How can I get my car ready for sale?
First impressions matter so when a buyer comes to see your car, make sure that it looks its best, it is as clean as possible and it looks as good as new. Repair broken features but weigh the costs of fixing parts that might cost more than the value they will add.

How is the car valuation calculated?
Price estimate is powered by Glass’s Guide and is based on the car being in good condition with average mileage. Valuation is a guide only and more information can be found by visiting https://help.gumtree.com.au/AU/articles/en_US/KB_Article/Car-Valuation-Data-AU
Why is the value of my car appearing below what I expected?
Price estimates powered by third party Glass should be used as a guide only. If a valuation reading is significantly above or below what is expected, we recommend factoring in the condition of the cars' kit and the current kilometres for future sale pricing. The valuation price provided is based upon an average price range for a car model based on the car being in good condition with average mileage.
