Skip the weeks of waiting for a local buyer
A private listing in a country town reaches a small pool of buyers, so it can sit for weeks, and the serious ones are often hours away. You still have to field the scammers and lowball offers, and make sure a bank transfer is genuine before you hand over the keys. The nearest dealer for your make might be an hour down the highway, and they are the same people selling you the next car.
We are a licensed motor dealer in Waterloo, and the business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. We make the offer over the phone, and once you accept we pay a deposit, often the same day. The inspection happens where the car is, whether that is a driveway in Port Macquarie, a work yard in Dubbo or a property outside Wagga Wagga, and our transport partner collects it only after the balance has cleared. For regional addresses we confirm the pickup day on the call.
What we buy in regional NSW
For many regional sellers that means a dual-cab ute like a HiLux, Ranger, D-MAX or BT-50, or a family SUV like a RAV4 or CX-5. We are just as keen on European and prestige models from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Porsche. See what we look for in utes and 4WDs, SUVs and prestige cars.
Rego run out? That is usually fine, and the questions below explain why. Closer to the city? See selling your car in Sydney.
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 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
- Transfer of ownership
- When a car changes hands in NSW, Transport for NSW must be told within 14 days, and the transaction goes through Service NSW. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork and help with the transfer, so the car comes off your name properly and later tolls, fines or demerit points are not sent to you.
- Roadworthy certificate
- Usually not needed. NSW has no roadworthy certificate for selling a car, and you usually do not need any inspection report to sell to a licensed dealer. The pink slip (eSafety check) is for renewing registration on cars more than five years old, and the blue slip is for putting a car back on the register, so neither is part of the sale. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.
- Good to know
- In NSW the buyer pays the stamp duty and transfer fee, so neither comes out of your offer when you sell to us. Registration and the CTP green slip stay with the car, and there is usually no need to visit a Service NSW centre.
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.

What sellers say
Real sellers, quoted in their own words.
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.
“I was paid before Autohaus took possession of my car, which from my experience normally doesn’t happen.”
Spiros Mercedes-Benz SLK 250 “No haggling, or dealerships trying to get a lower price. In less than 3 business days I had an inspection completed, my car sold, with funds cleared in my bank account.”

Selling your car in regional NSW: your questions
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
1800 73 55 73Do you buy cars in regional NSW, or only in Sydney?
Right across the state. Our office is in Waterloo, in inner Sydney, but we buy cars from the Hunter, the Central Coast, the Illawarra and the South Coast, the Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers, New England, the Central West and the Riverina, and further out too. We make the offer over the phone, so you never need to drive the car to us.
How does the inspection work if I live hours from Sydney?
After you accept our offer and the deposit is paid, we arrange an inspection at a time and place that suits you, usually your home or work. Once the balance has cleared in your account, our transport partner collects the car. If you cannot be there on the day, key drop-off can be arranged.
Do I need a pink slip or roadworthy to sell my car in NSW?
Usually not. NSW has no roadworthy certificate for selling a car, and you usually do not need one to sell to a licensed dealer. A pink slip (eSafety check) is only needed to renew registration on cars more than five years old, so there is normally nothing to book before you sell to us. We confirm what applies to your car on the call.
Can I sell my car if the registration has run out?
Usually, yes. An unregistered car can still be sold in NSW, as long as you own it and any finance is paid out as part of the sale, which we arrange with your lender. You do not need to renew the rego just to sell the car to us. Mention it when you send the details, and we confirm on the call how the inspection and collection will work.
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.
Other places we buy cars
Same process, same offer, wherever you are, the ACT and NT included. We arrange collection from your home or work.
