We buy cars in Palmerston. No test drives with strangers.

We buy cars all over Palmerston

Palmerston is a city of young families, newer homes and long commutes into Darwin, about 20 km up the Stuart Highway. Plenty of households run two cars, and plenty move on when a job or posting ends. Whatever the reason, we can buy your car without you leaving the driveway. We buy cars in Driver, Gray, Moulden, Woodroffe and Gunn, in the newer estates at Zuccoli, Johnston and Bellamack, and out in the rural area at Howard Springs, Coolalinga and Humpty Doo.

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 by phone, not an online estimate. Start with a free valuation or see how it works.

The cars we buy in Palmerston

School runs and sport in the heat mean big, air-conditioned family cars. We buy people movers like the Kia Carnival and SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson. Weekends here are for the boat ramp and the barra, so a dual-cab with a towbar is common too. We buy late-model Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger utes and other 4WDs. Tell us about the canopy, the bar work and anything else fitted.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Older, or more kilometres? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Selling a car in Palmerston without the hassle

A private sale means listings, messages and test drives squeezed around work and the weather. Scamwatch has warned that car-ad scammers often pose as defence personnel about to deploy. With Robertson Barracks next door, that story can sound normal here. When you sell your car to us, you skip the strangers and the payment stories.

After you accept, a deposit is often paid the same day. We inspect the car at a time and place that suits you, and the balance goes into your bank account. The car is collected only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Still paying it off? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity. See selling a car under finance.

We also buy cars in Darwin and Katherine.

Paperwork in the Northern Territory

There is no online form in the NT. You and the buyer sign a notice of disposal with the engine number, VIN, rego number, sale date and the sale price or market value. You send it to MVR within 14 days by email, mail or in person. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer and make sure your notice of disposal is done correctly.

A light vehicle 7 years old or older needs a roadworthy inspection on transfer, and so does one unregistered for 12 months or more. A 2021 or newer car is under that age in 2026, so a roadworthy usually is not needed when you sell to us. We confirm what applies on the call.
