We buy cars all over Lismore

We can buy your car anywhere in Lismore, from Goonellabah and Lismore Heights to Girards Hill, East Lismore and Chilcotts Grass. We buy across the Northern Rivers too, including Alstonville, Wollongbar, Casino, Kyogle, Nimbin and Evans Head. We are a licensed NSW motor dealer (MD 077404, Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd) buying cars Australia-wide, and the business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992.

Closer to the coast or the border? We also buy cars in Ballina, Tweed Heads and Grafton.

The cars we buy in Lismore

The Northern Rivers mixes farming country with hilly back roads and a daily run to the coast. Macadamia, dairy and cattle properties keep utes like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger busy. Families heading to Ballina or Byron Bay tend to drive a Toyota RAV4, a Kia Sportage or something roomier like a Kia Carnival. Whatever you drive, sell your car to us. We buy utes and SUVs as well as everyday cars.

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

Selling a car in Lismore without the hassle

Lismore is a long way from the big car markets. Sydney is the best part of a day’s drive, and Brisbane is a few hours north. Selling privately means listings, strangers at your door and messages offering to pay in odd ways. Scams aimed at private sellers are common, and you often find out a payment is fake only after the car has gone.

Sell your car to us instead. Call 1800 73 55 73 or ask for a free valuation. We make a genuine offer by phone. If you accept, we pay a deposit, often the same day, then 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 under finance? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity. See selling a car under finance.

Paperwork in New South Wales

The seller lodges a free notice of disposal with Service NSW within 14 days, and Service NSW says to do it immediately after you sell. You can do it online with a MyServiceNSW Account or on the paper form. When we buy your car, you enter MD 077404 and Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd in place of a buyer’s licence. We prepare the sale paperwork and make sure the notice is done correctly. There is more in selling a car in NSW and selling a car in Australia.

We buy these cars in Lismore, 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 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.

They helped me through the transaction of a high value car and made it very pleasant. From paperwork and working with the lenders, to a personal touch.

Selling your car in Lismore: your questions

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

1800 73 55 73

Do you buy cars in Goonellabah, Alstonville and Casino?

Yes. We buy cars all over Lismore, including Goonellabah, Lismore Heights, Girards Hill and South Lismore. We also buy across the Northern Rivers, from Alstonville and Wollongbar to Casino, Kyogle, Nimbin and Evans Head. Once you accept our offer, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you.

How does collection work from Lismore?

There is no need to drive the car to the coast or the city. We make a genuine offer by phone and pay a deposit once you accept. We inspect the car at a time and place that suits you, then pay the balance into your bank account. We arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

Can I lodge the notice of disposal online?

Yes. 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 Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd in place of a buyer's licence. We make sure your notice is done correctly, so you are not held responsible for parking or driving fines after the sale.

Can I sell my car to you if it still has finance on it?

Yes. Tell us who the lender is on the call. We deal with your lender directly to pay out the loan, and we pay you any equity left over. If you owe more than the car is worth, talk it through with us before you decide, so you know exactly where you stand.

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.
