Selling a car on Carsales is about as wallet-friendly as a Woolworths self-checkout: mostly free, but watch out for the sneaky extras. Listing a standard private sale typically costs around $59 to $79 AUD for a 28-day ad, which can stretch to about $129 AUD if you want a 42-day exposure. For dealers, it’s a subscription model, but that’s a different beast altogether. If you’re feeling fancy, premium options like featured listings or bumping your ad to the top can set you back extra.
Used car prices vary, but selling fees on sites like Carsales are often dwarfed by the cost of keeping a car that’s not moving. For a rough reality check, check out listings and pricing on Carsales or ServiceCentral.
