How much will I get for my car?

Every offer is based on the real market value of your vehicle, its condition, kilometres, and local demand. We pride ourselves on fair, transparent offers — no lowballing, no games. Most sellers receive between $3,000 and $150,000+ depending on the make, model, and condition.

How quickly can you buy my car?

Fast. Our quick online form takes about 3 minutes. Our team reviews your details and typically makes an offer within one business day. Once you accept, we come to your location — inspection and Osko payment happen in the same visit. No waiting weeks for a private buyer.

What types of cars do you buy?

We buy all makes and models — sedans, SUVs, utes, hatchbacks, wagons, and more. We buy vehicles under 12 years old and under 180,000 km across NSW, ACT and QLD.

Yes — that's our promise. We come to your home, workplace, or anywhere that suits you. No need to take time off or drive anywhere.

What if I have finance owing on my car?

No problem. We can assist with finance payout as part of the purchase. You'll need to request a current payout letter from your lender and provide it to us — we'll take care of the payout and pay you the balance via Osko.

What documents do I need?

You'll need your photo ID, the vehicle registration papers, and any service history you have. Our team will walk you through everything when we meet.

Is there a fee to use Sold Fast?

None at all. Our service is completely free for sellers. We make our money when we resell the car — you get a fast, hassle-free experience at zero cost.

What areas do you service?

We buy cars anywhere in NSW, ACT and QLD — as long as the vehicle is under 12 years old and under 180,000 km. Enter your postcode in the form and we'll confirm.

Do you buy cars with damage or mechanical issues?

Yes, in most cases. We buy cars in various conditions — just be upfront in the form so we can give you an accurate offer. Damage or issues will be factored into the price.

What is PPSR and do I need to worry about it?

PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register) is a national database that shows if a vehicle has been written off or has money owing. We run these checks as part of our process — you don't need to worry about it.

How does Sold Fast pay me?

We pay via Osko — Australia's real-time payment system. The money appears in your account within 60 seconds of the transfer. We send the payment before the vehicle leaves your property — you can verify receipt on your banking app while we're still there.

Can I sell a car that isn't in my name?

The vehicle must be in your name, or you must have legal authority to sell it — for example, as executor of an estate or with a signed Power of Attorney. Our team can guide you through the documentation needed for these situations.

Do you buy electric vehicles (EVs)?

Yes — we buy EVs including Tesla, BYD, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, MG ZS EV, and others. We'll ask for the battery health report and current state of charge. EV valuations take battery condition into account.

What happens after I submit the form?

Our team reviews your submission and contacts you — usually within a few hours on business days. We'll confirm any details, make an offer, and arrange a convenient time to come to you for a brief inspection and same-day payment.

Can you collect my car if it can't be driven?

Yes. If your vehicle has a mechanical issue that prevents it from being driven, let us know in the form and our team will discuss logistics. We can often arrange transport at no cost to you as part of the purchase.

Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell to Sold Fast?

No. Unlike a private sale, you don't need a roadworthy certificate (also called a Pink Slip in NSW) to sell your car to us. We're a licensed dealer and handle the roadworthy assessment as part of our process.

What is the oldest car you buy?

We buy vehicles manufactured in 2013 or later (up to 12 years old). Vehicles older than 12 years fall outside our standard buying criteria, though you're welcome to call us on 1300 370 380 to discuss.

Can I sell a car registered in another state?

Yes. We can purchase vehicles registered in NSW, QLD, ACT, VIC and SA. Interstate registration is handled as part of the transfer process.

What is an Osko payment?

Osko is Australia's real-time payment platform. Unlike a standard bank transfer (1–3 business days), Osko transfers arrive within 60 seconds, 24/7. Most major Australian banks support Osko — you'll see the money immediately.

Do you buy vans and commercial vehicles?

We primarily buy passenger vehicles — sedans, SUVs, hatchbacks, wagons, and utes. We assess light commercial vehicles (small vans) on a case-by-case basis. Complete the form and our team will confirm.

How do I know Sold Fast is legitimate?

Sold Fast operates under NSW Dealer Licence MD063192 and QLD Dealer Licence 4881629 — both verifiable with the respective state authorities. We're ABN-registered (14 169 488 386) and hold a 4.9-star Google rating from hundreds of verified customers.

