Frequently Asked Questions
How can Skip the Dealer beat my trade-in price?
We can offer more than your dealer trade-in because:
-
We buy directly – no middlemen or wholesaler mark-ups.
-
Lower overheads – we’re a streamlined online service, not a high-cost showroom.
-
Market-based pricing – we use live market data to value your car fairly.
-
Fast turnover – we purchase quickly, reducing holding costs.
Dealers often rely on undervaluing your car so they can make a margin when reselling. We focus on giving you a better deal upfront, without the usual dealership tactics.
You can learn more about how our process works and compare it with what your dealer might offer. For more information on how trade-ins work, you can visit the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for guidance on car sales and valuations.
How quickly can I sell my car with Skip the Dealer?
With us, speed is part of the deal:
-
Instant valuation – once you submit details via our sell my car page, we assess your car immediately.
-
Offer in hours – most customers receive an official offer the same day.
-
Payment within 24h – once you accept, we pay directly into your account.
Dealers may take days or weeks to finalise trade-ins, especially if they need to move inventory first. Our streamlined system means you can go from quote to cash in as little as one day.
If you’re ready to sell now, start your valuation here. You can also check the Service NSW guidelines for steps after selling a vehicle.
Can I sell my car if I still have finance on it?
Yes, you can. Here’s how it works with Skip the Dealer:
-
We request your payout figure from your finance provider.
-
We settle your loan directly with the lender.
-
We pay you the balance once the loan is cleared.
Example:
| Loan Balance | Offer Price | Amount Paid to You |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $15,500 | $5,500 |
This makes the process simple and stress-free, so you don’t have to handle the finance payout yourself.
You can get started with a free car valuation to see how much you could get. The Moneysmart.gov.au website also has useful tips on paying off car loans.
What types of cars do you buy?
We buy a wide range of vehicles, including:
-
Sedans, SUVs, 4WDs, hatchbacks
-
Utes and vans
-
Luxury and performance vehicles
-
Fleet and company cars
-
Cars with finance (we’ll handle the payout)
We purchase cars Australia-wide, regardless of make or model, as long as they meet basic roadworthy standards.
To check if your car qualifies, visit our cash for cars page. For more guidance on selling registered vehicles, refer to your state’s transport authority, such as VicRoads or Transport for NSW.
Do I need to prepare my car before selling?
Preparing your car can help ensure a smoother sale:
-
Remove personal items – check glove box, boot, and under seats.
-
Basic clean – a quick vacuum and wash can make a big difference.
-
Gather documents – registration papers, service history, finance details (if applicable).
-
Check for accessories – spare keys, manuals, and tools.
While we buy cars in all conditions, following these steps helps avoid delays and ensures the process is quick.
Do you buy company or fleet vehicles?
Yes. We purchase single company cars as well as fleet vehicles from businesses across NSW. Our service includes competitive offers, bulk purchases, and efficient paperwork management.
