Find a used car

We list used cars for sale from well over 2,200 car yards and tens of thousands of private sellers. We try to make searching for a car on carsales.com.au as easy as possible. Use our powerful search engine to sort through our listings and track down the vehicle you want. Get photos and full pages of information (instead of just a few lines) on each used car. In many cases you'll find up to five photos of dealer used cars and up to nine photos of private used cars. All designed to make it easier for you to find the car of your dreams, or the car in your price range.

If you find a dealer car that suits you, please try our enquiry service. We will take your details and immediately pass it to the dealer who is selling the car. We will also email the dealer's details to you so that you have a record of your enquiry.

If you find a private car that suits you, we invite you to call the advertiser directly or else use our enquiry service to get in touch with the seller via email.

If you can't find a car that suits you, please try our "Auto Alert" service. It will email you when a car that matches your requirements is listed on our service. You can set up Auto Alerts for both dealer cars and private seller cars. 

Find a new car

We list virtually all new cars offered for sale. Most have several colour photos and detailed information on mechanical, safety and comfort features. There are over 2,000 different models of new cars offered for sale in Australia, including all the variations in each model line-up. Our massive database allows you to research all of them in the comfort of your home or office.

When you are ready to buy, please use our enquiry service. We'll pass your details to the nearest member dealer who will help you with a quote or test drive or enquiry of any kind. 

Special offers

We invite car dealers to advertise their special offers on new cars, used cars and other services that they offer. We also search across Australia to find manufacturer special offers, limited editions, runout deals, finance offers and similar. We list all the good specials in one convenient location. You can subscribe to our newsletters and auto alerts, which will regularly send you emails with details of the special offers available in your state. 

Sell your car privately

carsales.com.au offers two levels of private advertising; standard ads for only $60* and premium ads for $90*. Both ads stay on the site until your car is sold with no more to pay. You can choose to pay by credit card, BPay, or by cheque/postal order.

*A $5 handling fee applies if you choose the cheque or postal order payment methods.

A standard ad provides you with one photo on your summary ad and up to 9 photos on your large detailed ad. A premium ad includes an attention grabbing display, 3 photos in your summary ad and up to 15 photos in your larger ad, and is given priority listing. You can edit or change both types of ads as often as you wish and get statistics on how many people have viewed them. As well as appearing on carsales.com.au, your ad will also appear on our partner sites, which include www.racv.com.au and www.redbook.com.au.
