If you're weighing up the wider city, our car buyers Brisbane page covers our full coverage area and the same Kedron-based process.
Selling a car in Fortitude Valley is straightforward with us. We purchase sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, utes, 4WDs and vans, across petrol, diesel and hybrid. Beyond the everyday trade-ins, we also regularly take on:
Cars with finance still owing. We settle directly with your lender, with the balance paid to you
Hail-damaged or storm-affected vehicles
High-kilometre cars within our standard criteria
Non-running vehicles, assessed on a case-by-case basis
Selling an EV instead? Our Tesla resale value Australia page runs through how battery health and current demand factor into the figure.
Your driver's licence, the vehicle's registration papers, and your bank account details. If there's finance outstanding, bring the payout letter so our car buyers in Fortitude Valley can fold it into the assessment.
Once the sale's finalised, you're required to lodge a Notice of Disposal with Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). This removes your liability for the vehicle from the date of sale. We'll handle the buyer-side transfer paperwork.
Any remaining registration carries over to the new owner on a monthly basis. Worth calling your CTP insurer on the day of sale to arrange a refund for the unused portion.
Curious what your car's worth before you make the trip? Once it's in front of us at the office, our team can talk you through current used car values and what's driving demand right now.
Bring it to a licensed car-buying service like We Buy Cars. Submit your details, our team gets in touch, you drive to our Kedron office for an inspection, and your offer's confirmed on the spot. No listing to write, no strangers turning up at your building, no safety certificate to organise.
A private sale can occasionally edge ahead on paper, but factor in safety certificate costs, the hassle of arranging a meeting spot in a busy inner-city suburb, and the risk of a buyer pulling out at the last minute.

No. As a licensed Queensland motor dealer, we don't require an RWC when you sell to us.

Once you accept your offer at the inspection, payment is processed via Osko or EFT.
In most cases, yes, non-running vehicles are assessed individually. Submit your details, and our team will follow up to discuss what's possible.
Your driver's licence, registration papers and bank account details. If there's finance owing, bring the payout letter from your lender.
