Cars we sell
Where the gap between trade and retail is widest.
Every car has a spread between what a dealer will pay and what it sells for at retail. On some vehicles that spread is a few hundred dollars. On these, it is often thousands.
No statutory warranty
Dealers price statutory warranty risk into every trade offer, and on luxury and European cars it can run to thousands. We sell your car on consignment for you, and in Queensland that sale carries no statutory warranty. So that discount never comes out of your price. How it works
We work with cars of any value, cheap or dear. Do not see your car? It does not mean we cannot sell it, send it to us anyway.
Ute
Australia's most traded vehicles, and the ones dealers are most confident of retailing quickly and profitably.
Sell a Toyota HiLux
The HiLux is the most traded and most retailed vehicle in the country, which cuts both ways.
FordSell a Ford Ranger
The Ranger has spent years trading blows with the HiLux for the top of the sales charts, and the next-generation model has a strong following of its own.
IsuzuSell an Isuzu D-MAX
The D-MAX has built a reputation on mechanical simplicity and a long warranty, and it attracts a buyer who has usually done their research.
MazdaSell a Mazda BT-50
The current BT-50 shares its mechanical package with the D-MAX but tends to sell to a buyer who wants the ute to double as a family car.
VolkswagenSell a Volkswagen Amarok
The Amarok attracts a buyer who wants a ute that drives like a car, and the V6 in particular has a loyal following willing to pay for the right example..
NissanSell a Nissan Navara
The Navara has a strong following among buyers who tow and tour, and the later models addressed most of the criticisms of the early coil-sprung cars..
MitsubishiSell a Mitsubishi Triton
The Triton sells on value, and its long factory warranty gives used buyers unusual confidence, provided the servicing has been kept up to the letter..
Four wheel drive
Large numbers mean large spreads. A percentage gap on a four wheel drive is a lot of money.
Sell a Toyota LandCruiser
LandCruisers hold value better than almost anything else on Australian roads, and the private market knows it.
ToyotaSell a Toyota LandCruiser Prado
The Prado is the family four wheel drive of choice across Queensland, bought as much for the school run and the annual trip north as for serious off-roading.
FordSell a Ford Everest
The Everest has grown into a genuine Prado alternative, and the current generation in particular has strong private demand from families who tow..
SUV
High retail turnover makes these easy for a dealer to value and easy for them to profit from.
Sell a Toyota RAV4
The RAV4 Hybrid has had waiting lists measured in months, and that has kept used values unusually firm.
MazdaSell a Mazda CX-5
The CX-5 is one of the most consistently retailed used SUVs in Australia.
ToyotaSell a Toyota Kluger
Seven-seat family SUVs with Toyota reliability and a hybrid drivetrain sit in a very small group, and the Kluger is at the front of it..
SubaruSell a Subaru Outback
The Outback has a genuinely loyal buyer base who cross-shop almost nothing else, which is exactly the situation where a private sale outperforms a trade..
European
The category where trade offers disappoint most often, because wholesale desks price in worst-case reconditioning risk.
Sell a BMW
European cars are where trade offers are most often disappointing.
Mercedes-BenzSell a Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz values are strongly driven by specification and condition, and the private market rewards both far more precisely than a wholesale valuation ever will..
AudiSell an Audi
Audi buyers at retail are usually well informed and specification-driven, and they will pay a premium for the right combination of quattro drivetrain, options and history..
Electric
Where trade valuations and retail reality diverge most sharply, because wholesale caution is not shared by informed private buyers.