What if the offer is lower than I expected?

We're always happy to discuss our offer. If you believe your car is worth more, let us know — and share any relevant evidence (recent Redbook valuation, Carsales comparable listings). We won't always be able to move, but we'll always be transparent about why.

Mazda Resale Values in Australia: What Your Mazda Is Worth

Name: Sold Fast
Address: 380 Parramatta Road, Burwood, NSW, 2134, AU
Telephone: 1300 370 380
Price range: $$
Rating: 4.9

Mazda is one of Australia's most reliable and popular brands — and resale values reflect that. This guide covers what key Mazda models are worth in today's market and what affects your Mazda's price.

Mazda's reputation for reliability and what it means for resale

Mazda has built a strong reputation for producing reliable, well-engineered vehicles at accessible price points. The brand consistently scores well in long-term reliability surveys, and this directly supports used car demand.

Mazda's resale performance is strong — typically retaining 40–55% of value after five years — though it trails Toyota at the very top end. For the average Australian car buyer, a well-maintained Mazda represents excellent value for money, which supports robust demand across all models.

Mazda CX-5 resale value

The CX-5 is Mazda's flagship SUV and consistently among Australia's best-selling vehicles. It holds value exceptionally well:

•A **2022 CX-5 GT SP Turbo** with 30,000 km typically trades at $38,000–$46,000
•A **2020 CX-5 Touring** with 60,000 km typically trades at $27,000–$34,000
•A **2018 CX-5 GT** with 90,000 km typically trades at $19,000–$25,000

The CX-5's consistent quality and broad appeal make it one of the easier used cars to sell quickly. Soul Red Crystal and Machine Grey are the standout colours for resale.

Mazda3 and Mazda2 resale values

The Mazda3 is one of Australia's most consistently popular small cars:

•A **2022 Mazda3 G20 Touring hatch** with 30,000 km typically trades at $24,000–$30,000
•A **2020 Mazda3 SP25** with 50,000 km typically trades at $18,000–$23,000
•A **2018 Mazda3 Maxx Sport** with 80,000 km typically trades at $13,000–$17,000

The Mazda2 is a smaller city car that holds reasonable value but has a narrower buyer pool than the Mazda3.

Mazda CX-30 and CX-9 resale values

The CX-30 (introduced 2019) has established itself as a strong performer in the small SUV segment:

•A **2022 CX-30 G20 Touring** with 30,000 km typically trades at $27,000–$33,000
•A **2020 CX-30 G25 Astina** with 50,000 km typically trades at $23,000–$28,000

The CX-9, Mazda's three-row large SUV, also holds reasonable value:

•A 2022 CX-9 Touring with 30,000 km typically trades at $42,000–$50,000
•A 2020 CX-9 GT with 60,000 km typically trades at $30,000–$37,000

Getting the best price for your Mazda

A few Mazda-specific tips for maximising your sale price:

•**Logbook service history matters** — an incomplete logbook can reduce the offer by $500–$2,000 depending on the model and year
•**Soul Red Crystal** is the most desirable non-white Mazda colour and commands a small premium
•**Turbo variants** (CX-5 GT SP Turbo, Mazda3 Astina) command meaningfully higher prices than base petrol engines
•**Check the spare wheel** — having the original spare present is noted by buyers on many Mazda models

Frequently asked questions

Is a Mazda CX-5 a good investment from a resale perspective?

Yes — the CX-5 is one of the better-performing SUVs for resale in its segment. It retains value similarly to the Hyundai Tucson and slightly below the Toyota RAV4. For the price point, it is among the strongest resale propositions in the mid-size SUV market.

Does Mazda's premium interior quality affect resale values?

Yes, positively. Mazda's interior quality and driving dynamics position it above volume competitors like Mitsubishi and Nissan in buyers' minds, which supports higher resale prices for equivalent specifications.

What Mazda models sell fastest on the used market?

The CX-5, CX-30, and Mazda3 are the fastest-moving Mazda models in Australia's used market. The CX-5 in particular typically sells within two weeks when priced correctly.
