Selling a car in Adelaide
Adelaide is a smaller market than Sydney or Melbourne, so private listings sit around longer and buyers expect to haggle hard — especially on older cars, which South Australia has plenty of. The upside for sellers is that SA is one of the easiest states to sell in: no roadworthy certificate is required for a private sale, and the whole transfer runs through Service SA's EzyReg online. We handle the paperwork with you on the spot, buy cars with finance owing, damage or no rego, and cover every corner of metro Adelaide from the northern suburbs to the Hills — so you skip the wait without taking a wrecker's price.

Selling a car in South Australia: what you need to know
- South Australia does not require a roadworthy certificate to sell a registered car privately — vehicles can be sold as-is (unless the car has an outstanding defect notice, which must be cleared first).
- As the seller, you must lodge a free Notice of Disposal with Service SA within 14 days of the sale — you can do it online via EzyReg or a mySA GOV account.
- Registration stays with the vehicle in SA, and the buyer has 14 days to transfer it into their name and pay stamp duty and the transfer fee (a late-transfer fee applies after that).
- To hand over the car, complete and sign the transfer section on the back of the vehicle's registration details certificate and give it to the buyer.
- A Notice of Disposal doesn't transfer the rego by itself, but it protects you from fines, tolls and expiation notices the new owner racks up after the sale.

Selling a car in Adelaide — your questions answered
Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car in Adelaide?
No. South Australia is one of the few states where a private sale doesn't require a roadworthy or safety inspection — you can sell the car as-is. The only exception is a vehicle with an outstanding defect notice, which must pass inspection before transfer.
What paperwork do I need to sell a car in SA?
You'll need your vehicle's registration details certificate (you sign the transfer section on the back) and photo ID, then lodge a free Notice of Disposal with Service SA within 14 days. When we buy your car, we sort all of this with you at pickup.
Can I sell an unregistered car in Adelaide?
Yes. We buy unregistered cars across metro Adelaide and tow them for free — you don't need to re-register the car or arrange an unregistered vehicle permit to sell it to us.
Do you buy cars in Adelaide's outer suburbs and the Hills?
Yes — free pickup covers all of metro Adelaide, from Elizabeth and Gawler in the north to Morphett Vale, Seaford and Aldinga in the south, plus Adelaide Hills towns like Mount Barker and Stirling.
My car still has finance owing — can I sell it?
Yes. We check the PPSR, pay out the lender directly and transfer the balance to you on the same day, so the loan is cleared cleanly as part of the sale.
How fast can I get paid compared with selling privately in Adelaide?
Private listings in Adelaide's smaller market often take weeks to sell, especially older cars. With us you get an instant offer online and same-day payment by bank transfer once we've inspected the car at pickup.
