There’s no legal “minimum” car trade-in value in Perth (or anywhere in Australia); it’s whatever a dealer reckons they can resell, minus their margin.

Get multiple valuations, bring full service history, fix cheap cosmetic niggles, and grab a written offer from an instant-buy wholesaler to anchor negotiations.
If the numbers still look grim, a private sale on Tradingpost can fetch more than a lowball trade-in—just plan for photos, rego details, and test-drive logistics.
