Get a Dealer Offer

Get a free, no-obligation Dealer Offer from a Trade Me Motors verified dealer. Enter your number plate and region, and we’ll be in touch to book an inspection. You’ll get an offer within a few days. If you accept, drop off your car and the dealer pays you. No listing, no viewings and no haggling with buyers.

Yes. The dealer will work with you to get a settlement statement from your finance company. They’ll subtract the amount owing from the offer price, settle the loan with the finance company and get the security lifted from the car before the change of ownership. Any remaining balance is paid to you.

Through Dealer Offer on Trade Me Motors, you can sell your car to a verified dealer without listing it. Instead of hunting for “we buy cars” services, you get one inspection and one offer. Once you accept, the dealer pays you, so there’s no waiting around for a private buyer.

Selling privately usually gets you a higher price, but it takes longer and means listings, viewings and negotiating. Selling to a dealer is faster and simpler, with one inspection and one offer. If price matters most, list your car on Trade Me Motors and get it seen by over 1 million Kiwi every month. If speed matters most, get a Dealer Offer.

Enter your number plate and region at the top of this page to check if your car qualifies. We’ll be in touch to book an inspection with a Trade Me Motors verified dealer, and you’ll get an offer within a few days. Accept it and drop off your car, or walk away. It’s free either way.

Trading in is handy if you’re buying from the same dealer, but the price of your old car gets mixed in with the deal on the new one. Selling to a dealer through Dealer Offer is free and there’s no need to buy a replacement, so you can compare offers before you decide.

Yes, some of our Dealers will consider cars with damage or with mechanical faults. Please mention any damages when we get in touch, so the dealer can give you an accurate offer.

Yes. The dealer will factor the cost of any repairs and admin needed to get your car a WoF into their offer, so you don’t need to sort it before you sell. Just mention it when we get in touch.

Not at all. There’s no obligation at any stage, even after the inspection. If the offer isn’t right for you, just walk away.

Your range is based on published AutoGrab trade valuations for the wider market, so it’s a guide only. The dealer’s final offer depends on a physical inspection of your car and may fall outside the range.

Dealer Offer is currently available in Auckland and Canterbury for cars our dealers are looking for. Enter your number plate and region at the top of the page to check if your car qualifies. We’re working on bringing it to more regions soon.
