We buy cars all over Warrnambool

If you want to sell your car in Warrnambool, we can buy it. We buy cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs in Warrnambool, Dennington, Allansford, Bushfield and Woodford. We also buy along the coast from Port Fairy and Koroit to Peterborough and Port Campbell, and inland in Terang, Mortlake, Camperdown and Cobden.

We are a licensed motor dealer (MD 077404) that buys cars Australia-wide. The business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992. You get a genuine offer by phone, not an online estimate, and once you accept we pay a deposit, often the same day. Our page on how it works explains each step.

The cars we buy in the South West

This is dairy country, and plenty of vehicles here work for a living. There are farm utes around Cobden, Timboon and Terang, trade utes in Warrnambool’s newer estates, and tow vehicles for boats at Port Fairy and caravans on the Great Ocean Road. We buy late-model utes and 4WDs of any make, from the Toyota HiLux to the Isuzu D-MAX. See what we look for in utes and 4WDs.

Family SUVs suit the long drives to Geelong, Ballarat and Melbourne, and we buy those too, including the Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage. We are buying 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Older, or more kilometres on the clock? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Coastal cars and private sales

Cars that live near the beach at Port Fairy or Peterborough see salt air and sand. Tell us honestly about any marks or rust on the call, so the offer matches the car you have.

Selling privately in Warrnambool means a listing, scam messages and buyers who may want to drive down from Geelong or Ballarat first. In Victoria you also have to give a private buyer a roadworthy certificate less than 30 days old. Trading in is quicker, but you are negotiating with the dealer selling you the next car. Read why people sell to us instead of trading in.

When you sell your car to us, the inspection happens after you accept, 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. If there is finance owing, we deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity. Our page on selling a car under finance explains how.

Paperwork in Victoria

In Victoria you let VicRoads know within 14 days of the sale, most easily through the notice of disposal in myVicRoads. VicRoads emails to confirm the car is out of your name, and you keep a copy of the transfer form. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer and make sure your notice to VicRoads is done correctly. Our guides to selling a car in Victoria and selling a car in Australia cover the rest.

Heading inland or over the border? We also buy cars in Ballarat and Mount Gambier. Call 1800 73 55 73 and sell your car to us.

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 Victoria

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
VicRoads
Transfer of ownership
In Victoria you let VicRoads know within 14 days of the sale, most easily by completing the notice of disposal in myVicRoads, and VicRoads emails to confirm the car is out of your name. Keep a copy of the transfer form. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork, help with the transfer and make sure your notice to VicRoads is done correctly.
Roadworthy certificate
Usually not when you sell to us. On a private sale of a registered car in Victoria, the seller has to give the buyer a roadworthy certificate (RWC) less than 30 days old. VicRoads' transfer rules do not require one when a private owner sells to a dealer. We hold a NSW dealer licence, so we confirm what applies to your Victorian car on the call.
Good to know
In Victoria the new owner pays the transfer fee and any motor vehicle duty, so neither comes out of your sale, and we take no fees out of our offer. Cancel any rego direct debit before the sale. If you want to keep custom plates, remove them and transfer or store them before the sale, otherwise the buyer is presumed to take the plate rights with the car.

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.

Selling your car in Warrnambool: your questions

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

1800 73 55 73
Do you buy cars in Port Fairy, Koroit and Allansford?

Yes. We buy cars, utes, SUVs and 4WDs in Warrnambool and the towns around it, including Port Fairy, Koroit, Allansford, Terang, Camperdown and Cobden. We are a licensed dealer buying cars Australia-wide, so wherever you are in the South West, we can buy your car.

How does collection work from Warrnambool?

Once you accept our offer, the inspection happens at a time and place that suits you, whether that is home in Dennington or a dairy farm near Timboon. The balance is paid into your bank account. We arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared.

Do I need an RWC to sell my car to you?

Usually not when you sell to us. On a private sale of a registered car in Victoria, the seller has to give the buyer a roadworthy certificate (RWC) less than 30 days old. VicRoads' transfer rules do not require one when a private owner sells to a dealer. We hold a NSW dealer licence, so we confirm what applies to your Victorian car on the call.

My car lives by the beach. Will you still buy it?

Yes. Cars kept near the water at Port Fairy, Peterborough or Port Campbell see salt air and sand, and we buy them. Tell us honestly about any rust, stone chips or paint marks on the call. That way the offer matches the car you have, and the inspection simply confirms it.

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.

We can buy your car in Warrnambool

Free and no obligation. If your car is 2021 or newer, with 100,000 km or less, we want to hear about it.
