourne, Wickham and Point Samson, and inland to Pannawonica, Tom Price and Paraburdoo.

How does collection work from Karratha?

Once you accept our offer, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, at home, at work or between swings. The balance is paid into your bank account. After you confirm the funds have cleared, we arrange collection, so nobody has to drive the car down to Perth.

Can my WA vehicle licence go with the car when I sell to you?

Usually not. A WA vehicle licence cannot be transferred to someone who is not a WA resident, and we are a NSW business, so the licence usually can't move with the car. You still need to notify DTMI within 7 days of the sale, online through DoTDirect or with the MR9 form. We prepare the sale paperwork, explain the WA steps before pickup and make sure your side is done correctly.

I work FIFO or I am leaving Karratha. Can I sell before I go?

Yes. Tell us your roster or your moving date on the call and we will plan the sale around it. Once you accept, we book the inspection 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. If it is still under finance, 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.

We can buy your car in Karratha

Free and no obligation. If your car is 2021 or newer, with 100,000 km or less, we want to hear about it.
