What a car is actually worth in Brisbane
Four things move the number: the make and model, the year and kilometres, the condition, and what the parts and metal are currently worth. A tidy runner with rego is valued on what it will resell for. A write-off or non-runner is valued on its salvageable parts and weight. Either way you get one figure that already includes pickup, so nothing is deducted later. If you would rather sanity-check the offer against the market first, do — there is no obligation attached to it.
The cars we pay cash for
Sedans, hatches, SUVs, wagons, utes, vans, 4x4s and light trucks. Running or not, registered or long expired, roadworthy or written off. High-kilometre cars nobody wants to buy privately, hail-damaged and accident-damaged vehicles, mechanical failures that cost more to fix than the car is worth, and cars that have simply been sitting under a tarp for a few years. If you are unsure whether yours qualifies, send the details anyway — quotes are free.
How and when you get the money
By bank transfer, on the spot, before the car is loaded. You watch the transfer leave our account while we are still standing there with you. We do not take a vehicle first and settle up afterwards, and we do not deduct a towing fee, an admin fee or a fuel levy from the agreed figure. What you accepted in writing is what arrives in your account.
Paperwork for a Queensland sale
Bring photo ID and proof that the car is yours — usually the Queensland registration papers, a purchase receipt or another ownership record that identifies the vehicle. Safety-certificate and registration steps depend on whether the car is registered and how the sale is processed. Unregistered vehicles can be sold without a safety certificate, but Queensland still requires a signed paper trail. Tell us the registration status when you request a quote and we will confirm what needs to be ready before pickup.
Local and accountable
Know who you are selling your car to.
Carbase is based in Brisbane and serves the Brisbane City Council area only. It is operated by Emir Group (ABN 62 351 619 456), so the business name, service boundary and contact details are clear before you share your vehicle information.
