What is Fast Car Offer?



Gumtree Cars is one of Australia’s favourite marketplaces for buying and selling used cars. Fast Car Offer is a new, simple way to sell your car quickly. With FCO, you can receive an offer and get paid in as little as 24 hours.


How does it work?


1. Tell us about your car and get an offer

Enter your rego number, rego state and mileage. Alternatively, you may also enter your car details manually. A Gumtree-verified buyer will review the information and provide an offer.

2. Schedule a free inspection

Choose a time and location that works for you. A verified buyer will inspect the vehicle to confirm its condition.

3. Accept the offer and get paid

If you're happy with the price, payment will be transferred, and collection of your car will be arranged.



Will a Fast Car Offer buyer purchase any car?


Not every vehicle will qualify. Buyers may be unable to purchase cars that are stolen, written off, severely damaged, or in very poor condition.

However, if your car is in reasonable condition and matches the details you provide, there's a strong chance a verified buyer will make an offer during the inspection.

If you're unsure, simply complete the online form. There's no obligation, and an inspection is free.


What if the Fast Car Offer website can't find my car?


There are two ways to enter your car details:

  1. Enter your registration number, state and mileage OR
  2. Click "Enter car details manually"

If your car still can't be identified with either of these options, please contact our customer service team. They will manually pass your details on to a selected buyer for review.
