We buy cars in Mount Isa. No long drive to the coast.

We buy cars all over Mount Isa

Mount Isa is a long way from anywhere, and Townsville is about 900 km east. There are fewer local buyers, and the nearest big dealer yards are a long way off. We can buy your car without you leaving town. Whether you live in Soldiers Hill, The Gap, Parkside or Healy, or out at Cloncurry or Camooweal, sell your car to us and we work around you.

We are a licensed motor dealer (MD 077404) buying cars Australia-wide, run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. You get a genuine offer over the phone, not an online estimate. Start with a free valuation and see how it works.

The cars we buy in Mount Isa

Mine country runs on utes and 4WDs. The heat, the red dust and the corrugated roads out to stations and mine sites mean most people here drive something tough. We buy late-model Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-MAX utes, and any other ute or SUV in good condition. Bull bars, long-range tanks, canopies, beacons and UHF radios are common here, so tell us what is fitted and what has come off.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. North West kilometres pile up fast. If yours has gone past that, send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Selling a car in Mount Isa without the hassle

A private sale in a town this size means a small pool of buyers. The ones you do find may want to haggle hard or pay in a way you cannot easily check. Driving to Townsville to trade in is a very long round trip.

When you sell your car to us, you skip all that. After you accept, a deposit is often paid the same day, and 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 owe money on it? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity. Heading overseas when your contract ends? Read about selling before you move overseas.

We also buy cars in Townsville, Cairns and Emerald.

Paperwork in Queensland

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

Queensland’s version of a roadworthy is the safety certificate, and a private buyer of a registered car is owed a current one. TMR exempts cars traded to licensed motor dealers, so that private-sale rule usually does not apply when you sell to us. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.
