It is licensed as City Motor Auction Group Pty Ltd (licence number 1505961). The business buys vehicles directly from owners rather than selling stock to the public, offering online valuations, an on-site inspection, and same-day payment, and says it has purchased fewer than 20,000 vehicles.

  • Same-day payment once an offer is accepted

  • Owners who don't want to arrange a roadworthy certificate

Worth knowing before you go
