We buy cars all over the Northern Beaches

From Manly and Freshwater to Dee Why, Collaroy, Mona Vale and Avalon Beach, we can buy your car. We are a licensed NSW motor dealer, MD 077404 (Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd), buying cars Australia-wide. The business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992.

Selling privately on the Beaches takes time you probably do not have. You photograph the car, answer messages, field lowball offers and wait for strangers who may not turn up. Then you have to be sure the payment is real before you hand over the keys. When you sell your car to us, you skip all of that. You get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate, and no fees are taken out of it. Start with a free valuation or read how it works.

The cars we buy on the Beaches

You see plenty of prestige and European cars on the Beaches, along with family SUVs carrying boards, bikes and kids along the Wakehurst Parkway. We buy the Audi Q5, the Mercedes-Benz GLC and the BMW 3 Series, along with other prestige cars. We also buy the Toyota RAV4, the seven-seaters that do the school run and every other kind of SUV.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 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.

Selling a car on the Beaches without the hassle

Getting off the peninsula can take a while, so we do not ask you to go anywhere. Once you accept our offer, we pay a deposit, often the same day. The inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, whether that is your driveway in Narrabeen or a car park in Brookvale. The balance is paid into your bank account, and the car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

Still paying the car off? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity. Sell your car to us and there is one buyer, one offer and one set of paperwork.

Paperwork in New South Wales

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 straight after you sell. You can lodge it online with a MyServiceNSW Account or on the paper form. Selling to us, you enter our dealer licence number, MD 077404, and our business name, Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd, where a buyer’s licence would go. We prepare the sale paperwork and make sure your notice is done correctly, so you are not held responsible for parking or driving fines after the sale.

Our guide to selling a car in NSW has the detail, and selling a car in Australia covers the bigger picture. We also buy cars across the Hills District and over Broken Bay on the Central Coast.

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 Northern Beaches, 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.

I had tried to sell it privately for some weeks but was only contacted by scammers and ridiculous offers. Dean offered me a fair price.

Selling your car in Northern Beaches: your questions

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

1800 73 55 73

Do you buy cars in Manly, Dee Why, Mona Vale and Avalon?

Yes. We buy cars right across the Northern Beaches, from Manly, Balgowlah and Seaforth to Dee Why, Collaroy and Narrabeen, and up to Mona Vale, Newport, Avalon Beach and Palm Beach. We also buy in Frenchs Forest, Belrose and Terrey Hills. After you accept our offer, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you.

How does collection work from the Northern Beaches?

You do not need to drive anywhere. Once you accept our offer, we pay a deposit, often the same day, and inspect the car at a time and place that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account. We arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

Do I need a pink slip to sell my car on the Northern Beaches?

Usually there is 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.

I am moving overseas. Can I sell my car to you before I leave the Beaches?

Yes. Call us early and tell us when you fly. We make a genuine offer by phone, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, and the balance is paid into your bank account before we collect. If the car is under finance, we deal with your lender directly. Our guide to [selling your car before moving overseas](/sell-my-car-before-moving-overseas/) covers the rest.

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.
