Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get paid for the vehicle?
Payment is usually made by secure bank transfer after the offer, inspection and paperwork are confirmed. If another payment method is required, speak with the Skip The Dealer team before handover so the safest option can be arranged.
What paperwork and proof of ownership do i need?
You will usually need a valid photo ID, registration details or proof of ownership, and bank details for payment. If the vehicle is under finance or owned by a company, extra documents such as a payout letter or authority to sell may be required.
How long does the car selling process take?
The process can often be completed within 24 to 48 hours, depending on vehicle details, inspection availability, finance payout requirements and paperwork. The team will confirm the next steps once your vehicle information is reviewed.
Can I sell my car if it still has finance owing?
Yes. If your vehicle has finance owing, Skip The Dealer can help coordinate the payout process with your lender. If the offer is higher than the payout, the remaining balance is paid to you. If the payout is higher, you will need to cover the shortfall before transfer.
Can I sell a vehicle on behalf of someone else?
Yes, but you need permission from the registered owner. The team will usually require the owner’s ID, proof of ownership and written authorisation before the sale can proceed.
Can I sell a vehicle registered under a company or business?
Yes. For company-owned vehicles, you may need proof that you are authorised to sell the vehicle, business details such as the ABN, registration documents and a tax invoice or sale authorisation where required.
How do I notify the road authority after selling my vehicle?
The required disposal or transfer step depends on the state or territory where the vehicle is registered. Skip The Dealer can guide you through the relevant paperwork so the sale is recorded correctly.
Can I keep my personalised plates?
In many cases, yes. The process depends on your state or territory. Tell the team before pickup if you want to keep personalised plates so the correct steps can be confirmed before handover.

I had an amazing experience with Skip the Dealer. From the very first call with Daniel, the whole process was simple, professional and stress-free. They quickly assessed my photos and arranged a follow-up inspection without any unnecessary delays.
Mark was an absolute top guy. He was honest, transparent and clearly understands electric vehicles, especially Teslas. The inspection was fair, the assessment was prompt and the payment was made very quickly.
Cassie also made the online paperwork incredibly easy and completed everything promptly.
If you are planning to trade in or sell your Tesla, I strongly recommend speaking with Mark and his team before handing your car over to a dealer. The entire process was smooth, transparent and much easier than I expected.
