Sold my car through Carma yesterday and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the first call to the handover, the entire process took just a couple of hours. They were fast, efficient and friendly, made everything incredibly easy, valued the car very fairly and even organised the finance payout for me. Thanks Carma.

I recently sold my car through Carma and the experience was absolutely seamless and hassle-free. As a first time seller, the staff are very transparent and helpful and even booked an Uber for me. I highly recommend Carma to anyone looking to sell their car with zero stress.

Our experience with Carma was fantastic, we submitted an online inquiry on Sunday and we seamlessly sold the car within 2 days. The service from the team was outstanding as they kept us up to date along the way. Carma is the only way to go when selling a vehicle.

Highly Recommend! The ease with dealing with Carma was above and beyond. I completed an online enquiry to sell my car and had a call from Adrian. He was super helpful!

Overall best and easiest experience I... Read more about Alicia D review

A very very good experience. A good valuation for my Corolla. One stop shop for receiving payment, and most importantly, free from shonkiness. 5 Stars to the crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I sell my car quickly in Australia?

The fastest way to sell your car is to skip the private market and use a professional buyer like Carma. By using our car valuation tool, you can sell your car much faster compared to weeks of waiting for a private buyer.

How much is my car worth?

Your car valuation depends on a few factors: the make, model, year, odometer reading, condition and current market demand. At Carma, we provide a price based on live market data to ensure you get a fair, competitive offer that reflects what the car is worth today.

What documents do I need to sell my car?

To sell your car, you’ll generally need:

  • Your current driver’s License
  • The car’s registration papers
  • Service history/logbooks
  • All sets of keys and the original manual
  • If there is still finance on the car, you'll also need a payout letter from your lender
  • Proof of ownership, this can be the original invoice / bill of sale, or two consecutive years of rego papers, proving more than 12 months ownership.
How long does it take to sell my car?

At Carma, completing the online valuation takes less than 10 minutes. Once you book an appointment, that physical appointment takes about an hour. If you’re happy to proceed, the sale is finalised on the spot.

Can I sell my car if it still has finance owing?

Yes! This is a common concern for people looking to sell. Carma can help settle your existing finance. We will pay the remaining balance to your finance company and pay the "equity" (the difference between our offer and your payout) directly to you.

How do I get paid when I sell my car?

We use secure electronic funds transfers (EFT). In most cases, the money arrives in your bank account almost instantly.

Can I sell my car online?

Absolutely. You can start the process to sell a car online by completing our valuation form online above. While we do need to see the car in person to verify its condition, most of the process is handled digitally for your convenience.

What types of cars can I sell?

We buy a wide range of makes and models, if your car is well-maintained and ready for its next owner, we want to hear from you!

Sell your car the simple, fair way

Have you ever thought “how can I sell my car without the usual headaches?” You aren’t alone. For most Aussies, the traditional path to selling a car is paved with frustration. From the "tyre-kickers" and "low-ballers" of private marketplaces to the high-pressure tactics of traditional dealerships, the process is usually anything but simple.

At Carma, we’ve flipped the script. We believe that when you’re ready to sell your car, you deserve transparency, a fair price based on live market data, and a process so simple you’ll never want to sell a car any other way ever again.

No dodgy test drives by strangers. No endless waiting. Just a straightforward way to sell your car and get on with your life.

The private sale problem: why it’s time for a change

We’ve all been there. You list your car online, hoping for a quick win, only to be met with:

  • The time-wasters: people who message "is this still available?" and then disappear into the void.
  • The low-ballers: offers that are frankly insulting, sent before they’ve even seen the car.
  • The safety risk: Inviting strangers to your home for test drives isn’t just awkward, it’s a security concern.
  • The paperwork maze: Chasing RWC (Roadworthy Certificates), dealing with PPSR checks, and worrying if the bank transfer will actually clear.

When you choose to sell your car to Carma, you bypass the drama. We’re a digital-first dealership built on the idea that buying and selling cars should be as easy as any other online transaction.

How to sell my car in 3 simple steps

We don’t believe in making you jump through hoops. Our process is designed to be completed from your couch, your office, or your local cafe.

1. Get a fast car valuation

Enter your registration and a few basic details into our online form. We use live market data to provide a competitive offer. Unlike other sites that give you a "vague estimate," our offers are based on what cars like yours are actually selling for in the current Australian market.

2. Book an appointment

If you like the price, we’ll arrange an appointment at one of our convenient Sell To Carma Centres located across Greater Sydney. We’ll do a final check to confirm the condition of the car. No haggling, no stress.

3. Fast, secure payment

At the end of the appointment and the deal is signed, we trigger the payment immediately. You’ll see the funds in your account within a few minutes. It’s the safest way to sell a used car in Australia.

Why Carma is the preferred way to sell

Real prices based by real live data

We don’t pluck numbers out of thin air. Our valuation engine taps into thousands of data points across the Australian used car market. This ensures your trade-in value or cash offer is fair, reflective of current demand, and completely transparent.

Total convenience

Whether you want to sell a car online or prefer a face-to-face interaction, we cater to you. Our goal is to save you the 20+ hours usually spent cleaning, photographing, listing, and showing a car to private buyers.

Trusted by experts

Carma isn't just another startup; we’re a homegrown Australian success story and backed by the NRMA. Our commitment to quality is why we’ve built a reputation for excellence. We handle the paperwork, the transfer of registration, and the logistics so you don’t have to.

Ready to see what your car is worth?

Stop wondering "how do I sell my car?" and start the process with Australia’s most transparent used-car dealership. No low-ball offers, no weekend time-wasters, just a fair price and a fast, secure payment.
