We buy cars on the Sunshine Coast. Funds clear before pickup.

We buy cars all over the Sunshine Coast

We buy your car wherever it is on the Coast. That might be a unit in Mooloolaba, a family home in Sippy Downs or Baringa, a villa in Buderim or an acreage block out past Maleny or Eumundi. From Pelican Waters to Tewantin, you never have to drive the car anywhere.

We are a licensed motor dealer (NSW licence MD 077404, Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd) that buys cars right across Australia. The business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. You get a genuine offer by phone, and once you accept, we pay a deposit, often the same day. The inspection happens at a time and place that suits you. The balance goes into your bank account, and we collect the car only after you confirm the funds have cleared. That is how it works.

The cars we buy on the Sunshine Coast

Coast life runs on SUVs and utes. Families do the school run in a Toyota RAV4 or Kia Sportage. Tradies working the new estates around Baringa and Palmview drive a Toyota HiLux or Isuzu D-MAX. Plenty of people tow a caravan or a boat, and plenty of retirees have a second car sitting in the garage. We can buy your car in every case. See what we look for in utes and 4WDs and SUVs.

We are buying cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs from 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Older or higher kilometres? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help. Got a car that hardly leaves the garage? Read about selling a car you don’t use.

Selling a car on the Sunshine Coast without the hassle

A private sale here can drag on. You field scam messages and lowball offers, then wait at home for strangers who want a test drive along the Sunshine Motorway. A trade-in is quicker, but you are negotiating with the business selling you the next car.

Sell your car to us instead. A free valuation has no obligation, and no fees come out of the offer. Car under finance? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity.

We also buy cars to the south in Caboolture and Moreton Bay, and to the north in Gympie.

Paperwork in Queensland

In Queensland the seller starts the transfer. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) says that after you sell, you must transfer the registration within 14 days, and the seller pays no fee. The buyer pays the transfer fee and vehicle registration duty. Until the transfer goes through, you remain liable for tolls and fines on a car still in your name. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork and help with the transfer, so your part is done correctly.

A safety certificate is usually not needed. A private buyer of a registered car is owed a current one, but TMR exempts cars traded to licensed motor dealers, so the private-sale rule usually does not apply. We confirm what applies to your car on the call. Read our guides to selling a car in Queensland and selling a car in Australia for every step.
