What Our Customers Say
"Had a fantastic experience with Skip the Dealer and Mark and Ethan. Price was great, they were very easy to deal with and very helpful. Ethan was so friendly and even called us an Uber to get to our next destination (thanks Ethan!). Deal was better than a trade in and having the cash gave me more negotiating power on my next purchase. It was so much easier than selling it myself too. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great experience!"
Penny A, Manly
"Amazing service! 100% recommend. Made selling my car super stress free and offered a fair price for my car. Staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. Will definitely use them again. Thank you Skip the Dealer!"
Shirley Girgis, Sydney CBD
"The team at Skip the Dealer was nothing but professional every step of the way. They arranged an inspection same day, were fair in their offer, and we agreed a sale the following day. All paperwork was online, they osko paid a deposit and paid the balance prior to leaving with the car. An absolute pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend these guys. Donât trade in and get low ball offers, use Skip the Dealer! Fantastic"

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get paid when selling my car in Sydney?
Payment is usually made by secure bank transfer once the offer, inspection and paperwork are confirmed. If a different payment method is needed, contact the team before handover to confirm available options.
Do you buy electric or hybrid vehicles in Sydney?
Yes. Skip The Dealer can assess electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles in Sydney. The offer considers normal valuation factors as well as EV-specific details such as battery condition, range, service records and current local demand.
What documents do I need to sell my car in Sydney?
You will usually need photo ID, registration details or proof of ownership, and bank details for payment. If the car has finance owing, a current payout letter from your lender may also be required.
What suburbs in Sydney do you service?

You can submit vehicle details online in minutes. Depending on the vehicle, location, inspection availability and paperwork, the sale can often be completed within 24 to 48 hours.
How is final payment handled if my Sydney car has finance owing?
If your vehicle has finance owing, Skip The Dealer can coordinate with your lender using a current payout letter. The lender is paid first, and any remaining balance is transferred to you once the sale is finalised.
